TAL is investing heavily in Artificial Intelligence in a bid to bolster its modern learning products and services.

Just recently, it launched what it called the “Genius Tutor,” an AI-powered system that transforms learning into an interactive and engaging experience.

The GeniusTutor was built on the Microsoft Azure OpenAI GPT-4o model, which provides real-time guidance and feedback.

It also aims to empower students to conquer complex math problems through logic-driven, step-by-step explanations, master writing with interactive prompts and instant feedback that build confidence and creativity, and enhance vocabulary and reading skills with innovative tools like “Point-and-Discover.”

Overall, TAL ranks 1st on our list of Chinese stocks that performed worst on Monday.
