Education is undergoing a quiet revolution. Artificial intelligence is no longer just automating tasks; it is shaping how students think, learn, and interact with knowledge itself. From structuring study sessions to decoding complex subjects, AI is transforming learning from a one-size-fits-all experience into something deeply personal and adaptive.
Leading that charge is Quizard AI, an education technology startup redefining how students approach studying. With over 70 million tutoring sessions completed by nearly 4 million users, Quizard has become one of the fastest-growing AI learning platforms globally. Its latest innovation, Unstuck AI, gives students a structured way to master difficult topics by organizing class materials, creating personalized study guides, and building lasting understanding rather than quick recall.
Behind this evolution are Achraf Golli, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer, and Sidhant Bendre, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, both recognized on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for their work in AI and education. Together, they are rethinking what it means to learn with AI.
Hello and welcome. My first question is that many AI education tools promise efficiency but struggle with authenticity. How is Quizard tackling that challenge?
Achraf Golli: Thank you. I would say that we wanted to build something that actually teaches. Too many AI tools jump straight to giving students the answer and skip the process of learning. Our approach is different. Quizard acts like a guide, walking students through the reasoning steps. It is about why the answer works, not just what the answer is.
We have also focused on transparency. When the system is unsure, it cites sources, explains its confidence level, and provides context. Students should feel like they are working with a mentor, not a black box. That is what builds trust in AI.
Sidhant Bendre: Exactly. There is a misconception that AI replaces effort, but it should not. We designed Unstuck AI to help students structure their learning instead of shortcutting it. They can upload class notes, problem sets, and even photos of handwritten work, and the AI builds a study flow around it. It is a companion that helps students get unstuck, not just get answers.
There is still hesitation among universities about using AI. Why do you think institutions are cautious?
Sidhant Bendre: Fear of the unknown, mostly. Many schools still see AI as a threat to academic honesty when it should be seen as an opportunity for academic growth. Instead of trying to eliminate AI from classrooms, we should teach how to use it.
I often tell educators that the solution is AI literacy. If students understand how to use AI responsibly, how to question it, verify it, and learn from it, it becomes an extension of their learning process, not a replacement for it.
Achraf Golli: Collaboration is key. AI companies and educational institutions need to work together to set guidelines that balance innovation and integrity. That is part of what made our recognition in the GSV Cup 50 so meaningful. It was not just an award but proof that AI can enhance education in a responsible way.
Looking ahead, what do you think classrooms will look like five years from now?
Achraf Golli: I think the era of standardized learning is ending. AI allows education to be personal again, to adapt to each student’s pace, strengths, and gaps. We are moving toward systems that understand how a student learns best, tracking progress over time to provide continuous support.
Sidhant Bendre: I see AI becoming the invisible layer that connects all learning materials. Right now, students juggle notes, PDFs, slides, and online resources. With platforms like Unstuck AI, all of that gets unified, organized automatically, summarized intelligently, and turned into personalized study plans. Teachers benefit too. AI can help analyze performance trends, personalize teaching methods, and save them from repetitive tasks such as grading.
My last question is, what motivates you most about building in the AI-education space?
Achraf Golli: Access. Great education should not depend on geography or money. Private tutoring is still a luxury for most students. AI can change that by delivering a personalized learning experience at scale anywhere in the world.
Sidhant Bendre: For me, it is the global potential. Having studied in India, Nigeria, and the United States, I have seen how unequal access to quality education can be. AI can bridge that gap, bringing expert-level guidance to students no matter where they are. The challenge now is ensuring that this power is used ethically, to help students think better, not just work faster.
Quizard AI’s mission extends beyond homework help. It is about shaping a generation that learns smarter, deeper, and more independently. As judges at Globee Awards, Achraf Golli and Sidhant Bendre are proving that AI in education is not just about technology; it is about transforming the way the world learns.
