{"id":90256,"title":"YouLearn - An AI tutor personalized to each student","tagline":"YouLearn turns your learning materials into concise notes, an AI tutor you can talk to, and personalized tests","body":"Hey everyone! We’re [Achyut](https://www.linkedin.com/in/achyut-byanjankar/), [David](https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-yu-871202244/), and [Soami](https://www.linkedin.com/in/soamikapadia/) from [YouLearn](https://www.youlearn.ai/).\n\n# **TL;DR**\n\nYouLearn is an AI tutor personalized to each student. In the last **eight months**, we’ve grown from **$1K to $70K MRR**, with **150,000 monthly active users**, by providing concise notes, an AI tutor you can talk to, and personalized tests based on your learning materials.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/wVkQXY49JiE\n\n# **📍 How we started**\n\nWe met two weeks into college and started hacking on projects in our dorm. By sophomore year, we were fed up with watching **long, outdated lecture videos** and reading **dense textbooks**, only to forget a few days later. Generic AI tools gave **quick answers**, but those shortcuts left us with only **surface-level understanding**. We kept **cramming before exams**, forgetting most of it soon after, and repeating the same cycle.\n\n# **💻 What we built**\n\nOut of that frustration, we built **YouLearn**. Upload any learning material, and YouLearn turns it into **clear notes**, an **AI tutor** that walks you through the topic, and **adaptive quizzes** to help you remember. Learning is now **faster, easier, and more memorable.**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=90256\u0026key=user_uploads/1378551/166ca331-2283-486c-a7a4-074ae4ea4c86)\n\n# **🧑‍🎓 Why students choose YouLearn**\n\n* **Designed by students, for students:** As recent undergrads, we lived the stress of college life, so we built YouLearn’s AI tutor and quizzes to solve these challenges.\n* **Everything in one place:** One upload instantly delivers notes, an AI tutor, and quizzes. No more bouncing between ChatGPT, Quizlet, Notion, etc.\n* **Made for exam success:** Take practice tests with full answer breakdowns, track your progress, and pinpoint your weak spots (e.g, “Review Page 42, paragraph 1”).\n\n# **📚 Building a better way to study**\n\nToday, over **150,000 students use YouLearn each month** to study smarter, with more than **2.2 million+ learning materials uploaded.** One med student told us he didn’t think AI could do this until he started **acing exams with perfect scores** across multiple courses. His friend jumped from **60% to 90%** using YouLearn, and now **four of his classmates have upgraded**. As he puts it:\n\n\u003e I got better grades than people that went to class. Because literally for me, it's my tutor.\n\nThis is just the start. We believe **every student will have a personal AI tutor**, and we’re building the one they’ll never want to miss a class on.\n\n# **🙏 Our ask**\n\nIf you're a student or learning something new, try [YouLearn](https://www.youlearn.ai/) and share your feedback at [founders@youlearn.ai](mailto:founders@youlearn.ai) :)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=90256\u0026key=user_uploads/1378551/18df7d7a-a9b5-4b1a-8c1b-aeeba480dab8)\n\n","slug":"NTk-youlearn-an-ai-tutor-personalized-to-each-student","created_at":"2025-05-09T23:00:17.603Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T03:48:44.682Z","total_vote_count":127,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/NTk-youlearn-an-ai-tutor-personalized-to-each-student","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=90256\u0026key=user_uploads/1378551/166ca331-2283-486c-a7a4-074ae4ea4c86","company":{"id":30442,"name":"YouLearn","slug":"youlearn","url":"https://www.youlearn.ai/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/6853a397a8c949c1f81a95e63684f2b530461ce0.png","batch":"Spring 2025","industry":"Education","tags":["AI-Enhanced Learning","Education","AI"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30442"}}
