About this episode

Many of the best education tools are built by teachers. Thomas Thompson was teaching middle school social studies when he and a colleague started building Eduaide during the COVID-19 pandemic. Three years later, their small team (including a co-founder who still teaches full-time) has built a tool used by over 800,000 educators.

Most education AI tools today are just a directory of prompts, which have created tab-overload. Teachers generate content in a chat, copy it to Google Docs, edit it, go back to the AI, generate more, copy again. The copy-paste loop.

Eduaide has built a document workspace that unifies all the context about a given lesson. The AI reads your document, understands context, and lets you revise in place. It's the same shift we're seeing in developer tools, from ChatGPT to Claude Code to OpenClaw, applied to education.

I talked with Thomas about his approach to product development, how they use evaluations to ensure that the tools do what they should, and how to apply pedagogy with myriad choices in AI tools. He gives us a sneak peek into where the future of AI education tools is going.
