AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Use language models to interpret lesson plans and generate role-play scenarios. Keep pedagogical frameworks in structured fields. Validate feedback tone and accuracy through deterministic checks. A pedagogy expert confirms the AI's coaching quality and relevance before deployment.
What your team sees
Key screens: Module dashboard, simulation interface, feedback review. Use a central simulation canvas for the role-play and a right-hand panel for references, constraints and feedback. Display the scenario text and the AI's response. Show the teacher's input and the AI's evaluation. In this product, the first view is the module dashboard, followed by the simulation interface and feedback review.

How we build it
We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.
- 1
Scoping call
Day 1Thirty minutes on your process, your data and how you want to run it: for your own team, or for your clients. You get a fixed scope and price for the MVP.

Run and improve

Why we start with an MVP
An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will heads of teaching and learning at independent schools use it to solve "teachers want to teach creativity and resilience but lack the training and time to design these lessons"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. The pilot proves value by comparing teacher retention and training costs against current methods.
- Measure, then decide. Track teacher retention rates and student engagement scores. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.
MVP scope for this solution. One buyer (independent school), one use case (financial literacy), first two modules, manual review of feedback
After the MVP. Automated cohort meetings, integration with LMS, advanced analytics on student outcomes
What the build depends on. LLM APIs, voice synthesis engines, pedagogical data sets
Investment
A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. You pay per phase, so you can stop after the MVP.
- Phase 1
MVP
One buyer segment, one recurring use case. Manual review in the loop.

Running costs per month
A rough indication of monthly hosting and AI model costs once it is live, not tested. Real costs depend on usage, file sizes and the models chosen.

Lead magnet
A free demonstration of a financial literacy module
The first 30 days
- Week 1: Ship one 4-week module on teaching financial literacy.
- Week 2: Fine-tune the AI on a specific pedagogy.
- Week 3: Launch the platform for one teacher.
- Week 4: Collect audio clips and provide manual feedback.
Paid pilot
The pilot proves value by comparing teacher retention and training costs against current methods. The baseline is the cost of in-person workshops. The decision is whether the license model is viable.
Success metrics
Teacher retention rates and student engagement scores
Retention and expansion
Earn through annual licenses and new module releases
Why clients would pick it
Fine-tuning on specific pedagogies creates a moat. Data on successful coaching interactions improves the model over time.
Alternatives and positioning
People use recorded videos and static forums. This differs by offering interactive role-play and real-time feedback.
Main delivery costs
Compute costs for LLM inference and voice synthesis
Safeguards
The AI must not grade students or replace human judgment. It must respect data privacy
