Chegg, the student-first connected learning platform, has announced the launch of CheggMate, a new AI-enhanced learning service built with OpenAI’s GPT-4. This powerful study companion will leverage Chegg’s personalized learning platform, its proprietary data set, and GPT-4’s advanced problem-solving capabilities to provide a highly effective and accurate learning experience.

Creating Personalized Learning Experiences

CheggMate aims to deliver personalized learning pathways, custom quizzes and tests, contextual support, and guidance for each student’s learning journey. Students can input queries in various formats, such as written text, photos, math problems, or diagrams, and receive step-by-step explanations, clarifications, and deep dives into concepts they struggle with.

Dan Rosensweig, CEO & President of Chegg, Inc., stated that the partnership between Chegg’s proven platform and OpenAI’s cutting-edge technology would create the most powerful study companion for students worldwide. CheggMate will allow students to have an instantaneous, personalized AI conversation supported by Chegg’s reliable content library, exclusively available on Chegg’s platform.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, expressed excitement for the collaboration, emphasizing the potential for AI to improve learning experiences globally.

Balancing AI and Human Expertise

A recent study found that while 77% of Chegg customers were excited about AI chat-based learning support, 85% preferred that it be supported by human expertise. CheggMate aims to strike this balance by integrating AI with Chegg’s student-focused expertise.

Key features of CheggMate include:

  1. Instant conversational AI-guided support for personalized learning and understanding
  2. Instant quizzes to assess knowledge, bridge gaps, and explore complex concepts
  3. Content recommendations in different formats and complexity levels tailored to students’ needs
  4. Continuity of learning interactions, allowing students to pick up where they left off or start anew
  5. Seamless integration with existing Chegg tools

Nina Huntemann, Ph.D., Chief Academic Officer of Chegg Inc., highlighted the incredible opportunity AI offers to support and enhance students’ learning experiences.

Limited early access to CheggMate will become available to students in May 2023, with sign-ups for testing the early version now open. For more information, visit www.chegg.com/cheggmate.
