TAO.ai

As technology is undergoing its S-curve disruption and seeing rapid and sudden changes, it has become increasingly difficulty to keep people at the best of knowledge to help them stay trained and employed. This massive retooling / reeducation challenge needs to revisited. TAO.ai uses Tao's principles of created a unison of networking, content and on-job tasks, create an effective retooling platform that is powered by crowd collaboration and collective learning. Being an AI, TAO.ai is easily scalable and help not only define best practices as per individual needs but create knowledge clusters to maximize the learning with minimum effort.

Rapid s-curve technology disruption and rise of automation is threatening several jobs. Our limited ability to ingest content as solo source of learning is also showing shrinking shelf life and relevance. This increasing technological changes, slow content preparation / ingestion for training is create an ever increasing gap in what we know and how fast we should know to stay relevant. This problem is tackled by several solution provider by providing lots of content available and increasing reliance of humanity to ingest the content to stay relevant. But our limitation to learning different things and frequency or changes has done limited help. Many conversation has sparked this anxiety of inability by current means and infrastructure to solve citizen's re-tooling crises. TAO.ai wants to address this gap by using our patent pending technology that uses AI to address this challenge.

TAO.ai is serving the community of 170k data science professionals and already expanding into several tangential verticals. TAO.ai is also working with its several enterprise partners to help train itself to better serve employed workforce as well. TAO.ai has also been in conversation with several government bodies on its value to serve global citizens in crowd collaborate and connect to learn faster and stay at the cutting edge of evolution to stay employed.

Using our proprietary framework, TAO.ai uses the crowd-collaboration and crowd-learning platform that uses skill-DNA portfolio to understand workers, their affiliations with the skill and their interaction with it. TAO.ai then uses this knowledge and map it against our World's largest skill portfolio data bank and find its subscribers, right content, mentor/mentee, buddies and many other complimentary capabilities that have helped professionals with similar skill-DNA portfolio. TAO.ai also gets smarter and more targeted to its users as they use TAO.ai in their career development. TAO.ai using its crows learning platform also warns its subscribers about the skills that are showing downtick or uptick in popularity and relevance to save its subscriber from obsolete skills and quickly and smoothly keep them transformed to at least one core and in-demand skill. Since TAO.ai has created an AI, its extremely scalable, adaptable and personalized.

Our very name: TAO, promotes that iInnovative TAO'ian approach to solve re-training / re-tooling challenges. We have reviewed several re-training / re-tooling solutions available in the market and understood human / industrial psychology to marry them and created a solution that is more eco-friendly, swift, more adjusted to new age of technology integrated reality. We also integrated the very aspect of true learning(some mix of on-job, mentor/mentee and formal training).

Our approach to solve re-training/re-tooling using crowd-collaborative, crowd-sourced and community based AI method makes us unique and impactful.

Crowd-learning, Crowd-Collaboration, tagging and machine learning collectively work to create an effective Skill-DNA portfolio that AI uses to understand its subscriber and also ways that candidates / candidate mirror profiles has shows success in keeping themselves updated. This knowledge is then used to ensure everyone is using the best possible method to stay relevant and away from obsolete skills and more towards skills that keep generating more value to its users. Our global TAO.ai online community use the platform to find jobs, get mentor/mentee, get buddies, get access to content to help grow their submitted skills. TAO uses the interactions to gauge the popularity of any skill and correlate with candidate cluster to create insights on relevant skills, matching/complimentary skills etc. TAO will then use the gained real-time insights and feed it back to individual candidates making them aware about their skill portfolio, share any gained insights on the skill/(s) from their skill portfolio and keep providing best practices, gained insights and true learning ecosystem to help subscribers. Our 170k global subscriber base(and growing) help us create one of the World's largest and rapidly growing skills data base and skills cluster that could play a key role in re-training/re-learning crises.

TAO.ai uses the power of collaborative knowledge to empower its workers. When technology workers would need to change 50% of their portfolio of learnings in 2 years and every technology undergoing average 8 revisions, the content that is needed to keep the community trained is showing shrinking shelf life. So, TAO.ai uses everything that has worked in making skill adoption fast and relevant and map it to its skill-DNA portfolio. This ability has already shown tremendous impact in helping many of its subscribers quickly learn a skill. People are connected to right help / ecosystem. Our rapid adoption and insights gained from our engaged community and seeing their skills grow, we have strong confidence that TAO.ai could play key role in solving re-skilling crises.

Our public platform makes entire funding from recruiting subscription. While TAO.ai public platform help 170k find their next job, it works as a primary learning engine to help TAO.ai understand current trends, methodologies and metric that are relevant for personal growth.

Our enterprise version is being sold on per-seat basis. We are helping our enterprise partner to empower their workers with right ecosystem that they need to succeed. We are also helping organizations understand how their learning and development content is making any impact. This is resulting in targeted investing by our enterprise partners.

Economy of scale. Our low cost platform, high impact knowledge bank and rapid value generating engine would help TAO.ai grow sustainably.

Exposure, endorsement and awareness to help with our recruiting, sales and fundraising. TAO.ai is onto a bold mission of solving re-training/re-skilling crises and we have been blessed with a great community that is working tirelessly to train TAO.ai so TAO could train back. Our mission lacks social endorsements, access to other funding/partnership sources that Solve could easily expose us into. Exploring social endorsement avenues, we get access to Solve's thriving support community, partners and media exposure to extend our mission to areas we do not access to.

We are eager to collaborate with:

Content providers: to help them understand how their content fair with which skill portfolio

Service provider: to help consulting / service companies ensure their talent pool is well connected and always towards the value generating side of the business

HR vendors: To help get us more enterprise adoption

We are trying something unique. Increasing AI has been associated with technology causing job-loss, we want to use the opportunity and our approach to bring trust in AI to help humanity.
