Have You Felt It Too?

Have You Felt It Too?


If you're a parent...

Home at 6pm. Dinner to make. Homework due. Your kid's stuck and frustrated.


You want to help—but Year 8 physics? That's a dormant island in your brain for quite a while. Tutoring? $80 an hour. That's rent money for most families.


So tension rises. Bills rise. Family time drops.


If you're a teacher...

You've always known the truth. Individualised learning works best. Different textbooks. Different workbooks. Different approaches for different kids.


But thirty students. One of you. You can't split yourself.


So you often desperately watch kids fall behind while you drown in high workloads. You know what they need. You just can't give it to all of them.


I've felt all of it. Because I've been both.


Nine years being a teacher, and 12 years being a father.


So I Spent Years Seeking Solutions

In 2016, I tried to learn coding to fix this. Failed completely. Too busy and lack of foundations.


Then from 2021, AI changed everything. I learned more much faster in a few years than I had in the previous decades. Calculus. Linear algebra. Programming. Computer science. Latin. Building LLMs. Writing my own algorithms. Me—a 40-something ancient history major.


And I thought: If AI can transform me at this age, why not kids?

This is how Emma—an AI Study Mate comes to be. 


What Emma Does

With your permission, Emma sees what your child is stuck on. In real time.


She doesn't give answers. She finds the right angle. Guides your child to build their own steps. Their own solution. Real learning, not cheating with AI.


She tracks the journey too. The gains. The stumbles. How your child learns best.


Over time, she knows exactly what they need—and proposes practice to match.


And yes—Emma's built on Australian curricula. With an Aussie accent.


A Bigger Picture

Every generation has a technology that defines it. Those who embraced it early? They gained the most.


AI is that technology now.


This generation won't just use AI. They'll grow up with it. They'll think with it. They'll be AI-native.


The question isn't whether your child will use AI. It's whether they'll learn how to use it—wisely, early, and well.


Emma helps them start.


What We Gain

No more guilt that you're not providing enough.


Your kid will be better encouraged, better motivated, and have a much stronger hope for their future.


Every kid deserves that. You deserve that. Now, let's make it happen.
