MasterClass from any legend for any topic featuring Paul Graham, Elon Musk, Terence Tao, Andrej Karpathy, Morgan Housel, Bill Ackman and Marc Andreessen. Watch them share their screens and give you lectures on the topics of your choice.
I'm Arman. Excited to launch nFactorial AI - MasterClass from any legend for any topic aka Zoom calls with the world’s greatest minds as your personal AI tutors.
Big vision We set out to build the world’s biggest catalog of 100,000+ world-class masters (from Bruce Lee to Naval Ravikant) from every industry and every geography/language as your personal video-first AI tutors.
Key insight
At the moment, in many fields AI is worse than the top 1% of humans. Terence Tao is better than AI in math, Warren Buffett is better in investing, Scott Aaronson is better in computational complexity. The Lee Sedol moment did not yet happen in these fields. By embedding the thoughts of the top 1% of humans into its context, AI generates higher-quality output.
Current version We’re launching with 7 personal heroes of mine: Paul Graham teaching startups, Elon Musk teaching physics and first-principle thinking, Terence Tao teaching math, Andrej Karpathy teaching AI, Morgan Housel teaching personal money management, Bill Ackman teaching investing, Marc Andreessen teaching venture capital and personal productivity.
How to use the app? 1) Start a Zoom call with a legend. 2) Listen to their 5-min lecture with slides. 3) Ask them questions. 4) Ask to create a new lecture on any topic of your choice.
Product-founder fit A lot of my friends make fun of me for being overly fascinated with learning from the GOATs. In 2004, I built the biggest Bruce Lee website on the Russian Internet. In 2010-2014 as well as 2023-2024, I recorded 150+ 3-hour long podcasts with world-class founders, scientists and engineers. In 2013, I published 966 posters on Instagram with my favorite quotes from the world’s top performers. In 2014, we built an iOS habit tracking app where users could follow daily rituals of the world’s most effective people. In 2016, 1 year before Cameo, we launched a mobile marketplace for fans to get video greetings from their favorite celebrities.
It’s time to turn this lifelong fascination into a product useful for a billion people.
What’s new about what we built? - Live video call: screenshares by legends, see them “teach” with slides. - Create a video lecture on any topic. Preferably within the teacher’s domain expertise for better lecture quality. - Persona-grounded tutoring: each AI mentor is grounded in their public writing, talks, and known viewpoints, so PG sounds like PG, Karpathy reasons like Karpathy, etc. - We mimic not just the legends’ voice, mannerisms, facial expressions and vocabulary, but also their way of thinking. Reasoning based on their public writings: 3800+ posts, essays, books, interviews and blogs.

I recently tried nFactorial AI, and I was impressed. It features AI-powered versions of legendary minds who deliver focused, 5-minute presentations on their areas of expertise. It’s a fantastic tool for self-education and personal growth — you can quickly grasp key insights from some of the world’s best thinkers.
What I especially liked is that after the presentation, you can continue the conversation by chatting with the AI tutor about the topic or even generate a brand-new presentation on demand. It’s engaging, efficient, and makes high-quality learning accessible anytime. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn faster and smarter.
Question: Is Elon Musk also teaching bigotry and election stealing techniques? Asking for a friend.
you are the best of the best @suleimenov fantastic achievement!
As someone obsessed with learning from the best, this could seriously accelerate my growth. How do you ensure each AI mentor truly captures the legend’s unique thinking?
nFactorial AI is truly impressive! The ability to have live video calls with AI versions of legends like Paul Graham and Elon Musk offers an immersive and authentic learning experience.
We’ve translated the intro video into Hindi and shared it on Twitter to help more users discover this amazing platform. Watch the Hindi video here. If you want to reach a wider audience in more languages, try BlipCut — it makes translating and localizing super easy!
Looking forward to seeing how this evolves.
Congratulations on the launch.
nFactorial AI is a significant innovation in personal education, effectively integrating AI to facilitate interactive learning with renowned experts. This concept has the potential to revolutionize the field of education, and I'm interested in observing its development.
Incredible launch, Arman and team! The idea of Zoom-style AI sessions with legends like Paul Graham, Terence Tao, or Andrej Karpathy—complete with screen shares, slides, and Q&A—is simply brilliant. A deeply creative twist on personalized learning that blends influence, visual teaching, and A
