About Lightbulb.ai

Lightbulb uses computer vision & emotion ai to provide real time learner engagement and emotion analytics for remote learning businesses globally.

We help improve acquisition, reduce churn and transform teacher training processes by providing emotion & engagement feedback of the participants & hosts, both in one-to-one or one-to-many learning scenarios.
This analysis can be done continuously via an SDK integration with the LMS or ad-hoc for any video-conference based meeting.
Businesses can also test their pre-recorded video content with internal teams or external users prior to rollout.

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
