Why I built this
Built from an earlier "Augmented Intelligence" concept I was exploring with one of my kids — an AI system meant to require critical thinking instead of giving answers — scoped down to one working piece of it: schoolwork help that stays academically honest no matter how it's used.
For essays, it runs an Open → Converse → Analyze flow: narrow a vague topic into something specific and real, hand back a bulleted outline in the student's own words, then have them go write the actual paragraphs themselves. For math, it's a guided solve that never skips past the student's own reasoning, followed by a solo review problem with no hints — the actual check that something stuck. It also adapts its vocabulary and explanation depth to the student's stated age and grade.
