Pace AI

Our mission is to help 2.3 billion people across the world unlock economic opportunities through English language acquisition and workforce training. We're a team of product leaders, TEFL-certified English teachers, and AI/ML research scientists and engineers—with experience at Microsoft Research, Stanford, Cornell, MIT, and the Paul Allen Institute for AI Research—building Pace AI to fast-track working adult learners onto career pathways and higher education. While mainstream AI tools focus on K-12 standards or assume advanced facility with English, our adult learners are some of the most resilient and talented, yet chronically underserved and overlooked learners anywhere. They are parents, caregivers, multilingual community members, aspiring GED and college graduates, internationally trained professionals, and everyone in between who doesn’t fit the mold of a “traditional learner.” Pace AI is the only AI that truly gets working adult learners and is made just for them. Our AI meets multilingual and lower-literacy adult learners where they are—at their English level and in 250+ languages (including lower-resource languages like Haitian Creole)—helping learners access career pathways, postsecondary education, and high-quality jobs that sustain their families. Our learners are our inspiration and at the heart of everything we do, because we are those learners ourselves and the children of learners just like them.
