What it does
What the AI actually does — An adaptive knowledge-tracing engine that decomposes subjects into fine-grained 'knowledge points' (10,000+ for middle-school maths) and routes each student individually.
Why it was built — Replace generic exam tutoring with 1-on-1 personalised learning paths at scale, delivered through offline centres.
