Pioneering Education With AI-Driven EdTech Firm Amesite (NASDAQ: AMST): Insights From CEO Dr. Ann Marie Sastry

Benzinga

By James Blacker Amesite Inc (NASDAQ: AMST) CEO Dr. Ann Marie Sastry spoke with Benzinga recently about the company’s mission and the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. Below, we take a look at the key insights gathered from the interview, including Amesite’s unique approach and vision for the future. What Is Amesite? Amesite is an AI software company dedicated to building platforms and apps that facilitate learning. Their focus ranges from colleges and universities to individual consumers, with an emphasis on accessibility and effectiveness in education. What Sets Amesite Apart From Its Competitors? Other names in the space include Coursera Inc (NYSE: COUR), 2U Inc (NASDAQ: TWOU) and Udemy Inc (NASDAQ: UDMY). According to Dr. Sastry, Amesite gets its competitive edge from the use of AI coupled with a student-centric approach. The company aims to provide not just content but also the tools necessary for success. This is especially true for professional learning, Dr. Sastry noted, which is a lifelong endeavor and has a big impact on financial security and career growth. Amesite’s approach appears to be paying off, as in February the company reported an overall retention rate of 98% for paid learning experiences on its platform, far exceeding the industry average of 68-73%. Why Is Amesite Focused On Education? Continuous upskilling is essential in the world of work. Most of what people do on a daily basis is learned after formal education. The CEO highlighted the pitfalls of traditional learning management systems, which are mainly content repositories and lack a well-designed user experience. Course aggregators, meanwhile, offer courses on everything, making it difficult for consumers to pick out exactly what they need. Amesite, therefore, sees its partnership model with colleges and universities as an ideal way to curate relevant content and tools, addressing the diverse learning needs of individuals and ensuring localized, impactful education solutions. What Does Amesite Foresee Will Be The Next Evolution Of AI In This Space? Amesite invested early in AI and was discussing the technology even back when the company was founded in 2018, shared Dr. Sastry. In April, the company announced the beta release of its new NurseMagic TM app, which uses AI to provide helpful and easy-to-use tools for over 5.2 million nurses. Dr. Sastry sees this strategic shift towards mobile apps as a way to provide people with faster access to AI-powered learning tools. “Surf the AI wave. Make sure you have access to those tools so you can be competitive. That’s something we’re extremely excited about,” she said. Key Targets And Goals For The Company Amesite recently moved to a no-fee model for its higher ed platform, where customers pay monthly per user instead of paying set-up fees. Since then, the company has announced several five-year deals with colleges and universities. It most recently partnered with Volunteer State Community College and Joliet Junior College in March. These partnerships enable tailored learning experiences, addressing regional needs and industry demands. Dr. Sastry highlighted implicit bias training and active shooter preparedness as programs that Amesite now makes available nationwide, as this is a work requirement for many. In March, the company also announced a partnership with Partners for Advancing Clinical Education (PACE) to deliver accredited healthcare education. What's Behind Your Recent Momentum With Five Contract Wins With Various Colleges? Dr. Sastry attributes Amesite’s success to a tailored approach that caters to each institution's unique needs, especially when it comes to aligning with regional requirements and legislative shifts. “By working directly with colleges and universities and generating sustainable revenue, we can actually give the people what they want,” she said. “With our 98% retention, we are a very strong argument for colleges and universities to use the Amesite system, generate impact, and meet the needs that are required from legislators and assemblies.” Watch the full interview here.

Flash Wins California Energy Commission $5.8M Grant for EV Charger ‘Innovation Lab’ in Oakland

Flash Parking

The California Energy Commission (CEC) and Flash, a pioneer in parking + charging solutions, today announced Flash secured a $5.8 million grant from CEC for a large-scale electric vehicle (EV) charger demonstration project in Oakland, California. The first-of-its-kind project will deploy at least 446 low-cost Level 2 EV chargers over a two-year period in convenient, high-density, high-visibility installations in a 1.5-mile area around downtown Oakland. With $24 million in funding from California’s Clean Transportation Program, the CEC grant to Flash and other awardees aims to demonstrate replicable and scalable business and technology models to deploy Level 2 charging infrastructure and improve public awareness of and confidence in Level 2 charging access. The project will also include installation of two Battery Energy Storage Systems that will help safeguard EV charger affordability during periods of peak energy demand. “Bay Area residents’ early commitment to the EV transition uniquely positions this community to serve as an ‘Innovation Lab’ for electrification projects in California and nationwide,” said Matt McCaffree, Vice President of Utility Market Development for Flash. “This collaboration with CEC will not only show what’s possible in high-density smart cities like Oakland but also keep the charging gap for early adopters from becoming a confidence gap for the next wave.” Bay Area EV adoption continues to outpace the national average by a factor of three. By installing reliable, affordable, and convenient public chargers, Flash and the CEC aim to close the charging gap and encourage further EV adoption—particularly among downtown residents, for whom dependable public charging is a prerequisite for ownership in lieu of at-home chargers. The success of the project would establish quality public charging as a standard among the practical, convenient, and environmentally-friendly “smart cities” of the future. “For residents living in downtown areas where at-home charging isn't an option, reliable and convenient public charging is key for continued EV adoption,” said CEC’s Lead Commissioner for Transportation Patty Monahan. “The CEC is looking forward to Flash's deployment of hundreds of Level 2 chargers throughout downtown Oakland to be a model of successful public charging.” The project will also generate invaluable data regarding battery capacities, operating costs, replicable price points, and emergency procedures, as well as insights toward stimulating demand and increasing return on investment. This information can then be used to expand and improve upon the Oakland deployment and inform electrification efforts throughout California and beyond. About Flash Flash is a pioneering technology company bringing seamless parking and EV charging experiences to drivers through a first-of-its-kind digital ecosystem. Flash’s platform connects reservable parking and charging in the apps drivers use every day with garage, surface lot, event, and valet parking locations — connected and controlled via a cloud-based operating system with unrivaled intelligence. Customer-obsessed brands partner with Flash to deliver digital, easy-to-use, reliable, and increasingly frictionless experiences to drivers eager to pay for a solution that eliminates wasted time, excess emissions, and stress from driving. The solution has arrived. Visit www.flashparking.com to learn more. Contact Details Flash Ray Young +1 512-694-6097 ray@razorsharppr.com Company Website https://www.flashparking.com/
