Turbo AI—formerly TurboLearn AI—has relaunched with a focus on collaborative, human-centered AI notetaking for students and professionals. The platform transforms lectures, PDFs, and meeting recordings into organized notes, flashcards, and study guides, all editable and shareable to suit individual learning styles.
In classrooms and boardrooms alike, people struggle to simultaneously listen, comprehend, and document information effectively. Turbo AI addresses this challenge by automating organizational tasks without replacing critical thinking or engagement. Research has highlighted that over-reliance on AI can diminish cognitive skills; Turbo AI aims to strike a balance by keeping humans in control.
Founders With a Track Record
Co-founders Sarthak Dhawan and Rudy Arora, childhood friends from Frisco, Texas, have a history of entrepreneurial success. Their first venture, WorkBee, earned $60,000 in high school. Later, Dhawan scaled UMax to 15 million users, while Arora honed marketing skills and delivered influential TED talks. Both left college to pursue entrepreneurship full-time, culminating in Turbo AI.
How Turbo AI Works
Turbo AI provides flexible workflows for users of all comfort levels:
- Start with a blank document and gradually incorporate AI suggestions, or begin with AI-generated content and edit extensively.
- Upload PDFs, record lectures, or paste YouTube links to generate notes automatically.
- Collaborate in real-time with classmates or colleagues, enhancing teamwork while AI supports rather than dominates.
- Ask questions about specific content and receive AI-assisted clarifications or connections between ideas.
- Generate flashcards, adaptive quizzes, summaries, or even podcast versions of notes, all customizable for individual learning needs.
Dhawan explains, “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.”
Accessibility and Pricing
Turbo AI is available for free with core notetaking, collaboration, and AI-assistance features. Premium plans start at $9.99/month (billed annually) or $19.99/month, unlocking unlimited AI processing, advanced study tools, and enhanced collaboration. The platform is accessible via web, mobile, and tablet, with a desktop application coming soon.
Why It Matters
As AI tools proliferate, Turbo AI demonstrates a responsible approach to automation: augmenting productivity without replacing the human capacity for curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity. The platform is positioned to appeal to students, educators, and knowledge workers seeking efficiency while retaining control over the learning process.
