What is the core vision behind nFactorial AI?

The big vision for nFactorial AI is to create the world’s largest catalog of over 100,000 “world-class masters” from diverse industries, geographies, and languages. These AI tutors will be available for video-first interactions, aiming to make expert knowledge accessible to a billion people.

How does nFactorial AI leverage AI to deliver its unique experience?

nFactorial AI’s key insight is that in many fields, top human experts still outperform current AI. By “embedding the thoughts of the top 1% of humans into its context,” the AI generates higher-quality output. The platform mimics not just the voice, mannerisms, facial expressions, and vocabulary of these “legends,” but also their distinct way of thinking. This is achieved by grounding each AI mentor in their extensive public writings, talks, and known viewpoints, utilizing a vast library of 3800+ posts, essays, books, interviews, and blogs.

Who are some of the “legends” available for tutoring on nFactorial AI?

Initially, nFactorial AI is launching with AI personas of seven prominent figures. These include Paul Graham (for startups), Elon Musk (for physics and first-principle thinking), Terence Tao (for math), Andrej Karpathy (for AI), Morgan Housel (for personal money management), Bill Ackman (for investing), and Marc Andreessen (for venture capital and personal productivity).

How does a user interact with an AI tutor on nFactorial AI?

The interaction is designed to be similar to a Zoom call. Users can:

  1. Start a video call with their chosen “legend.”
  2. Listen to a pre-generated 5-minute lecture with slides.
  3. Ask the AI tutor questions directly.
  4. Request the AI tutor to create a new lecture on any topic, ideally within the teacher’s domain expertise for optimal quality.
