Gakku raises $51M to bet on conversational learning with an AI coach
Scobleizer · x · 2026-11-11
Kids' AI learning product Gakku announced a $51 million round, betting on conversational learning: language isn't just how we communicate but how we think, and the learning process itself is the product rather than something to automate away.
The promo twist: co-founder Annie Chen was interviewed by Raku, Gakku's AI learning companion — an AI asking a human whether self-expression matters more in the age of AI. The clip was reposted by Robert Scoble.
