The history of BeSmart Campus is rooted in the personal experience of its founder. Traumatized by difficulties in mathematics during his schooling, he experienced the humiliation of failure before meeting a teacher capable of explaining concepts differently to him. When he noticed his daughters encountering the same obstacles years later, he decided to act. "I still remember standing in front of the class wearing a dunce cap, with the teacher telling me I was a hopeless case in math. Yet, with the right teaching approach, I ended up studying the subject at university. We want to offer this chance to overcome failure by having access to different pedagogical approaches to every child and ensure that no talent is wasted simply because the system lacks the resources to adapt teaching to each student's level of understanding," confides Dennis Rot.

And it is precisely this need for interaction that led the founder of BeSmart Campus to turn to AI, and more specifically to the Gemini models: "We needed technology capable of understanding a student's question, but also the exact context of the video being watched and the precise moment they interrupt it to ask their question. When we discovered the capabilities of NotebookLM and the underlying power of Deepmind and the Gemini models, we realized we had a solid basis for our solution. I had never before seen a model capable of grasping our educational content with such finesse and interacting with it in real-time."

In practice, the BeSmart Learning platform relies on a fluid technological synergy made possible by the integration of Gemini. To structure the educational content of BeSmart Campus and prepare the initial models, BeSmart Campus used Gemini models to analyze and organize the video explanations produced with teachers. The core of the system is real-time contextual tutoring: lessons take the form of short explanatory videos, which the student can pause at any time to ask a question. Thanks to its multimodal understanding, Gemini immediately identifies the relevant section and provides a response consistent with the pedagogical method designed by BeSmart Campus, acting as a true digital extension of the teacher.

When a student makes a mistake, Gemini doesn't simply provide the correct answer: it revisits the course logic, details the steps, and suggests another way to approach the concept. By reusing the explanations presented in the video, the AI reinforces understanding through contextualized repetition, a method impossible to deploy at scale in a traditional school environment.

"Gemini's strength lies in its ability to understand exactly what the student is watching and to respond following our own pedagogical logic. When a student stops on a detail and asks 'Why is there a blue circle here?', the AI revisits the steps taught in the video and reformulates with the method used in our bootcamps. Another advantage: the AI never gets impatient and can rephrase ten, twenty, or thirty times if necessary," emphasizes Dennis Rot.

The first operational version of the BeSmart Learning Platform was designed in only three months, thanks to Google Cloud’s orchestration, processing, and AI integration capabilities. "Without the robustness of Google Cloud services and the ease of integrating Gemini, we never could have developed such a complete prototype in so little time," acknowledges Dennis Rot, who highlights the importance of the technical and human support provided by the Google Cloud teams in this success.

Bolstered by this international interest in its platform, BeSmart Campus now plans to offer it beyond the Netherlands because while the content may differ by country, the method remains universal: a good explanation, clear progression, and patient support. "Every child can understand, if given the time and the right explanation. Our mission is to ensure no talent is lost, and Google Cloud technologies and AI technologies, supported by the strong commitment of its teams alongside us, provide the infrastructure and power needed to carry out this mission at scale," concludes Dennis Rot.
