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.

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
