Compass is open in classrooms for now

Right now, students use Compass at school with a teacher in the room. If your teacher gave you a class code, you can join here.

For teachers, parents and schools

Built to support teachers, not replace them.

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

01

Compass protects the learning moment.

Many AI tools are built 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.

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.

02

How it works

Type what’s stuck.

In plain words. A fraction you can’t start, an essay you can’t begin. No jargon, no setup. Or find your topic from a list.

Get one step.

Not a plan. Not advice. Not the answer. One concrete action: usually a reviewed move when Compass knows your topic, a general first step when it does not.

Tell Compass how it went.

  • It helped
  • Still stuck, show me a different way
  • Too hard

Tell Compass what happened. It helped brings the next small step, or you keep going on your own. Still stuck brings a different way in, when one has been written for that skill. Too hard asks for a smaller step, when one has been written. When the reviewed moves run out, Compass says so and suggests showing the exact spot to a teacher or helper.

Reviewed help, safety and limits

Compass is a tool for educators, not a substitute for their judgment. Every reviewed move a student sees was checked by an educator before it went live. When Compass has no reviewed move for a topic, it does not make one up: it gives a general first step, or says what it can help with. When Compass’s safety check flags a message as a crisis, Compass sets the schoolwork aside and points the student to real people and helplines. Compass is for schoolwork, not emergencies: if you or someone else may be in danger, tell a trusted adult or call your local emergency number. 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 reviewed move is checked by an educator before a student can reach it. Where there is none for a topic, Compass does not make one up.

Safety-aware.

When Compass’s safety check flags a crisis, it shows real helplines and gives no homework step.

Integrity-first.

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

05

Privacy

Compass is built with privacy as a default, not an afterthought.

  • Students have no account and nothing syncs.
  • We do not share your goals with third parties.
  • We do not use your goals to train AI models.
  • We do not store your raw goal text in analytics.

Try one small step.

No account. No plan. Just your next move.
