Literal was created to develop a new generation of engaged readers. While teenagers spend hours on their phones but minutes reading books, Literal aimed to change this by creating a reading platform that felt as natural as texting. When students couldn't find familiar titles in our library, they stopped looking for alternatives. The solution? Leverage AI technology to connect students with thousands of great books in our existing library.
Collaborating with V School's education leadership team, we tackled post-online transition challenges using the Product Kata. Through clearer expectations and improved progress tracking, we collectively cut course completion times by 50%, enhancing student success.
