Every student now has the best math tutor in the world in their inventory. Introducing Agathon reimagined. After a year of hard work, training, building, and tweaking- I finally was able to teach AI to write math, solve and be the best it can be! Here's a demo!

She just found out that she has no school all of next week and she’s sad. They truly mean it when they say kids will prefer going to @Alphaschool than taking vacations.

Last week, I somehow ended up on the phone with Jensen Huang. I cold-called him expecting him not to pick up. He didn’t. Then he called me back. His number came up as anonymous, so I had no idea who I was speaking to. “This is Jensen.” “Jensen Huang?” “Yes.” “From NVIDIA?” “Yes.” I spoke with him for a few minutes, and even in that short conversation, I learned a lot. Still kind of crazy that a random cold call turned into a conversation with the founder and CEO of NVIDIA. @JensenHuang, thank you for calling back and for taking the time to speak with me. @nateliason @alpha_founders @Alphaschool

We spent hours tonight @Alphaschool walking through a day in the life of our kids. The number of parents getting humbled as they tried to solve workshop challenges or complete academic lessons was impressive.

The Alpha dashboard was mind blowing during our daughter’s recent alpha summer week. Truly the best ed tech backend tracking system I have ever come across. Easy, intuitive and crystal clear for tracking progress. A+++++

I’m an @AlphaSchoolATX parent. Earlier this year, my son was actually upset because a snow day meant he couldn’t go to school. I had to ask @jliemandt, "What have you done to him?" That question opened up a much bigger one. Austin’s experimental schools are pulling in families from across the country, and that talent gravity is reshaping the city’s innovation ecosystem faster than any corporate relocation. Joe built Trilogy and recruited 2,000 Ivy League kids to Austin in the ’90s. Now at Alpha, he sees this as the higher-leverage version of the same play. 30% of some campuses are families who moved here for schools that do not exist anywhere else. This one hits close to home for me. Both because I’m a parent inside the experiment and because it hints at something bigger happening in Austin.

Just moved my daughter to Alpha School. Personalized AI-driven academics delivered in 2 hours per day, leaving the rest of the afternoon for life skills. We’re a few weeks in and she’s already a different kid.
