Most AI does the homework. Compass makes them do it themselves. One teacher-reviewed step at a time.

Help students move from
stuck to started.

What is the smallest piece of help that lets the student think again?

Sometimes we all need a little help getting started.

One calm, safe next step. Never the answer.

Why this helps

Marking one part gives your eyes a clear place to start. The problem feels smaller when you know where to look first.

On your own work

Compass adjusts

Smaller, or the next step

The loop repeats, each step a little smaller, until the student is moving.

Compass helps students get unstuck without doing the work for them.

Compass protects the learning moment.

Every other AI races to give your kid the answer. Compass does the opposite: it gives one small step, then lets them think. That moment of figuring it out is where learning actually happens, and it is the thing Compass is built to protect.

Why Compass is different

Most AI gives answers. Compass gives the next step.

Most tools generate freely. Compass uses reviewed learning moves.

Most chatbots keep talking. Compass gives one action, then checks if it helped.

Most homework tools can create dependency. Compass builds independence.

Popular starting points

How it works

Type. Step. Loop.

01

Type what’s stuck.

In plain words. A fraction you can’t start, an essay you can’t begin. No menus, no jargon, no setup.

You type

I can’t start dividing fractions

One reviewed step

Open one example of dividing fractions and mark the fraction you need to flip.

02

Get one step.

Not a plan. Not advice. Not the answer. One concrete action, doable in under five minutes, reviewed by a teacher.

03

Loop and improve.

Tell Compass if it helped. The next step adjusts to what actually worked, smaller or the next move, until the student is going.

It helped, give me the next one
Still stuck, make it smaller
Next: just flip the second fraction. Don’t multiply yet.

This is Compass

Compass

Gives the first learning move

One small action the student can do right now.

A student asks

“What’s the area of a 4 by 6 rectangle?”

Compass won’t hand over 24

Compass says

Find the length and width, then mark each one before you multiply.

They find the quantities that matter first, learning to begin the problem instead of copying a result.

And when one small step isn’t enough?

When a student is still stuck, don’t make the help bigger — make the next move different.

Compass never escalates toward the answer. It offers a different small move — a new place to put the student’s attention — so the thinking always stays with the student.

— Andy McEvoy, founder & teacher

Compass helps students become more independent, not more dependent.

It does not hand over the answer. It gives one learning move the student can do next.

Compass is built to help without taking over. It doesn’t replace teaching, tutoring, or practice. It helps students begin the work themselves.

Built to help. Not take over.

For schools & educators

Built to support teachers, not replace them.

Compass is a tool for educators, not a substitute for their judgment. Every step a student sees was reviewed by a teacher. When a message sounds concerning, Compass routes the student toward support resources instead of a worksheet. And because Compass never hands over the answer, it helps schools support students without opening the door to AI doing their work.

Teacher-reviewed.

Every first move is checked by an educator before a student can reach it.

Safety-aware.

Concerning messages route to support resources, never a homework step.

Integrity-first.

No answer-giving means AI support without the cheating problem.
