Korean Edtech startup Riiid is set to offer its AI-driven education app content to US-based education service provider Kaplan. This announcement by Riiid comes as part of its global expansion plan after raising a Series D investment of $41.8 million in July 2020.
AI-driven solution for competitive exams
Riiid has signed a contract for individual-tailored learning content for Kaplan, which is a global education service provider operating in over 30 countries. Riiid is known for its ‘SANTA TOIEC’ (Test of English for International Communication) test prep platform that provides services in Korea and Japan.
With Kaplan, the Edtech Korean startup will develop an AI home tutoring program focussed on the GRE and GMAT exams. Riiid will be provided 10-year anonymized learner data, including exam content, evaluation items, and test scores by Kaplan for the AI-driven app development. Riiid will use its deep learning algorithm solution to develop the GRE and GMAT tutoring app, which can predict individual test scores and learning behaviors and help users achieve learning goals within a set time frame.
