Why do you use AI photos on the site?

Technology can save us time — time we'd rather spend teaching. So instead of expensive photo shoots or cheesy stock photography, our designers go wild with their best Midjourney prompts. For beautiful images. And so the big picture remains efficient. Can we pay more attention to your personal learning process.

So do robots only work at Bit Academy?

No way. Our coaches are as real as you are. For example, get to know Arno.
