Xephyr Labs launches free AI platform for Bangladeshi students

Bangladeshi technology startup Xephyr Labs has launched Lattu.ai, a free artificial intelligence (AI)-powered platform designed to help Bangladeshi students plan and pursue higher education opportunities abroad.

According to a press release issued by Xephyr Labs, the platform provides students with information on more than 3,000 universities in over 18 countries, covering more than 800 subjects and over 100 international scholarships.

It also offers information on accommodation, eligibility criteria, application procedures, timelines, costs and university addresses.

The platform has been designed specifically for Bangladeshi students to help them make more realistic and informed decisions about studying abroad, read the release.

Pallab Mahmud, co-founder of Lattu.ai and a software engineer with professional experience at Microsoft, said the platform was created to make it easier for students to plan their higher education and research opportunities abroad.

“We wanted to create a platform where students can easily plan their higher studies and research abroad. Lattu.ai consolidates all essential information so that Bangladeshi students can access a world of knowledge at their fingertips,” he said.

Citing UNESCO data, the release said 52,799 Bangladeshi students pursued higher education abroad in 2023, nearly ten times the number recorded in 2010.
