In this episode of the Thought Behind Things podcast, I sit down with Ansar Moughis, Founder and CTO of AIDE AI, an EdTech startup that uses advanced LLMs to automatically grade messy, handwritten student exams and provide deep learning analytics.Teachers spend up to 10 hours a week just grading papers. Ansar explains how Aide AI eliminates this redundant work, allowing educators to step back into the role of true mentors. We dive deep into the technical challenges of bypassing traditional OCR for handwritten text, the economics of running an AI SaaS in Pakistan for just Rs. 5 per page, and the harsh reality of students using ChatGPT to cheat. We also discuss Aid AI’s rapid global expansion into Riyadh and Silicon Valley, proving that Pakistani tech founders can build products for the world. If you are interested in the future of EdTech, AI automation, or building a global SaaS, watch this until the end!Timestamps:0:00 Intro and Guest Introduction1:17 Elevator Pitch: Automating Paper Grading for Teachers2:09 Market Size: Teachers and Students in Pakistan3:27 How the Product Works and Handwriting Recognition8:19 Student Practice Platform and Analytics10:30 Pricing and Teacher Costs in Pakistan13:59 Selling to Schools vs Teachers17:27 Staying Sticky: Assessments Focus and Integrations21:23 Analytics, Parent Chatbot and Personalized Testing24:24 AI Cheating and Rethinking Assessments28:21 Accelerators: Antler, Plug and Play and GOAL31:26 Building for Pakistan vs the World33:15 Humans in the Loop: Teachers Will Not Be Replaced35:50 Closing Thoughts on Education as a Long-Term BetInstagram: https://instagram.com/muzamilhasanLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/muzamilhasan</p>
