Promising Edtech Taskbase now part of Bloomhaus Portfolio

With the increasing pace of automation and the integration of AI, both students and the workforce must continuously upskill or reskill to remain competitive. Taskbase, a spin-off from ETH Zurich founded by Samuel Portmann in 2015, offers a unique solution to a critical challenge in the education sector.


In today's rapidly evolving world, learning has become indispensable for adapting to change and overcoming obstacles. Taskbase offers a unique solution to a critical challenge in the education sector. Addressing the need for personalized feedback on open-ended exercises has long been a struggle for e-learning providers and publishing houses. While large language models (LLMs) initially appeared to hold promise in this regard, they have fallen short in recognizing learning objectives effectively, scaling over a large number of exercises, and consistently delivering high-quality outputs.


Cracking open-ended exercises solved

Enter Taskbase, whose innovative solution harnesses over 55 AI models, including GPT models, integrated into a sophisticated engine that surpasses the capabilities of GPT alone. With a track record of generating over 50 million feedback instances for clients such as Klett, Cornelsen, Lehrmittelverlag St. Gallen, BASF, and Post, Taskbase has enabled students to accelerate their learning process by twofold. Moreover, educators have seen a remarkable 75% reduction in the time spent grading exams and providing individual feedback. Utilizing data insights, Taskbase continually refines its models to deliver even higher-quality feedback.

We see strong market traction and great potential for Taskbase to lead in the evolving EdTech landscape."
