I built Ivy because, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the 'Internet Tax' is real. Most AI tutors are reactive - they wait for you. Ivy is proactive; she actually initiates outbound voice calls to check on you if you miss a session. Key Technical Specs: IIAL Engine: Quizzes and flashcards render as interactive widgets inside the chat (no menus). Edge-Inference: Runs 100% offline on a $120 smarttested in Airplane Mode). The Goal: Providing high-fidelity tutoring to the 35M students in Ethiopia who face frequent connectivity blackouts. I’m currently a Top 300 finalist in the AWS Global AI Challenge.
