About TBAI

Built with purpose.
Designed with respect.

TBAI turns every tutoring session into a personalized, measurable learning plan, and was designed with Indigenous students and communities at the centre from day one.

Why we built this.

Every student deserves to know how they are doing. Every parent deserves to be informed. And every community deserves technology that was built for them, not adapted from something that was not.

TBAI started with a simple observation: every tutoring session contains useful evidence about what a student can do, where a skill gap remains, and what should be practiced next. But that evidence rarely reaches families in clear, timely language.

We set out to fix that with session recording, curriculum alignment, mastery scoring, educator review, and family recaps. And when we thought about who needed this most, the answer was clear: Indigenous students and communities, chronically underserved by edtech that was never designed with them in mind.

So we built TBAI differently. With language support. With data sovereignty. With extended family access. With the understanding that education is not just individual. It is communal.

"The goal was never to build another edtech tool. It was to build something a community could actually trust."

Our Values

What we stand for.

🤝

Respect

We approach every community, every family, and every student with deep respect for their language, their data, their values, and their sovereignty.

🌱

Community

Education is not individual. It is communal. TBAI is designed for the whole village: students, parents, extended family, Elders, and community leaders.

💡

Clarity

Technology should make things clearer, not more complicated. Zero jargon. Plain language. Reports that anyone can understand, no degree required.

🔐

Trust

We earn trust by being transparent, keeping our commitments, and never monetizing or sharing community data. Trust is not assumed. It is built.

🎯

Impact

We measure success through skill mastery, clear progression over time, and useful family communication. If the evidence is not actionable for educators, we have not done our job.

🤖

Responsible AI

AI is a tool, not a replacement for human judgment. Every sensitive output goes through human review. We use AI to help, never to automate away care.

Our Mission
"To give every student, especially those historically left behind, the insight, support, and community connection they deserve to thrive."

That starts with Indigenous communities. And it grows from there.
