For our edtech business. AI can be a great contributor for learners and content creators both. Apart from the most common use case of creating AI chatbot. 

We are planning to utilize AI tools in Content Discovery, Development and Delivery. Which include Voice & Chatbot based content search on our platform, Video Creation, Text Generation & Summarization (Building Synopsis & Flash Cards), Voice Over, Making a lot of Text Learning more fun through animated videos etc. 

I don't think we are looking at answers, mostly it's matter of implementation for us.

We use various tools in our office for graphics, images, and presentations, including ChatGPT-4 and its plugins and DALL-E, as well as Microsoft Copilot. We also utilize software that leverages AI in the backend for tasks like GST reconciliation. 

I recently shared a use case and a story titled "A Tale of Technology: AI's Impact on GST" on LinkedIn. You can find it here: https://l1nk.dev/Esd6Z.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."
