Cognitive AI Buddy
Not a tutor/chatbot. A thinking partner.
It doesn’t hand out answers; it trains curiosity. Every interaction is designed to stretch thinking, spark better questions, and build real confidence.
We’re raising
thinkers, not
test-takers.
Our first product,
Noddy — a playful
study buddy — is just the beginning of an ecosystem designed to
protect curiosity in the AI age.
“Noddy is the spark igniting the AiKnoD ecosystem.”
Grades over growth. Speed over mastery.
Logs submissions. Compliance over resilience.
Instant Answers. No ownership or integrity of thought.
Builds resilience, sparks curiosity, grows thinkers.
Tutoring apps give quick fixes. LMS tools track assignments. Generative AI spits out instant answers. But none of them nurture resilience, critical thinking, creative problem-solving or true curiosity. That’s where AiKnoD steps in.
The tools of the past won’t build the thinkers of tomorrow.
Noddy isn’t a chatbot or tutor. It’s a playful AI powered study companion designed to spark curiosity, celebrate effort, and nurture resilience. Noddy makes learning fun for kids and growth transparent for parents and teachers.

Gamified learning growth tree.
Each mastered concept unlocks a new branch. Kids see their knowledge bloom in real time, a living, gamified map that makes progress addictive in the best way.
Because grades don’t tell the whole story.
Through our proprietary metric, we track focus, persistence, resilience, and creativity, the invisible wins behind every “aha!” moment. Teachers and parents finally see what traditional scores hide.
Growth should be transparent all along.
Our dashboards give teachers a crystal clear view of progress, from tiny steps to giant leaps. Real time, transparent, and efficient for intervention planning to support teaching.
Seamless with tools schools already use.
Noddy plugs directly into popular learning management systems such as Schoology, Canvas, and Google Classroom, syncing assignments, grades, and progress data. No extra logins, no added chaos. Just deeper insights layered onto systems teachers already trust.
Real time in depth insights for parents.
Parents get clear, actionable insights to support their child’s progress and celebrate milestones together, making them better equipped to support studying at home.
AiKnoD isn’t a single app or dashboard. We’re building a constellation of products that reimagine how education is delivered in the AI era— where effort matters, curiosity grows, and human intelligence thrives alongside AI.
We're getting started with Noddy. More products are coming, collectively creating a ecosystem for tomorrow's classrooms.

Feature tie-in: NBEI tracks persistence and focus to surface growth signals.
Findings: Praising effort encourages persistence, resilience, and deeper learning. Praising intelligence can reduce risk taking and hinder growth.
Feature tie-in: Learning Journey Maps and Parent Dashboards provide actionable guidance, not just data.
Evidence: Learning analytics dashboards that pair visuals with guidance support self regulated learning and student agency.
