Bengaluru, February 2025.
Great Learning, a
global leader in professional learning and upskilling, is leveraging AI to
chart the next phase of its growth with the launch of AI Mentor and AI Teacher.
These breakthrough AI innovations are set to transform the overall digital
learning experience, making high-quality education personalised, accessible,
affordable and scalable for learners worldwide.
With the AI
Mentor, every learner gets their own personal learning coach to support them
through their learning journey at every step. It delivers an uninterrupted
learning experience with 24/7 doubt resolution, and step-by-step
guidance while working on projects. If a learner gets stuck while coding,
the AI Mentor provides real-time coding support by dropping intelligent
hints to nudge them towards the correct solution without revealing the answer
directly. It also makes them job-ready through AI-driven mock interviews
to simulate real-world job interview scenarios, which help learners build their
confidence to crack interviews.
Since its rollout
across select cohorts of learners over the past few months, the AI Mentor has
made a significant impact, with over 400,000
coding hints generated, 130,000
learner queries resolved, and 300+
mock interviews conducted.
The AI Teacher, a
breakthrough innovation, ensures a highly personalised, and interactive
learning experience. It customises the lessons based on learners' context,
evaluates their understanding, identifies knowledge gaps, and provides valuable
feedback on their progress—just like a great human teacher would. This is all
in addition to the guidance and mentorship from industry experts & faculty
that learners already have access to as part of Great Learning’s ‘Mentored
learning’ model.
The company also
announced that all their AI powered learning enablements will come under the
umbrella brand ‘Glaide’ - a combination of ‘GL’ (Great Learning), ‘AI’
and ‘aide’ - which is the true essence of what it delivers.
Commenting on the launch, Mohan Lakhamraju,
Founder & CEO of Great Learning, said: “Our
singular focus has always been on delivering exceptional learning outcomes. We
were the first to bring together the best of classroom and online education in
2013, and the first globally to introduce online mentored learning in 2017
—combining the flexibility of self-learning with the power of expert human
guidance to drive real outcomes at scale. However, great teachers are few and
most learners never get to experience the magic of learning from them. This is
what we are trying to solve using AI. We are leveraging AI to bring that same
magic of great teachers to everyone. As AI advances further, we will continue
to push boundaries, making high-quality education more accessible, affordable,
and impactful for learners everywhere.”
Over the coming
months and years, Great Learning will roll out its AI-powered learning
experiences to newer and larger audiences. As AI permeates through all aspects
of our professional and personal lives, Great Learning aspires to be the
trusted source of learning for everyone to navigate this transformation.
