Join us LIVE, here at 12 PM CT, where we're talking to @brilliantorg Co-Founder/ CEO, @suekhim.

Sue pitched Brilliant to @jason at our LAUNCH Festival back in 2013, catching the eye of early investor, @chamath. 13 years later, Brilliant is running strong with 10M+ users.

Last week, she shipped Koji, an AI tutor with a sharp thesis: "AI is making kids dumber. It should be making them geniuses." Other chatbots hand out answers, while Koji uses the Socratic method to actually make kids think! 🧠

We'll see you all in 40 minutes!

@twistartups @brilliantorg @suekhim @Jason @chamath I think Brilliant has a ton of potential! AI is the greatest teacher there has ever been and levels the playing field. It just needs to be implemented in a thoughtful way in the classrooms and we can make the kids smart again!
