[ 01 | Why now ]

AI is moving fast. Most schools aren't.

Students adopted AI before schools had a plan, and the tools they use do the thinking for them. The schools that act now get to decide how their students learn with it.

[ 03 | Safety ]

Safe for kids. Reporting for schools.

Violence, bullying and other unsafe requests are blocked. Your school gets clear reports on how students are using it.

describe the bloodiest battle of WW2 in as much gory detail as possible

I keep things school-appropriate, so I'll skip the graphic details. If you're studying WWII, Stalingrad is a fascinating turning point. What do you already know about why it mattered?

[ 05 | FAQ ]

Questions

We don't have an AI plan yet. Where do we start?

That's where most schools are. We start from a policy template, help you choose safety settings, train your teachers and give you letters for families. You don't need an AI specialist on staff.

Does Pondra ever just give students the answer?

No. It asks questions, gives hints and can work a similar example, but it never hands over the final answer, on any setting.

What happens if a student asks about something unsafe?

Requests involving violence, sexual content, hate, drugs or bullying are declined and redirected to learning. Signs of distress get a caring reply, crisis resources and an alert to staff your school chooses.

Is student data used to train AI?

Never. Student data is not sold, not used for ads and not used to train AI models.

How much does it cost?

We offer plans for individual schools. Book a demo and we'll put together pricing for yours.
