[비욘드포스트 김신 기자] AI education innovator FirstHabit is set to revolutionize the way students learn with the official launch of its next-generation platform, CHALK 4.0, at CES 2026. Billed as more than just a product, CHALK 4.0 is the company’s first complete platform, designed to create a personalized, immersive, and truly conversational learning experience.
For years, FirstHabit (formerly Seomjae) has methodically developed its technology, using CES as a proving ground rather than a launchpad. While their previous offerings, such as the Innovation Award-winning CoachON 2.0, were focused on math tutoring, CHALK 4.0 marks a monumental leap. The platform now covers all STEM subjects and is poised to expand even further.
What sets CHALK 4.0 apart is its core feature: the Conversational Lecture experience. Gone are the days of sterile, text-based explanations. Instead, students will interact with a lifelike 3D animated AI tutor in real time. This AI isn't just a voice; it's a character that delivers lectures with authentic non-verbal cues like eye contact, gestures, and facial expressions, making the learning process feel incredibly personal and engaging.
FirstHabit’s vision is to create a true one-on-one tutoring environment. The AI not only solves problems but also connects concepts across subjects, builds customized curricula, and manages the entire learning journey for each student. A spokesperson for the company explained that the goal is to provide an experience that feels like "learning directly from the world's best teacher right by your side."
"CHALK 4.0 isn’t merely a new product; it’s an innovative platform that redefines the entire paradigm of education," a FirstHabit spokesperson stated. "Its world premiere at CES 2026 is expected to be a historic milestone, signaling the beginning of the AI Tutor Era on the global stage."
By launching its most ambitious platform yet, FirstHabit aims to not only showcase its technological prowess but also solidify its position as a global leader shaping the future of education.
