Quddus Pativada, a 20-year-old UAE resident and college dropout, serves as the CEO of a company that developed ASI, an artificial intelligence-driven tutor. ASI focuses on enhancing homework support and test preparedness for students following the UAE’s national curriculum. Quddus, inspired by the likes of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, founded the company at 17 and raised $3 million in funding. ASI, differentiating itself from other AI tools, is educationally specific, aligning with the national curriculum. The AI tutor, tested in both English and Emirati Arabic dialects, received positive feedback, offering personalized support and adaptive learning. Users appreciate its efficiency and personalization, describing it as a friend in the learning process. The project debuted at the 'UAE AI Tutor Hackathon' during COP 28.
