Neosapiens, Dankkumai Launch Seol Min-seok Voice Real-time AI Tutor

The future of education is now unfolding in the hands of students. Voice AI specialist company Neosapience and education startup Dankkumai have joined forces to usher in an era of real-time AI tutors. In particular, this innovative tutor uses AI that has thoroughly learned the voice and speaking style of star instructor Seol Min-seok to directly answer students' questions in real-time, providing a vivid learning experience as if conversing with an actual instructor. In response to a student's question like "I don't understand this part," the AI tutor clearly explains core concepts in instructor Seol Min-seok's familiar voice, also providing rich related background knowledge. This transcends the one-sided knowledge delivery method of existing online lectures, realizing true real-time interaction between students and an AI instructor. Immediate voice feedback in major subjects like Korean history and science is expected to dramatically boost students' learning engagement and comprehension. At the core of this advanced technology lies Neosapience's independently developed sophisticated voice AI API. It not only accurately recognizes user questions but also goes beyond simple text-to-speech (TTS) to implement natural voice responses that maintain contextually appropriate intonation, emotional expression, and the perfect continuity of conversation even across successive questions. This is a crucial factor in providing learners with an immersive experience, as if communicating with a real instructor, not an AI. This collaboration also aligns with a key trend in the rapidly emerging global edutech market. According to market research firm Technavio, the global edutech market is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 15.9% from 2025 to 2029, reaching an estimated value of approximately $170.8 billion. AI-powered personalized learning experiences are identified as a major driving force behind this growth, and Neosapience's AI tutor will be a significant step in leading this future. Neosapience's voice AI technology, 'Typecast,' is already widely utilized in the education sector, proving its value. In Mirae-N's elementary digital learning platform 'Choco,' it is used for textbook content creation, and in 'Jokbo.com''s AI learning service 'Puri TIP,' it contributes to increasing learning efficiency by providing voice guidance for problem-solving processes across approximately 10 million questions. Kim Tae-soo, CEO of Neosapience, emphasized the immense possibilities in the education sector, stating, "Voice AI is a powerful AI agent technology that revolutionizes the experiences of learners and consumers." A Dankkumai official also expressed expectations that "AI tutors will strengthen students' sense of connection in non-face-to-face educational environments and maximize individual participation," suggesting that new horizons for learning experiences through AI will open.
