The problem it solves

Your students message with questions at all hours, and answering each one personally isn't realistic. When you're not available, students wait, get frustrated, or give up instead of getting help.

Who it fits

Tutoring schools, cram schools, and independent teachers offering ongoing student support.

How it works

  1. A student sends a question through the chat app
  2. AI reads the conversation history and searches your uploaded course materials
  3. It replies with a clear explanation directly to the student
  4. If it isn't confident in the answer, it alerts a teacher so they can step in
  5. Every question and outcome is logged for review
What you get

Questions answered from your own course materials

Students get accurate answers pulled straight from your own teaching materials, day or night, with a teacher alerted whenever more help is needed.

What you get

Instant answers to routine student questions and a log of topics students struggle with.

What you need

A LINE messaging account, a Google Drive folder of course materials, a Google Sheets spreadsheet, a Slack workspace, and a Gemini API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
