Historic Mentor has announced its official launch today, offering users a chance to interact with artificial intelligence (AI -powered, personalized versions of history’s most influential figures.
The Historic Mentor Dashboard, featuring the user's unlocked mentors, meeting summaries, profile, usage data, and more.
Aiming to bring the wisdom of history’s greatest minds into the digital age, Historic Mentor uses AI-powered mentorship to offer a personalized learning experience that it says will help users in their everyday lives.
Historic Mentor offers conversations with notable figures from history including Marcus Aurelius, Socrates, Confucius, Friedrich Nietzsche, Lao Tzu, Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin and Sun Tzu.
The platform claims to offer a unique and immersive experience to its users, allowing them to interact with historical figures in a way not seen before.
During the sessions, users can have live conversations with the figures, asking questions and receiving tailored insights. Each figure will make reference to the user’s profile and recall previous conversations with them, giving a personalized experience.
The platform is now open for waitlist sign-ups, with exclusive early access offered to its first 1,000 members, who will also receive special features. Audio conversations will launch first, followed by video.
A trailer for the service promises the service is “not a gimmick, not a chatbot,” but offers “one-on-one live conversations” tailored to the user’s life. It adds: “History is calling, will you answer?”
The news follows shortly after PowerSchool launched a new AI-powered coaching and mentoring platform for K-12 educators, offering coaching insights and personalized mentoring experiences to help improve teacher growth and retention.
