After observing that students preparing for the JEE exam in India struggled not from a lack of information but from a feeling of isolation and unresolved doubts, the company shifted its focus. Their AI now aims to identify the root cause of a student's mistake, understand their learning patterns, and provide targeted explanations to foster deeper comprehension and retention, rather than just immediate answers.
