Gizmo Raises $3.5M from NFX to Supercharge Learning with Generative AI Quiz Platform

Gizmo, an AI startup that makes learning so easy that anyone can learn anything, today announced $3.5 million in seed funding from NFX, Ada Ventures, and Capital T. The company’s platform allows users to simply copy and paste in their notes to begin a gamified and social learning experience. With the new funding, Gizmo plans to scale its platform globally and roll out new features for its users.

The Problem: Traditional Learning Apps are Boring and Ineffective

Repetitive learning has proved to be the most effective form of Learning but traditional learning apps use the same questions and answers over and over, creating a boring and rigid experience. Legacy learning apps also require users to put in a tremendous amount of work, leading to quick drop-off rates of usage. Gizmo solves these problems by creating an easy, engaging, and effective process for its users.

“Generative AI will disrupt education as much or more than computers did,” stated Pete Flint, General Partner at NFX. “Gizmo is at the forefront of that transformation by creating a personal learning assistant for students and non-students alike.”

Gizmo’s Solution: Social and Gamified Learning Powered by AI

Users start their Gizmo experience by copying and pasting their notes into the app. The company’s AI then pulls out key information, and begins quizzing users on that information in a variety of different formats and wording. The company’s gamification makes the process of learning fun and incentivised. Gizmo has also created a marketplace where users and educational influencers can share their for quizzes with others.

“Memory is critical for all forms of learning but people forget 90% of what they learn,” explained Petros Christodoulou, CEO and cofounder of Gizmo. “Generative AI is enabling us to create new ways to help people remember everything they learn though in a fun and engaging way, and is why we started Gizmo.”
