Private beta — Australia and India first
Type any topic. AIQ researches it against real sources, builds you a short course with quizzes and diagrams, and then schedules the reviews that make it stick. For curious adults — and for kids, with a parent holding the keys.

Course ready
Sources cited
An illustration of the real build sequence — the app does this against live sources in about a minute.
The workspace
Every course opens the same way: what it was built from, what you are learning right now, and what you have actually mastered — one screen, nothing hidden.
How it works
Anything — "how volcanoes work", "chess openings", "my kid’s Year 5 fractions". No catalogue to browse.
It retrieves real material first: curriculum data from Oak National Academy where it covers your topic, researched sources where it does not.
Four short lessons with a diagram and a question each. Every citation is verified against what was actually retrieved, and the whole thing is safety-checked for the learner’s age.
Lessons, quizzes, XP and streaks. Then AIQ schedules the reviews that turn it from something you read into something you know.
Try it
Pick the wrong answer on purpose. AIQ gives you one more rung of a hint ladder — never the answer — and when you get there, it asks you to explain why.
⚡ Quick check
Marking happens on the server. The correct option is stripped from everything sent to the browser — so it cannot be read out of the page, and the tutor cannot be talked into revealing it either.
Getting there on the third try is told as a good thing, because it is: the struggle is what encodes it. Being called clever for a first-try guess teaches nothing.
Recognising the right answer and being able to say why are different things — and only the second one lasts.
Retention
Most study apps stop at the lesson. AIQ tracks how strong each concept is for you and brings it back at expanding intervals — right when it is about to slip.
Recall after one study session, over 18 days. AIQ schedules each review at the moment the memory starts to fade.
| Day | With spaced review | No review |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 100% | 100% |
| 1 | 47% | 47% |
| 2 | 100% | 38% |
| 4 | 56% | 30% |
| 6 | 100% | 26% |
| 9 | 66% | 22% |
| 13 | 100% | 19% |
| 18 | 71% | 17% |
What you get
Courses are built from retrieved material — Oak National Academy curriculum data where it covers your topic, researched sources where it does not. A lesson can only cite something the research step actually returned, so a fabricated reference is structurally impossible rather than merely unlikely.
Your buddy reads the lesson you are on and answers in context. Get a question wrong and it gives you one more rung of a hint ladder — never the answer. It cannot leak answers even if you ask: the tutor is handed lessons through the same filter that strips them from your screen.
AIQ tracks strength per concept and schedules retrieval at expanding intervals — 2 days, then 4, then 7 — resetting whenever you slip. Your daily session opens with the item you are most likely to get right, so the first thing you do is a win.
Learning is fastest at roughly an 85% success rate — comfortable enough to keep going, hard enough to teach. AIQ measures where you actually are and pitches the next course to it, so the same topic arrives gentler or more demanding depending on you.
Not a vague percentage: a per-concept view of what is solid, what is building, and what needs another pass — measured against your own past, never against other people. Anything weak gets a one-tap gentler practice course.
AIQ keeps notes on how you learn, and shows you all of them: every conclusion traces back to the specific answers that produced it, and you can delete any of it. Nothing the app believes about you is hidden from you.
Set per-category topic rules — pre-approve, ask me first, or never. Anything needing a decision waits in your queue with the finished course attached, so you approve what you can actually see rather than a topic name.
Only a first name and a coarse age band ever reach the AI — no email, no surname, no identifiers, through a single point in the code. Analytics IDs are hashed. There is no ad targeting on children, and no data sale at any age.
XP for questions, gems for lessons, badges at milestones — and streak freezes you earn by showing up, which absorb the days life gets in the way. A missed Tuesday costs you a freeze, not a month of momentum.
For families
Children learn on their own account, under yours. You decide which topics are open, which need your say-so, and which are off the table — and anything awaiting a decision waits with the finished course attached, so you approve what you can actually read.
Pre-approve, ask me first, or never — set once, per child.
Read the lessons before your child does.
Every conclusion traces to the answers behind it.
A first name and an age band. No email, no surname, no ad targeting — ever.
Where it runs
The workspace becomes three panels on a desktop, two with a slide-over on iPad, and a single switchable panel on a phone. Same lesson, same progress, wherever you pick it up.

Join the beta
AIQ is in private beta. We are inviting testers in waves, starting in Australia and India, across the web app, iPad and iPhone.
Questions
Anything you can name. AIQ builds the course when you ask for it, rather than picking from a fixed catalogue — volcanoes, chess openings, fractions, the Roman Empire, how memory works. School subjects are the best-supported case because AIQ can draw on real curriculum data for them.
A chat gives you an answer and forgets you. AIQ gives you a structured course with cited sources, quizzes that are marked server-side, a record of which concepts you have actually mastered, and reviews scheduled at the point you would otherwise forget. The tutor chat is one part of that, not the whole product.
Children use AIQ under a parent account. Their profile is PIN-gated, topics follow rules you set per category, and any course needing a decision waits in your approval queue. Generated content and every tutor message are checked against the child’s age band before they are shown, and both lessons and messages can be reported in one tap.
The web app, iPad and iPhone. Android is planned after launch.
There will be a free tier with a daily course allowance and time-regenerating lives, and a premium tier that lifts both. Beta testers get early access at no cost — final pricing will be published before launch.
Yes, and we would rather say so. Generated lessons are grounded in retrieved sources and every citation is checked against what was actually retrieved, which removes the most common failure — but it does not make the content infallible. Every lesson shows its sources so you can check, and every lesson can be reported.
