"I would always struggle with taking notes because I just couldn't both listen to the teacher and write at the same time. I just couldn't do it,"
"Every time I tried to take notes, I'd stop paying attention. And when I listened, I couldn't take notes. I was like, what if I could use AI?"
"Students will upload a 30-page lecture and spend two hours going through 75 quiz questions in a row. You don't do that unless it's really working,"
Turbo AI launched in early 2024 by Rudy Arora and Sarthak Dhawan, two 20-year-old college dropouts. The AI-powered study tool grew rapidly to five million users, adding roughly twenty thousand new users daily, and achieved eight-figure annual recurring revenue while remaining profitable. The product records lectures, transcribes and summarizes them, and generates interactive study notes, quizzes, and flashcards with a built-in chat assistant that explains terms and concepts. Early adoption spread across multiple universities through peer sharing. Background-noise challenges led to features for uploading PDFs, lecture files, YouTube videos, and readings, which became the more common use case.
