The principles it is built on

  • Grounded, or flagged

    AI output grounds in the school’s own uploaded textbooks and data. When it cannot ground, it says so — it never invents a syllabus, a statistic or a student.

  • Page-cited, checkable

    Answers cite the page they came from, so a student, a parent or a teacher can open the printed book and check.

  • Anti-cheating by design

    Hints before answers, coaching before ghostwriting, and teacher controls over both. AI that builds ability, not dependence.

  • Cost-transparent

    Every AI call records its cost, and the product shows it — schools see what the AI actually spends.

  • Consent-first, DPDP-aligned

    Children’s features sit behind verifiable parental consent; child audio for speech practice is scored in the browser; student work never trains any AI model.

  • Hosted in India

    The platform runs in the AWS Mumbai region (ap-south-1), with server-enforced role-based access and audit trails.
