Rori: AI Maths Tutor on WhatsApp

PR Campaign
Saturday 17th October, 2026

Rising Academies created Rori, a WhatsApp tutor that adapts maths lessons to students’ answers and works in areas with limited connectivity. The coverage hook is a study of 500 students suggesting that two short sessions a week helped them achieve results equivalent to an extra year of study, against the backdrop of teacher shortages across Africa.

Why it worked: It paired a counter-narrative (parents embracing AI) with rigorous, surprising impact data (two short WhatsApp sessions ≈ a year’s learning).

The lesson: Consider pitching a simple, low-tech delivery hack with third-party study results that quantify outsized gains in a resource-constrained setting.

FAQs

What is this?

Every day, brands launch PR campaigns and the media covers them. We scan lots of different news sources and use AI to spot the campaigns behind the stories, and show you which ones are getting the most traction right now. Think of it as a live leaderboard of what's working in PR.

Where does the data come from?

Finchling is a news monitoring tool that analyses lots of news from across the internet.

Does this track sponsored posts, or is it earned media only?

It's built to only track earned media - we use AI to filter out anything that we think is a sponsored placement.

What does "ranked by coverage" mean?

It's ranked by the volume of coverage that talks positively about the campaign. We count the outlets covering it, then give a boost to campaigns whose coverage is positive, and those with negative coverage drop down. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach.

Why isn't my campaign listed?

If you've launched a PR campaign recently and it's not included in here, and you think it should be - drop us a note and we'll investigate.
