Turbo AI, formerly TurboLearn AI, has relaunched as a leading collaborative AI notetaking platform, empowering students and professionals worldwide to transform lectures, PDFs, and meetings into editable notes, flashcards, and study guides.

  • Co-founders Sarthak Dhawan (UMax scaler) and Rudy Arora (TED speaker, marketer) from Frisco, TX.

Tackling Information Overload with Human-Centric AI

In classrooms and boardrooms, capturing and processing information manually leads to overload, while full AI automation risks outsourcing critical thinking. Turbo AI strikes a balance: AI organizes content, but users retain control to edit, question, and connect ideas actively. "Right now, people are stuck choosing between AI that completely takes over their work or traditional methods that leave them doing everything manually," said Sarthak Dhawan, Co-Founder of Turbo AI. "We found the sweet spot in between both. Turbo AI handles the organizational heavy lifting while you focus on the thinking, learning, and insights that actually matter. You're always in control of your own learning process."

Core Capabilities for Engagement

Turbo AI redefines workflows:

  • Input Flexibility: Start from scratch, uploads, recordings, or links; generate or refine content.
  • Collaboration: Live editing with AI suggestions that enhance without dominating.
  • Interactive Tools: Query for clarifications, generate adaptive quizzes/summaries/podcasts.
  • Customization: Tailor outputs to learning styles or professional needs.

"We're not trying to automate people out of the equation, we're trying to keep them in it," said Rudy Arora, Co-Founder of Turbo AI. "Human curiosity and original thinking can't be replaced. Turbo AI clears away the busywork so those uniquely human skills can shine through. We're proud to empower students and professionals with a tool that allows them to leverage the best of today's technology while simultaneously helping them improve their skills."

Mission-Driven Growth

From high school app WorkBee ($60K revenue) to UMax (15M users), Dhawan and Arora's entrepreneurial path led to Turbo AI's 5M+ adoption. The relaunch targets global accessibility across web, mobile, and tablets (desktop app soon), with premium unlocking advanced features. The Future of Learning Scholarship rewards AI-enhanced education.

Turbo AI's relaunch positions it as the go-to tool for responsible AI in learning, blending efficiency with human insight for superior retention and outcomes.
