Recently, AI Thinkie "One-on-One," a project under TAL Education Group (NYSE: TAL), has been honored with the "Innovative Application of AI Industry Scenario Case" certification by the Industrial Culture Development Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). This recognition highlights the project’s exceptional innovation in the field of AI education and establishes the company as a benchmark enterprise in certified AI operational applications within the education industry. This milestone not only demonstrates TAL’s technological strength and innovative capability in the AI education domain as acknowledged by authoritative institutions, but also marks another significant step forward in the AI-driven education landscape.

To actively promote high-quality development in the general AI industry and accelerate the vertical industry's scenario-based applications, the MIIT Industrial Culture Development Center initiated the "Innovative Application of AI Industry Scenario Case" collection and evaluation process in May 2024.

AI Thinkie "One-on-One" is part of TAL Education Group, a leading education technology enterprise in China. Since its establishment in 2003, TAL has been committed to driving change and progress in the education sector through technological innovation. In 2023, TAL launched its self-developed mathematical large model, "MathGPT," and applied it to educational hardware products, further advancing the intelligent development of such devices. AI Thinkie "One-on-One" leverages learning hardware and large modeling technology to create an integrated AI tutor for desk learning scenarios, providing tailored one-on-one tutoring based on children’s subject characteristics and learning progress. This revolutionary product not only allows parents to delegate teaching responsibilities but also supports differentiated learning. The success of AI Thinkie "One-on-One" in obtaining this recognition further solidifies TAL’s leadership in the field of AI education.

Multimodal Question Explanation Breaks Passive Response Models

Homework assistance is a rigid demand in China's education market. Parents often face the dual challenges of insufficient energy and limited expertise to help their children with academic tasks. AI Thinkie "One-on-One" effectively alleviates parents’ burden by providing intelligent tutoring services, improving both children’s learning efficiency and outcomes. At its core, AI Thinkie "One-on-One" employs innovative multimodal interaction technology and applications of advanced large models. With integrated sensors such as cameras and microphones in its learning hardware, and technologies like Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computer Vision (CV), and advanced models, the platform enables real-time perception and feedback on students’ learning behaviors.

Key innovations of AI Thinkie "One-on-One" include:

1. Dynamic Handwriting Trajectory Recognition: Using cameras to capture handwriting and analyzing its dynamic features enhances the system’s personalized handwriting recognition capabilities, accurately recording the writing process to support tailored teaching strategies.
2. Multimodal Question Explanation: By integrating voice, text, and image data, the system generates personalized strategies for explaining questions. It dynamically adjusts teaching methods based on children's learning progress and comprehension levels, making learning more engaging and enjoyable.
3. Innovative Data Processing Technologies: Through distributed storage and domestic database clusters, the system ensures the efficient processing of multimodal behavior data while meeting children’s learning needs, significantly improving their learning experience.

For instance, when a child encounters a challenging question while working on a paper assignment, they can ask questions to "AI Thinkie." By recognizing desk content or targeted screen highlights, the system provides answers and encourages independent problem-solving. AI Thinkie even guides learners with step-by-step explanations and follow-up inquiries to confirm full comprehension. AI Thinkie "One-on-One" transcends traditional passive-response mechanisms in learning machines, enabling them to promote intelligent, personalized educational assistance through dynamic student interactions.

AI Makes Education More Inclusive

The launch of AI Thinkie "One-on-One" represents not just a technical breakthrough but also a profound social contribution. By applying AI technology, it helps address educational disparities and provides high-quality education to children in remote areas, ensuring equal access to educational resources for all.

By reducing education costs and improving learning efficiency, AI Thinkie "One-on-One" delivers significant cost-savings and gains in efficiency to parents and students alike. Its comprehensive service system caters to various learning needs, such as problem-solving, English role-playing, and guided reading—all while meeting diverse age-specific and personalized learning requirements.

Winning the "Innovative Application of AI Industry Scenario Case" certification is not only a testament to TAL’s innovation in AI-driven education but also a valuable reference for the broader digital transformation of the education industry.

Additionally, TAL has long been committed to social responsibility and philanthropy. In October 2013, it founded the Xueersi Charitable Foundation (TAL Charitable Foundation) with the aim of "helping more people enjoy equal access to educational resources." Through shared resources and support for diversified educational projects—such as the AI Teacher Mandarin Teaching System, Dual-Teacher Classroom, Qidian Plan, and Chunya Online Education Welfare Platform—TAL leverages technology to promote equity in education.
