I trained a model to do perspective correction and now I've got an automated visually coherent AI tutor working from a propped up iPhone. Would love to discuss if anyone has questions! Previous iterations of this were purely on MacOS.

A visually grounded AI tutoring application: https://knowable.ca Been working full-time on it for a few months, I'm trying to make the concept of an AI tutor better than just a chatbox.

I think we just haven’t spent enough time creating the systems to help people learn faster - so far, only the systems that teach AI to know more and for people to rely on AI to retrieve information.
