AI + education is the use case I'm most excited about
Some people might not know this about me, but I was homeschooled for high school. So when I see what's happening with AI in education, it hits differently than most tech trends.
The use case that gets me excited
The capability for having individual lesson plans specific to different kids, with a teacher as the intermediary, is going to fit perfectly. People are going to be able to learn and level up so much faster if we direct and think and create agents that are like personalized classroom assistants that directly engage with kids the way they want to be engaged with.
This would have been a game changer for me. As a homeschool kid, you're already doing self-directed learning, but you're limited by whatever curriculum your parents chose and whatever resources they could find. Imagine having an AI tutor that adapts to your learning style in real time, that can explain the same concept six different ways until one clicks, that never gets frustrated, and that can generate practice problems tuned to exactly where you're struggling.
Jesse Genet: 5 OpenClaw agents run my home, finances, and code
Jesse Genet built a team of 5 AI agents, each running on their own Mac Mini, that collectively manage her homeschool curriculum, finances, software development, content creation, and day-to-day operations. She built this without a software background. One of her agents, Sylvie, is a dedicated homeschool curriculum planner that designs personalized lessons and analyzes her kids' learning patterns.
This is happening right now, with today's tools, by a non-technical person. Scale that out five years and the idea of every kid having access to a personalized AI learning companion isn't a fantasy. It's inevitable.
Why I care
I'm not a parent yet, but when I am, this is the world I want my kids learning in. Not "AI replaces teachers," but "AI gives every teacher superpowers and every kid a tutor that meets them exactly where they are." The gap between the best education money can buy and what a public school can offer has always been massive. AI has a real shot at closing that gap, and I think that's one of the most important things technology can do.
