Collage’s Post

Learn how our CTO Zichen Zhang developed our AI advisor and what Collage means to him below! “As the CTO of Collage, my role allows me to explore technologies that directly benefit college students, particularly those who feel marginalized or overwhelmed by the academic planning process. Working on the AI Advisor and server at Collage means not only utilizing the latest works in the research community of LLM agents but also creating solutions that can meaningfully impact students’ educational journeys. What excites me most about Collage is our ability to humanize technology and democratize education. While many big tech companies and Silicon Valley startups focus on training models to compete on various benchmarks, we are using LLM agents to create deeper connections—between students, their educational paths, and their peers. With the latest open-source frameworks, including LlamaIndex and LangChain, our platform goes beyond a basic chatbot, offering personalized advice that feels almost as intuitive as consulting with a real academic advisor, especially for those worldwide who can not afford private tutoring or advising services. I hope that Collage, a startup and a mission crafted by students, for students, can be an example for the world that instead of replacing jobs, AI technologies can be an enhancement to people’s lives.” #edtech #AI #Collage #startups
