AI as Thought Partner

AI can be used for brainstorming and exploring ideas, but not for creating content.

What this means:

  • Use AI to discuss concepts and generate questions
  • Explore different perspectives on a topic
  • All final work must be originally created by the student

Uncover Hidden Learning Gaps

See what's invisible in the classroom. Get real-time insights into each student's strengths and struggles, with actionable support recommendations you can use immediately.

Engagement

Are students participating? With AI, passive students can hide. See who's actively learning vs just copying answers.

Learning Depth

Are students thinking deeply? AI makes surface-level work easy. Track who's asking meaningful questions vs seeking quick answers. Identify skill gaps and see exactly what each student struggles with or excels at.

Academic Integrity

Are students learning independently? Detect over-reliance on AI before it becomes a problem. Intervene early.

The Problems We Solve

This isn't a future problem. This is happening right now.

No visibility

The Visibility Crisis

86%

of students use AI regularly.

0%

institutional visibility.

Right now, AI usage is completely hidden from teachers. Students use ChatGPT and Claude in the shadows. You have zero insight into whether they're learning or just outsourcing their thinking.

✨ Simby's Solution:

Every AI interaction happens within your learning workspace. Complete visibility into the learning process.

Integrity collapse

The Integrity Collapse

300%

increase in AI plagiarism.

94%

of AI work goes undetected.

Traditional plagiarism detection doesn't work with AI. Teachers are stuck playing detective instead of teaching.

✨ Simby's Solution:

We shift from detection to direction. Guide students toward ethical, educational AI use within a monitored environment.

Preparation gap

The Preparation Gap

73%

of students expect AI in careers.

10%

of schools have AI guidelines.

Schools are afraid to embrace AI, so students sneak around policies and learn nothing about responsible use.

✨ Simby's Solution:

Bring AI into your curriculum intentionally. Teach students HOW to use AI as a learning tool, not a shortcut.

AI is not going away.
The question isn't if students will use it—
it's how they'll learn to use it responsibly.

AI is Essential for Their Future

This isn't about technology for technology's sake. It's about preparing students for the world they'll actually live in.

The Challenge

73% of students expect AI support in their future careers. But schools are stuck in a reactive mode—banning AI instead of teaching students how to use it responsibly.

When we ban AI, students don't stop using it. They just hide it. And they learn nothing about responsible use, critical thinking, or AI literacy.

We're graduating students unprepared for a world where AI is everywhere.

The Opportunity

What if AI wasn't a threat—but the most powerful teaching tool we've ever had?

With Simby, you can teach students to use AI as a thinking partner that enhances their learning, not replaces it.

  • ✅ Students learn AI literacy in a structured environment
  • ✅ They practice responsible AI use with real guardrails
  • ✅ They graduate with skills employers actually need

"If we raise a generation who can only prompt, we create a dangerously fragile system. They become masters of getting answers, but they lose the ability to formulate the right questions."

— Has AI Made School Obsolete?, O. Trajman, 2025

Common Questions from Educators

We've talked to hundreds of teachers and administrators. Here are the questions we hear most often.

Won't this just make it easier for students to take shortcuts?

Actually, the opposite. Right now students take shortcuts with AI because it's completely unmonitored and there are no guardrails. Simby creates a structured environment where AI use is transparent, guided by learning goals, and monitored by you. Students learn to use AI as a learning tool, not a shortcut. Plus, we provide data on where students may have skill gaps based on their interactions—you can see specifically what each student is struggling with or excelling at. This helps you intervene early and provide targeted support, something that's impossible with traditional AI tools.

How is this different from just using ChatGPT in class?

ChatGPT is a general-purpose tool built by a trillion-dollar company with no understanding of your curriculum, learning objectives, or student needs. Simby is purpose-built for K-12 and higher education—we've worked hard on privacy and put students' interests first, not corporate profits. We're built around YOUR materials and YOUR goals, with complete visibility into how students interact with AI. Simby grounds AI responses in the course materials you provide, ensuring students engage with your curriculum rather than random internet knowledge. No data selling, no ads, no surveillance—just a tool built specifically for learning.

This sounds like more work for teachers.

The upfront work is minimal—five minutes to set up your classroom and upload materials. What you GET is dramatically less time worrying about academic integrity, playing detective with suspicious work, and wondering if students actually understand the material. You trade a few minutes of setup time for peace of mind and actionable insights throughout the entire semester.

Is my student data safe and compliant?

Absolutely. Simby is FERPA and COPPA compliant with district-level data agreements. No student data is used for AI training. No ads, no data selling, no corporate surveillance. We're built for education from the ground up, with privacy and security as core principles, not afterthoughts.

What if my school has banned AI?

Many schools ban AI because they have no way to monitor or guide its use. Simby gives you that visibility and control, which often changes the conversation with administrators. We can help you make the case for bringing AI into the classroom responsibly. Plus, banning AI doesn't stop students from using it—it just pushes it into the shadows where they learn nothing about responsible use.

Do I need to be tech-savvy to use this?

Not at all! If you can use Google Classroom or Canvas, you can use Simby. The interface is designed to be intuitive for educators, not engineers. Upload your materials, set your guidelines with a few clicks, and you're ready to go. We also provide support and training for schools and districts.
