About Ahura AI
Ahura AI is an artificial intelligence based, one-on-one instructor. Just like a private tutor, Ahura assesses body language to help students understand the material being taught. If confused or frustrated, Ahura’s AI adapts to explain the material in a different way that the student understands better. If the student is distracted or frustrated, Ahura will engage the student with more interesting material. If the student is stressed, Ahura relaxes the difficulty so the student builds confidence. Ahura is one-to-one instruction using artificial intelligence. Read more about Ahura AI at www.ahuraai.com.
