Jist

AI tutors with actual personality, not a textbook that talks.

The idea

The problem with most educational software isn't the material, it's that everything sounds the same — a neutral voice explaining things at you. Jist gives each tutor a distinct personality, because a kid will argue with a character and will not argue with a textbook.

How it works

Pick a tutor, choose a topic, take a quiz. Three steps and no setup, which is roughly the attention budget you get before a child goes and does something else.

This one runs on my own data, so there's no public login — the screenshots above show what it actually does.
