Chollet backs Gakku: conversational AI as the biggest education leap of our generation
fchollet · x · 2026-10-15
François Chollet argues 1-on-1 tutoring is education's gold standard but doesn't scale—and conversational AI can change that. He recommends Gakku, an AI mentoring app for K-12 students built by Annie's team: a voice-chat coach guides kids through 10-minute essay-writing missions covering brainstorming, drafting, and revising, training them to generate their own ideas rather than doing the work for them.
