"The co-founders who sold their last startup Anchor to Spotify are launching their next project: Oboe, an AI-powered educational app that enables anyone to create lightweight, flexible learning courses on nearly any topic they choose, simply by entering a prompt. These courses can span a variety of verticals, including topics like science, history, foreign language, news, pop culture, preparing for life changes, and more."
"For those who want to learn on the go, Oboe offers two audio formats. One feels more like listening to a university-style lecture, while the other is akin to Google's podcast-like Notebook LM, as it features two hosts talking in depth about the topic. "The real magic here comes from an internal architecture that we've built that I would describe as a complex, multi-agent architecture that we built from scratch, each part of which is orchestrated to run in parallel as we generate a course," Zicherman says."
Oboe enables users to generate lightweight, flexible learning courses across diverse verticals by entering a prompt. The platform launches with nine course formats, including text, visuals, audio, games, and interactive tests, and supports two audio modes: a university-style lecture and a two-host conversational podcast-like format. Learning does not require back-and-forth chatbot interaction. Founders Nir Zicherman and Michael Mignano founded the company after leaving Spotify, drawing inspiration from work scaling audiobooks. A custom, complex multi-agent architecture orchestrates parallel processes to produce personalized, high-quality courses extremely quickly.
