Researcher and founder, 48, holds a PhD in Economics and conducted research at MIT. François has created two successful companies (www.lelivrescolaire.fr, www.gutenberg-technology.com) in the fields of e-learning.
Our Research partnership with the CNRS
Located at the renowned Ecole Polytechnique (Paris, France) next to the new “Hi! Paris” AI research center, our technical team collaborates with the CNRS/LIMSI laboratory, one of the most advanced research teams in knowledge AI & virtual assistant for lifelong learning from the CNRS Saclay.

The CNRS LIMSI laboratory we are partnering with includes around 200 researchers, of which 70 specialized in Language Modeling & NLP. The CNRS LIMSI helps us constantly explore the benefits of the new state-of-the-art technologies as well as protect our intellectual property with patents (in collaboration with the Saclay SATT).
Who is ProfessorBob.ai & its incredibly efficient technology


Before deploying Professor Bob to the end users, he intensively learns about the concerned knowledge domain. He learns from a staggering amount of knowledge sources, starting from our customer’s knowledge contents, but also adding specialized books and online trusted sources.
Professor Bob formalizes knowledge as questions & answers (Q&A) and for that purpose:
- automatically generates thousands of questions thanks to innovative algorithms,
- builds from its knowledge sources several answers for each,
- scores the relevance of the Q&A pairs on various NLP metrics ;
For instance, Professor Bob generates 30,000 questions on a knowledge domain, identifies 4 answers for each question & scores these 120,000 Q&A pairs. Then Bob extracts the best 3000 pairs.
What ProfessorBob.ai is
This workflow to train ProfessorBob on a new knowledge domain involves a mix of our proprietary Machine Learning algorithms, optimized & pre-trained NLP language models and smart interfaces to fine-tune the workflow for the domain and validate the Q&A pairs.

At the end of this training process, Bob comes as a web_browser extension or can be integrated in your solution as an iFrame. Optionally, some APIs can collect learner analytics and personalize learning paths to each student.
