Build understanding
Explains concepts from the source materials, checks understanding along the way, and corrects misconceptions.
Agents
Conversational AI agents that teach, discuss, and assess, grounded in the materials an instructor chooses and built around the outcomes that matter. Designed for the classroom, and for training and professional development beyond it.
Three modes
Every agent comes in three modes that share one knowledge pool and one set of learning goals, so results can be compared across them.
Explains concepts from the source materials, checks understanding along the way, and corrects misconceptions.
Poses cases, plays roles, and pushes learners to apply concepts and defend their reasoning.
Asks structured questions without teaching the answers, then reports a result for each learning outcome with evidence.
How they're built
A guided interview asks the instructor what learners should be able to do, at what level, and how each outcome will be judged.
The instructor chooses the sources: readings, notes, cases, and definitions. The agent works only from these, with no open-web browsing.
Each conversation produces a verified record of the transcript and how the learner engaged, ready for the instructor to review.
Grounded
Agents cite the source behind each claim and label their own interpretation when they apply a concept. Questions outside the materials get redirected, not answered from the internet.
Transparent
Learners are told up front what each session captures and why. Results inform the instructor's judgment; they don't replace it.
Who it's for
Add practice and conversational assessment to online and hybrid courses, tied to your own learning outcomes and materials.
Consistent, outcome-aligned evidence across sections, useful for program review and accreditation reporting.
Training, onboarding, and professional development grounded in your own policies, cases, and competency frameworks.

I'm looking for a small number of courses and organizations to build early agents with.
Always happy to talk teaching, research, or building agents for your course or organization.
