Luna AI and Learning Pilot
HOUR ONE
WHAT WOULD YOU LEARN IF YOU COULD JUST PICK UP THE PHONE?
A CONVERSATION WITH DEREK FINE, FOUNDER OF LUNA AI
What if learning something new were as simple as picking up the telephone?
No complicated software to navigate. No screen to study. Just your voice, your curiosity, and an artificial intelligence tutor ready to help you explore something new.
Sunday Edition welcomes Derek Fine, founder of Luna AI, for a conversation about artificial intelligence, education, accessibility, and the possibilities that emerge when technology begins meeting people where they are.
Derek studied marketing and economics at the University of San Diego, but his journey into developing Luna AI began with a deceptively simple question.
Why can’t you learn with just your voice?
That question helped shape Luna AI, a conversational learning platform developed with blind and low vision learners in mind, but designed to serve anyone who wants a more natural, flexible way to learn.
Today, Luna AI has been accessed in more than 115 countries and supports learning in over 90 languages.
And the concept is refreshingly straightforward.
Pick up the phone and start learning.
Want to practice Spanish before your next vacation? Prepare for a college examination? Understand a complicated subject? Explore a new hobby? Or revisit something you’ve always wanted to learn but never quite found the time to pursue?
Luna can explain concepts, ask questions, help you practice, and quiz you using study materials you’ve added to your account. It can also personalize the experience, adapt to your level, and remember where you left off.
But what makes Luna different from the artificial intelligence tools many of us are already using?
And what happens when we move beyond simply asking AI questions and begin developing an ongoing learning relationship?
Anthony and Derek explore those questions and more. They discuss the origins of Luna AI, the lessons Derek learned from developing technology with blind and low vision learners in mind, and how voice-first learning might benefit students, professionals, lifelong learners, and people who have never considered using artificial intelligence before.
They also examine the possibilities and limitations of AI-assisted education, the importance of meaningful user feedback, and Derek’s vision of education without borders.
AN EXCLUSIVE SUNDAY EDITION AND LUNA AI LEARNING PILOT
And we’re doing more than talking about the technology.
Sunday Edition with Anthony Corona and Luna AI are joining forces for an exclusive three-month learning and testing program.
We’re looking for ten curious people who want to explore what happens when artificial intelligence becomes part of their everyday learning experience.
Each selected participant will receive eight complimentary hours of Luna AI learning time per month for three months, totaling 24 hours of learning.
Participants will also receive an accessible quick-start guide and individual onboarding assistance as needed.
We’re inviting college students, hobbyists, people developing professional skills, lifelong learners, and anyone interested in discovering something new.
Blind and low vision participants are especially encouraged to apply, but the opportunity is open to learners with a wide variety of backgrounds, interests, and experiences.
You don’t need to be an AI expert. In fact, we’d love to hear from people who have never used artificial intelligence before.
We’re looking for ten people with ten different reasons to learn.
Participants will be asked to use Luna approximately twice a week and complete one feedback check-in each month.
We want to understand what works, what doesn’t, what makes learning enjoyable, and what might make someone want to return for another session.
Because this isn’t simply about demonstrating what artificial intelligence can do. It’s about discovering what happens when real people use it to pursue real interests, challenges, and goals.
HOW TO APPLY
Interested in joining the Sunday Edition and Luna AI Learning Pilot?
Email sundayeditionac@gmail.com with the subject line: Luna Learning Pilot
Tell us a little about what you’d like to learn, your experience or comfort level with artificial intelligence, and whether you can commit to using Luna approximately twice a week over three months.
You’re also welcome to share any accessibility needs or other considerations that would help you participate.
We’ll select ten participants representing a range of learning goals, backgrounds, and experience levels, then follow up with details about the program’s start date and next steps.
