James: "For my first question, I'd like to ask our exchange student from the US" Robert: "...uh, Canada actually" For a guy who's a full-time teacher for a living he really didn't do his homework prior to the pitch, and it shows.
There isnt much demand for this, and Robert saying its based on chatgpt is very, very accurate. The generation, ui are similar with some slightly edited code
@@tubekrake Wrong. youre talking about chatgpt the chatroom but you absolutely can build apps that dont ask human-like questions but instead do specific coded requests and get back specific data without human-like respones or sentences. You absolutely can build apps ontop of chatgpt and there are plenty of them already. Also hes right that the user interface he showed can be put together by a web programmer in seconds. It is very simple on the front-end.
"They should sit in my shoes for a day and see how valuable it can be." Absolute. Wrong. Attitude. This guy believes in his product, but it's not just his pitch that was bad. HE was bad when it comes to a businessman. This is a prime example of an inventor thinking he's an entrepreneur. This product could be great, but he is wildly out of his element in terms of business. I'd recommend he pivot to his strength of being an inventor, & selling this platform to an actual business who can guarantee this enter into schools. He and his partner will make a great profit, & this goes on to benefit teachers (which was where he tried to appeal to emotion with).
Showing up without the tech person and the other 50% owner was ignorant. Not knowing if he had sales to date or not and/or lying about it was ignorant. His valuation is IGNORANT and shows he cares more about profit than helping kids and teachers.
It doesn't "show he cares more about profit...". He's just inexperienced. This is a wake up call. I sold my Startup last year and if anyone had told me I would after my first mess up a decade ago I wouldn't have believed it.
@gabrieloldenburg9184 - 1. now you know "Andrew Tate" is an investor on Shark Tank. 2. no need to ask the "didn't know" routine ... for the rest of your life !!
I don't either. It is supposed to be a software than any teacher could buy? Is it something that he has to sell to individual schools? LIke what's the idea? He doesn't even seem to know. Plus, if you have a school board that agreed to implement it, why not wait until its implemented somewhere with actual teachers using it so you have some sort of proof of concept? This man is rediculous.
My biggest pet peeve in business is when I ask someone a simple question 2, 3, or 4 times and they still don’t give me the answer and instead insult my intelligence and waste my time. Can never work with people like that.
I could not follow how the product works. What subjects are included? What grade levels are included? Does the chatgpt know the content of each subject or does the teacher have to input it themselves? Either way, I feel like teachers create a lesson plan for the school year once, and then reuse it for each cycle.
They must have changed the narrative in post editing. Nobody would ignore all the sharks when starting the presentation. They must have added the comments to make it awkward.
Not really at all, I failed to see how this would be helpful in any way to a teacher. He didn't even bother to explain what it does and people can hardly see what is happening on the screen. I doubt AI can develop a lesson plan that can be tailored toward different subjects with specificity.
@@wombatZedited or not, when he said he's gonna use the money to pay his wage, its a BIG red flag. Especially since theres 0 revenue, and money is needed to launch it.
@@elenaravenwood9851 The pitch looked bad, yes. But I do not believe that it went down like that. They edited the audio to make it seem even worse. No way this is real.
Making a chatgpt wrapper isn't enough. You need to train your model with specific data and fine-tune it with specific instructions so it can perform functionalities the ordinary gpt can't. That's why users will come to your platform and not chatgpt
You don’t have a team, so you need a team, before developing the final product; how do you plan to compete against the major giants, in the space; Microsoft and Google, neither one is easy to go up against, let alone met, you’d be going up against both of them.
You know that this guy went back to his partner and when the partner heard what happened and saw it he was prolly out to. This dude is the marketing person. He's prolly the worst marketing salesman I've seen. 😂
"Yes, we have sales." ... "OK, we don't have any sales." He even sounds like AI. ChatGPT would give me simillar answers when I catch it telling BS. The only difference is this guy didn't "apologize".
what this tells me is that education departments have let teachers down for decades complicating matters and not actually providing reusable topics and resources.
Barbara looks so different at 3:35. Did she change her hair? And why is Mark talking like that at 4:10? And is that Kevin at 4:30? He looks a little different too. What's going on?
James need to be upfront with the pitch. He had no sales. Don't lead the investors the wrong way. It could have been an awesome product however, James need to learn how to present it better.
Where is the data coming from and does it only give teachers questions? If you only give questions then it needs to be very specific to their courses and if it gives answers while having bad data then it becomes useless
"They should sit in my shoes for a day, and see how valuable it can be". Literally learned absolutely nothing, and has no capability to listen and comprehend other people.
How could educating the masses on an automated intelligence be smart for teachers? I think it’s important to keep it up to humans, not the ai regulated by select few humans who adapt their curriculum to what they want. Idk
Hey @hondafannn - 1. no one here knows the answer to the question!! 2. have you contacted the producers of the show to ask ?!? 3. "why" Robert is in Australia is ... None Of Your Business !!
ChatGPT is giving people with no knowledge a crazy amount of confidence. You can tell he didn't learn anything, since at the end, he still places blame on the Sharks for not seeing the value, when he was told a few times it's not about the product, it's his presentation. So much so, Robert shows him how to present, which was 1000x better. The hubris is unreal. hahah
I can’t believe he wanted a shark to pay his salary. Nevermind WAAAY more than any teacher would get anyways. I hope it would at least cover 5 years then.
Hey @wisdomosarenren2659 - re: "I missed Mr wonderful (laughing/crying)" 1. Do you often laugh & cry at the same time?!? 2. Kevin is not on the Australia Shark Tank. 3. Do you miss much in daily life, too ?!?
James saying that the sharks have missed the real value still misses the point and clueless. The sharks did not miss the real value. He failed to present the real value, if there ever was one. He does not blame himself and shifts the blame to others. He would be a real pain to work with.
These ai edtech products that are basically just a UI wrapper over an llm are all doomed. AI in schools is a systems change problem not really a tech problem
