What if AI could teach kids? We’re getting there, thanks to Ello.
Everyone's asking what AI can do for their job. We asked if it could teach a 6-year-old. Introducing Ello 2.0: reading, math & more for ages 4-9. Free tier for all. If we want AI to force-multiply humanity, let's start with teaching our youngest.

Excited for the upcoming @MagnetSchls conference. Magnet schools show how districts can compete by offering families distinctive, mission-driven options. Pair that with a streamlined enrollment experience powered by @AvelaEducation, and districts can truly thrive. #MagnetSchools
Come meet the Avela team at the @MagnetSchlsMSA conference! We’d love to learn more about your magnet programs and share how we help districts streamline school discovery, applications, lotteries, and registration. Meet with us at MSA: hubs.ly/Q049LSK80 #MagnetSchools

I've spent my career partnering with academics to put impactful research into practice w/ tech, @AvelaEducation is no exception, so I'm really excited about the International School Choice & Reform Conference (#ISCRC)'s cross-sector convening. The ocean views don't hurt, either.

Any law firm out there want to help with a class action lawsuit against @gotremendous for illegal service fees on gift cards (violating California Civil Code Section 1749.5). I bet millions of dollars stolen from California residents with their monthly "inactivity fees."
