About Rome harris

Rome Harris founded Coachable AI in 2019 at UCLA, where he was inspired to create a social learning network and charitable platform that could optimize education for all people. In February of 2020, Harris initiated a provisional patent for a chat-based LLM AI called eCoach that helps improve the learning and teaching process by answering questions and producing AI-generated content based on a verified network of information and human/AI interaction. This innovation predated the public launch of ChatGPT and offered fundamentally the same functionality, with added capabilities for education, such as anti-hallucinatory assurances and teacher/learner assessment features.  Harris was recognized as one of the Top 10 Trailblazing Entreprenerurs in AI to Follow in 2024 by Microsoft and MSN.

Harris has been passionate about education and civic impact since an early age, and has had an extensive educational journey himself. In college he approached education, set on seeing learning as an end in itself. By approaching education as on opportunity for growth and not an obstacle he rose to the top of his class at UCLA, where he studied Entrepreneurship, Writing, and Music Industry. Further he studied Behavioral Sciences, English, Sociology, Arts and Humanities, Journalism, and Music Production over the course of his continued education, attaining various degrees from several institutions.

Harris was elected to lead multiple social media startups/business pitches in his time at UCLA. In doing so, he was able to successfully develop business concepts and lead teams to successful outcomes. 

His ultimate leadership role came in a class that  helped form Coachable from a fledgling idea to a true startup. While Harris conceived the idea  before the class, it officially accelerated into a real business after that class. Harris' idea was chosen by his classmates and his instructor, who taught at UCLA and the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business, as the most viable business out of several concepts pitched by other UCLA students.

Since launching, Coachable has gained recognition from various esteemed organizations such as Techstars, Blackstone Launchpad, 3DS, Pepperdine Graziadio Business School's Most Fundable Companies Competition, and other organizations.

Rome is passionate about humanitarianism, technology, invention, physics, engineering, music, art, martial arts, and writing. He is an artist, writer, entrepreneur, and inventor. His ultimate ambition is to contribute to a sustainable and equitable future for all people, the planet, and society at large.
