Scaling an educator-first AI teacher/tutor model cost-effectively for underserved learners where internet access is unreliable and cloud inference costs are prohibitive.

Built OIAI, an offline-first AI education solution that runs AI capabilities locally on devices via edge computing.
Used Amazon Bedrock and AWS cloud infrastructure to support secure, scalable development, CI/CD, and container orchestration.
The tutor adapts to each learner's pace and style and delivers nine core AI literacy lessons aligned with the UNESCO AI Competency Framework.

Grew from 25,000 to more than 155,000 learners within weeks.
Reached more than 240,000 individuals in less than a year, including over 2,000 learners in arid and semi-arid regions.
7% of learners completed more than 10 hours of coursework within 2 days.

Architecture

The solution uses edge computing to run AI capabilities locally on devices rather than relying on constant cloud connectivity, while AWS cloud infrastructure supports secure development, CI/CD pipelines, and container orchestration. Amazon Bedrock is cited as the generative AI service supporting the solution.
