🚨 The Core Message: Powered by Google Gemini AI
YeboLearn is the world's first AI-native school management platform powered by Google Gemini - the same AI that powers Google Search and Gmail.
Not "basic AI." Not "proprietary AI." GOOGLE GEMINI - enterprise-grade artificial intelligence that:

Global competitive landscape:
- PowerSchool (45M students, $2B revenue): 5-7 basic proprietary AI features, $100-150/year
- Alma (5,000 schools): 2-3 AI features in separate product, $100-160/year
- Infinite Campus (7,500 schools): 0-2 basic AI features, $80-120/year
- Zeraki (East Africa): 0 AI features, $30-40/year
- YeboLearn: 15+ Google Gemini AI features, $30-80/year
This Google Gemini advantage is why we can charge $30-80/year while delivering $20K-80K in value per year.
