About Rivet

About company

Rivet originated in the spring of 2017 by two machine learning engineers who thought Google’s artificial intelligence capabilities could break down barriers to literacy. Created as part of Area 120, Google's workshop for experimental ideas, Rivet's mission is to solve some of the primary obstacles to good reading practice - access to books, access to high quality feedback, and most importantly, enthusiasm for reading. It takes patience and motivation to unlock the power of reading; the abundance of apps, games, and media competing for each child’s attention can make it a challenge to invest the required time and effort. Rivet uses those same technologies to get kids excited about reading.
