We’re always interested in the ways our customers build Leonardo.Ai’s tools into their online services.

In this customer story, we’ll look at how eSpark Learning used Leonardo’s API to provide personalized learning experiences to over one million students on their platform.

About eSpark Learning:

eSpark Learning provides a supplemental math and reading curriculum to elementary school students across America.

Their adaptive platform tailors online learning to each child through a process they call “full-spectrum personalization.” Students receive custom content and activities based on their proficiency levels, interests, and responses.

The Challenge:

eSpark’s unique approach to online learning demands a deep level of customization and text-only experiences weren’t capturing student’s imaginations. eSpark needed to bring their content to life through personalized imagery specific to each learner.

Manually creating custom visuals weren’t scalable, while existing image generation APIs lacked the consistency and control needed for their young audience.

eSpark needed an enterprise-grade solution to keep up with the demands of their rapidly growing student user base.

The Solution:

After scoping different providers, eSpark selected Leonardo for its ability to produce high-quality, targeted imagery on demand. 

By integrating our models into their workflow, eSpark creates custom visual content in real-time, tailored to the unique stories and math problems of each student.

For example, students are able to describe key narrative elements like characters and settings in a creative writing exercise. eSpark then prompts Leonardo’s API to illustrate these details, blending them into a hero image for the child’s story.

These AI-powered graphics make the learner’s experience more engaging and memorable.

Quote from a product designer at eSpark Learning about the benefits of Leonardo.Ai

Conclusion:

Early testing shows that Leonardo’s imagery substantially boosted engagement. Students who used Leonado-generated visuals authored 32% more stories, shared their stories twice as often with their peers, and mastered more learning standards compared to those without AI visuals.

Leonardo enabled the eSpark team to close the gap between their gold star vision for personalized learning and its reality.

“We knew kids were excited to create and read their own stories, but being able to visualize the students’ ideas on the spot with Leonardo’s images made the whole experience much more compelling, unique and memorable.”

– Thom Van Der Doef, Lead Product Designer

Our production-ready API provided the consistency needed to give over one million young minds an engaging, personalized experience only possible through Leonardo.Ai.
