Israel is poised to become the first country globally to implement AI tutoring nationwide. Startup eSelf, in collaboration with the Center for Educational Technology (CET), Israel's largest K-12 textbook publisher, will provide personalized AI personal tutoring to students across the country. Harvard University will serve as an academic advisor for the pilot program, evaluating its educational framework and impact. The initial pilot phase, launching in May, is expected to involve 10,000 students. This collaboration aims to address two major challenges facing education today: declining student achievement and a global teacher shortage.

Dr. Alan Becker, a deep learning scientist who previously led the development of Snapchat's 'My AI' chatbot, has recently come back to launch a new company called eSelf. This startup is focused on creating a real-time, video-based conversational AI assistant platform and has successfully secured $4.5 million in seed funding, officially entering the fierce competition in the field of AI assistants. eSelf's early goal is to provide a more realistic and interactive AI experience for verticals such as education, sales, financial services, real estate, and healthcare.
