The human brain is one of the most complex objects in the known universe. But it didn't come with an instruction manual.

And in school, we were told what to learn but no one ever taught us how to learn effectively.

By combining today's unprecedented AI capabilities with the latest research in the science of how we learn most effectively, Julian Alvarez and David Glass are on a quest to invent the future of learning at Wisdolia.

In this special episode, Julian is interviewed by his co-founder, David, to get Julian’s perspective on the ups and downs of his startup journey, why he left his job at Meta to become a startup founder, what he is now building at Wisdolia, and his thoughts on the generative AI x Learning spaces.

Wisdolia is an AI learning co-pilot that creates an interactive & personalized learning experience from any learning material, with the goal of making it easier than ever to engage in active learning. They started with a Chrome extension for students that uses AI to generate question & answer flashcards from any YouTube video, article, or PDF.

Wisdolia is on a mission to transform anyone into a super learner who can retain and understand anything at least 10x better and faster 🚀

They launched 5 months ago and have over 50k downloads and 500+ paying subscribers after starting to monetize 2 months ago. Wisdolia is currently raising their pre-seed round and will be closing the round soon. Reach out to Julian if you’re interested in learning more.

Julian also gets vulnerable and shares the insane story of how he got suspended from his University for hiring freelancers to do his homework 😮
