Launched by two Nigerians, the solution is part of various AI-enabled tools that aim to make education more accessible, interactive, and effective for all.

uLearn is a digital platform developed by the Nigerian startup EqualizAI. It enables users, particularly teachers, to generate lesson plans, notes, and quizzes in English and local languages. The startup, based in Lagos (Nigeria) and Washington, was founded in 2024 by Olubayo Adekanmbi and Ife Adebara.

"uLearn is designed to help teachers with their everyday tasks and workload from planning lesson notes to creating assessments so they can spend more time on what matters most - teaching and engaging their students. We understand that each classroom is as unique as its students. uLearn is your teaching assistant that creates content and resources tailored to your teaching style and the students’ learning needs," the startup explains.

After creating an account, teachers can develop educational content, including videos, interactive quizzes, and written materials, which students can then access to enhance their learning. Notably, uLearn can generate content in African languages, in addition to English.  

Olubayo Adekanmbi said, "Our mission is to ensure that AI speaks our languages, understands our contexts, and addresses our unique challenges. This is not just about technology; it’s about empowerment and inclusion."

The platform also provides personalized tracking through analytical tools, enabling learners to measure progress and identify areas for improvement. The startup's flexible model is designed to accommodate professionals seeking to upskill without geographical or time constraints.

uLearn offers both free and premium subscription plans. The free version provides access to essential features, while the premium plan unlocks the full content library, advanced interactive tools, and personalized recommendations based on user profiles.
