Study & tutoring - finally feels right.

Purpose

Problem

AI is reshaping work. People get reduced to spreadsheet rows. Learning still feels lonely: PDFs, jargon, tab-hopping between translators and explainers - zero support, zero flow.

  • No built-in help or translation
  • Constant context switching
  • No dialogue, no guidance

Belief

Work and study should feel human. We value equity, growth, and real ownership. You should not wait for a layoff - you should build your future.

  • Human-first, builder culture
  • Equity and long-term upside
  • Freedom, responsibility, momentum

Solution

We are building human-centered AI tools for learning. Our first prototype, BookBuddy, turns any document into a guided conversation that adapts to you.

  • Explains concepts in plain language
  • Asks good questions; builds mastery
  • Feels like a tutor - not a chatbot
