Why the name

The great minds
are the students.

That is the name. Great Minds AI is for the minds still being shaped, the students in the room. The AI is how one teacher stays with every one of them.

Why we’re building it

Thirty students. One teacher.

While you work with one student, the rest of the class still needs to be learning. Great Minds AI gives every student a curriculum-aligned learning buddy that keeps them progressing, safely and independently, exactly where they are in the Australian Curriculum.

The team

Built by a teacher, a technologist and an operator.
