Chegg, Inc., a student-first connected learning platform, has announced CheggMate, a new AI enhanced learning service built with OpenAI’s advanced model, GPT-4.
CheggMate will leverage Chegg’s personalised learning platform, proprietary data set, and the advanced problem-solving capabilities of GPT-4, to create an AI conversational learning companion that will empower students to learn in real-time more effectively, and with greater accuracy than ever before.
AI powered learning
CheggMate will deliver personalised learning pathways, tailor-made quizzes and tests, give students context, and help guide each student’s learning journey. Students can input a query in any format, whether written text, photo, math query, or diagram. With CheggMate, they can ask new questions, get clarifications in different formats, break out the steps, and drill down into concepts they don’t understand.
“Students depend on Chegg’s high quality, accurate learning platform to assist them in mastering their subjects and understanding their course material. We believe the combination of Chegg’s proven ability to improve student outcomes, with the breakthrough technology of OpenAI and Chat GPT, will create the most powerful study companion for students around the world,” says Dan Rosensweig, CEO & president of Chegg, Inc. “CheggMate will enable students to have an instantaneous AI conversation that is personalised to their learning style and needs, supported by our substantial proven and reliable content library. CheggMate combines the best of AI and Chegg’s student-focused expertise and will be exclusively available on Chegg’s platform.”
“We believe AI has the potential to provide tailored learning experiences to everyone and improve the way people around the world learn,” says Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. “We are very excited to work with Chegg, given their history as student-first learning platform.”
In a recent study, 77% of Chegg customers said they are excited by AI chat-based learning support, but 85% of students said that they would prefer it if it is supported by human expertise.
