It's no secret: the cost of education is rising every year, with no sign of slowing down. However, there's a wide world of learning tools to explore, and many of them can enhance your educational experience without breaking the bank. One of these tools is edYOU, a platform that gives you the benefit of a 24/7 tutor for a fraction of the cost of hiring a professional.
Dr. Michael Everest, the mind behind edYOU, created the platform for learners of all levels. Users connect with conversational AI beings who can discuss specific subject areas, ask quiz questions, and even discuss stress and other facets of health and mental wellness. Conversations happen in real time, and there are no pre-recorded responses—every interaction is authentic.
edYOU is ushering in a new era of artificial intelligence in education. "We developed an incredibly lifelike AI being that offers interactive communication and a unique learning experience," says Dr. Everest. "What sets this AI apart from other similar technologies is the addition of a human-like face, which adds a new dimension to the interaction. I refer to this as the 'Safe Face of AI.'"
While edYOU is not a new company, it is only now making its technology directly available to consumers. You don't have to be a student to use it, and you don't have to pay exorbitant prices, either. There are three pricing tiers available: Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
The Silver tier gives you one day of access to the platform, which is ideal if you need a little help studying for a test or just want to take edYOU for a test drive. You'll be able to experience both learning and testing modules and be introduced to your own virtual Wellness Companion. The Silver tier's standard pricing is $26, but for a limited time, you can purchase it for a pre-launch special price of $19.99.
The next step up is the Gold tier, which gives you a more substantial preview in terms of time and available features. With this plan, you can use edYOU for seven days. You have access to the learning module, testing module, and Wellness Companion, which are included in the Silver tier. You can also access your conversation history and take advantage of edYOU's new gamification features.
The Gold tier is typically $99, but the pre-launch special price is $74.99. If you want the full edYOU experience and are interested in using the technology long-term, the Platinum tier is the best choice.
With this tier, you get a full month of access to all the platform offers: learning and testing modules, Wellness Companion, conversation history, gamification features, and Certificates of Completion. The standard price for the Platinum tier is $265, but its pre-launch special price is just $199.99.
Whether you're a teacher, medical student, college student, high-schooler, or even a parent of a child learning to read, you can find something valuable in edYOU. The platform is as inclusive as it is broad.
Dr. Everest sums it up this way: "Our aim is to create an all-inclusive environment that truly assists individuals seeking to improve their academic performance and outcomes. Whether they are in kindergarten or pursuing a medical degree, edYOU is designed to cater to their unique needs and help them achieve better grades and educational success."
