AI that teaches — without doing the work for them

The AI tutor that respects your syllabus

Give students a tutor bounded by each professor's rules — then see what no other AI tool reveals: anonymized insight into exactly what your class doesn't understand.

The problem

The binary approach to AI is failing everyone

Universities are stuck choosing between two bad options. Students and professors both lose.

Ban it entirely

Students graduate unprepared for a workforce that runs on AI — and quietly use it anyway, in tabs you can’t see.

Allow everything

General chatbots hand over finished answers. Students skip the struggle that builds real understanding.

Either way: you go blind

When students solve problems they don’t understand elsewhere, professors lose all visibility into real learning gaps.

Archimedes turns AI into an instructional asset — not an academic liability.

The Archimedes difference

Anyone can build a chatbot.
We show you what your class is learning.

Guardrails and custom tutors are becoming table stakes — plenty of tools have them. What no one else gives you is the flip side of every student conversation: a live, anonymized picture of exactly where your class is stuck, while it still matters.

  • Struggles ranked by real confusion
    Not raw question counts — genuine sticking points, weighted by follow-ups and repeated attempts.
  • Read the actual chats behind any insight
    Click a topic and read the real, pseudonymized conversations that produced it. No other tool lets you drill in.
  • One clear thing to do next
    An AI recommendation you can act on in tomorrow’s lecture — plus weekly summaries in your inbox.

Revisit the chain rule in your next lecture — most confusion appears when students nest more than two functions.

How it works

Live in three steps

01

Upload your syllabus

Drop in a syllabus or assignment. Archimedes reads it and suggests AI permission toggles automatically — allow brainstorming, disallow direct solutions, and more.

02

Set your guardrails

Flip toggles and add rules in plain English. A four-layer prompt architecture enforces the intent of your rules and resists student workarounds.

03

Watch the insights roll in

Students chat with a familiar AI tutor. You get anonymized trends, trouble spots, and weekly summaries of exactly where the class is struggling.

The platform

Built around insight — with everything else a course needs

Only on Archimedes

Anonymized insight

See trending topics, ranked confusions, and “guardrail bumps” — a live picture of what your class doesn’t understand, fully decoupled from identity.

Only on Archimedes

AI summaries & next steps

On-demand and weekly reports of where the class is struggling, each with one clear, actionable recommendation for your next lecture.

Only on Archimedes

Drill into the real chats

Click any insight to read the actual, pseudonymized conversations behind it — the “why” beneath every number.

Four-layer guardrails

Persona, security, your dynamic rules, and a contextual-refusal strategy — combined into one prompt that enforces intent, not just wording.

Answer-key aware tutoring

Upload the solution key. The tutor checks whether a student is on the right track and hints toward the approach — without ever revealing the answer.

Native Canvas (LTI 1.3)

Install once. Students launch with their Canvas identity, deep-link straight into assignments, and rosters sync automatically.

Built for both sides of the classroom

One platform, two experiences

For Professors

Configure guardrails without overhauling a single legacy assignment. See what students struggle with — professor dashboards don't show who.

  • See exactly where your class struggles
  • Read the anonymized chats behind every insight
  • Two-minute setup, no assignment rewrites
Explore for professors

For Students

Learn your course material and master modern AI tools at the same time — without fear of an honor-code violation.

  • A familiar, ChatGPT-style tutor
  • Completely anonymous prompts
  • Help that’s actually allowed for your class

Privacy by design

Anonymity isn't a setting. It's the foundation.

Students only open up to an AI they trust. That's why professor dashboards never display student names or IDs — insights show what the class asked, not who asked.

Aggregate, not individual
Professors see trends and pseudonymized transcripts — no names, no student IDs.
Small-class safeguards
When a class is tiny, we flag the deanonymization risk instead of pretending it away.
Honor-code friendly
A sanctioned tool students actually want to use, so they don’t reach for an unsanctioned one.
