Knowbox

The core of Knowbox's business is an online education platform designed to connect students and teachers, serving as a virtual classroom. It operates on a B2B and B2C SaaS model, primarily targeting the K-12 market. The platform provides tools for teachers to create assignments, manage, and correct homework, while students can complete their work online. A key operational aspect is the use of big data analytics, which empowers educators to design personalized lesson plans tailored to the specific needs and learning pace of each student. This is complemented by AI-driven tutoring systems that offer adaptive learning experiences. The company introduced an 'AR teacher' feature, a notable application of augmented reality in its online classes, to create more interactive and engaging classroom experiences.

Knowbox offers a suite of products under the 'Xiaohe' brand, including 'Xiaohe Student' and 'Xiaohe Teacher' apps. The main product, 'Xiaohe Classroom' (小盒课堂), delivers online courses in subjects such as Math, Chinese, and English for primary and middle school students. These services are designed to supplement school education, helping students address knowledge gaps and strengthen their understanding. The platform features various course formats like live interactive classes, video lessons, and quizzes to keep students engaged. Revenue is generated through subscription-based models, providing access to its educational content and premium features. By 2019, the company reported having over 40 million users across 100,000 schools in nearly 400 cities in China.
