AI Video Designer

We are a fast-growing edtech company on a mission to make the world’s first AI tutor, giving every child an unfair advantage.

Our product is a new kind of learning app for children ages 4–8. Children are guided by a friendly AI character to learn in a delightful, highly personalized way across multiple subjects via voice interaction.

• Edit and assemble AI-generated content into polished final videos
• Design scalable interactions using the skillset our AI agent has available. 
• You will be given lesson objectives and a lesson outline. You will create engaging images and short videos according to the requirements. See example here.

About Ello

Ello is a public benefit corporation on a mission to maximize the potential of all children. We’re currently around 45 people, headquartered in San Francisco, with offices in São Paulo, Brazil; Nairobi, Kenya; and New York.

Our team has deep expertise in artificial intelligence, K-12 education, and child development across institutions such as Stanford, Berkeley, Google, Apple, and more. We were part of Y Combinator’s W20 batch and are funded by world-class investors, including Goodwater Capital, Homebrew, Reed Hastings, Common Sense Growth, Ravensburger, Project A Ventures, Reach Capital, Khosla Ventures, WndrCo, Visible Ventures, and K9 Ventures.

We feel enormously privileged to be one of the few companies with the opportunity to take a shot at truly revolutionizing education with AI at this inflection point in technology. We don’t take it for granted, so we work urgently to turn that vision into reality. We want to create an environment where we can all be our best selves, use our strengths to take Ello forward, and develop our skills. We want to have fun while working hard to do impactful things we’re proud of – and we believe it’s possible to do both.
