[00:00:00] Speaker 1: I'm Dr. Lance Ford, and I want to show you what AI in education actually looks like in practice, from two different angles. First, the student. What you're seeing here is an agentic chat experience built on a live, growing knowledge base. Every class session, every transcript, every summary, flowing automatically via a Zoom workflow into a shared folder. But here's what makes the student experience different. This Zoom Mate Tutor never gives the student an answer. It asks Socratic follow-up questions, drawing directly from what was taught, all the while guiding each student to construct understanding on their own terms. This is mass scale individualization of course material, and is pulled directly from the live class content.

Arow Summary
Dr. Lance Ford demonstrates an AI-in-education approach through the student perspective. A Zoom-based workflow automatically moves each class session’s transcripts and summaries into a growing shared knowledge base. The resulting Zoom Mate Tutor uses that live course material to guide students with Socratic follow-up questions rather than providing direct answers, helping them build their own understanding at scale.
