The AI tutor that
respects your syllabus
Give students a tutor bounded by each professor's rules — then see what no other AI tool reveals: anonymized insight into exactly what your class doesn't understand.
Built for the modern higher-ed classroom
The binary approach to AI is failing everyone
Universities are stuck choosing between two bad options. Students and professors both lose.
Ban it entirely
Students graduate unprepared for a workforce that runs on AI — and quietly use it anyway, in tabs you can’t see.
Allow everything
General chatbots hand over finished answers. Students skip the struggle that builds real understanding.
Either way: you go blind
When students solve problems they don’t understand elsewhere, professors lose all visibility into real learning gaps.
Archimedes turns AI into an instructional asset — not an academic liability.
Anyone can build a chatbot.
We show you what your class is learning.
Guardrails and custom tutors are becoming table stakes — plenty of tools have them. What no one else gives you is the flip side of every student conversation: a live, anonymized picture of exactly where your class is stuck, while it still matters.
- Struggles ranked by real confusionNot raw question counts — genuine sticking points, weighted by follow-ups and repeated attempts.
- Read the actual chats behind any insightClick a topic and read the real, pseudonymized conversations that produced it. No other tool lets you drill in.
- One clear thing to do nextAn AI recommendation you can act on in tomorrow’s lecture — plus weekly summaries in your inbox.
Revisit the chain rule in your next lecture — most confusion appears when students nest more than two functions.
Live in three steps
Upload your syllabus
Drop in a syllabus or assignment. Archimedes reads it and suggests AI permission toggles automatically — allow brainstorming, disallow direct solutions, and more.
Set your guardrails
Flip toggles and add rules in plain English. A four-layer prompt architecture enforces the intent of your rules and resists student workarounds.
Watch the insights roll in
Students chat with a familiar AI tutor. You get anonymized trends, trouble spots, and weekly summaries of exactly where the class is struggling.
Built around insight — with everything else a course needs
Anonymized insight
See trending topics, ranked confusions, and “guardrail bumps” — a live picture of what your class doesn’t understand, fully decoupled from identity.
AI summaries & next steps
On-demand and weekly reports of where the class is struggling, each with one clear, actionable recommendation for your next lecture.
Drill into the real chats
Click any insight to read the actual, pseudonymized conversations behind it — the “why” beneath every number.
Four-layer guardrails
Persona, security, your dynamic rules, and a contextual-refusal strategy — combined into one prompt that enforces intent, not just wording.
Answer-key aware tutoring
Upload the solution key. The tutor checks whether a student is on the right track and hints toward the approach — without ever revealing the answer.
Native Canvas (LTI 1.3)
Install once. Students launch with their Canvas identity, deep-link straight into assignments, and rosters sync automatically.
One platform, two experiences
For Professors
Configure guardrails without overhauling a single legacy assignment. See what students struggle with — professor dashboards don't show who.
- See exactly where your class struggles
- Read the anonymized chats behind every insight
- Two-minute setup, no assignment rewrites
For Students
Learn your course material and master modern AI tools at the same time — without fear of an honor-code violation.
- A familiar, ChatGPT-style tutor
- Completely anonymous prompts
- Help that’s actually allowed for your class
Anonymity isn't a setting. It's the foundation.
Students only open up to an AI they trust. That's why professor dashboards never display student names or IDs — insights show what the class asked, not who asked.
