Alpha School students: Look at this awesome history app we built with AI.Our history students spend 45 minutes a day voluntarily learning geography. Every break, Every lunch... Same thing... GeoGuesser. So we asked the obvious question: Why doesn't this exist for history? We built it. You watch AI footage from a time and place in history. Then
