Case Study: Knowt builds online education app on AWS to help students and teachers

Fast-growing educational technology startup Knowt developed an app in to change the way students and teachers study and create assessments. Using a powerful algorithm and artificial intelligence, the app quickly and automatically converts notes from students and teachers into quizzes and flash cards.

However, the startup eventually noticed an area in need of improvement. It found that many users didn’t just want to create their own notes and flash cards; they also wanted to study from materials that others had already created. To better serve these users, Knowt began a major shift toward crowdsourcing notes and sharing study materials. The company decided to go all in on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
