info_outlineThe rise of online learning platforms like Coursera and Udemy has created a massive demand for learning new skills. However, the completion rates on these platforms have been disappointingly low, with only 1% to 2% of learners actually finishing a course. This is due to the lack of personalization and the absence of support for learners who may have different backgrounds and prerequisites.
Korbit recognized this problem and set out to create a solution that would address the individual needs of learners. Their initial approach was to build an e-learning platform that used AI to personalize the learning experience. However, they soon realized that even with personalization, learners still struggled to identify what skills they needed to learn and how to apply them in their jobs.
In this episode, we sit with Iulian Vlad, CEO and Co-founder of Korbit. Iulian shares his journey from being a math and AI enthusiast to working on personal assistants for Amazon's Echo device. He discusses the pain points in online learning and workforce training, highlighting the lack of personalization and the disconnect between learning and job requirements. Iulian explains how Korbit's AI mentor platform solves these issues by providing personalized, in-context learning within the workflow of software engineers. He also discusses the challenges of remote work and the importance of building a strong team culture.

Founder Bio:
Iulian is the founder of Mila spin-off Korbit, a startup on a mission to transform the future of work and learning on the job. Korbit is building an AI Mentor for Software Engineering which does code reviews and just like a senior engineer detects issues and explains how-to fix them. The AI Mentor can detect over 10,000 issues from critical bugs and security vulnerabilities to code architecture and performance issues. The AI Mentor then trains the software engineering team to resolve them. The result: teams ship code better, faster and accelerate their code review process by 10x while improving code quality and upskilling engineers.
Iulian completed his Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence and his Master's in Computer Science and Computational Statistics. He is the winner of the C2 Emerging Entrepreneurs Award and NeurIPS Competition Award, and is an alumni of the Mila research lab with over 20 peer-reviewed scientific papers and books published to date. Iulian was the employee #1 of Copenhagen startup DigiCorpus building AI for healthcare solutions. There he developed from scratch their AI-powered physiotherapy solution and launched it into the market.
