Flint

Flint is an AI tutoring platform built for schools, designed to let teachers customize learning for students with AI-generated conversations, assessments and feedback. The idea is to overcome the shortcomings of traditional teaching methods by offering students personalized help that's better suited to their individual needs.

Teachers can use Flint to craft AI interactions that are tailored to specific learning goals, uploading resources and constraining the AI's behavior. The result is a customized conversation that can be used for subjects like English, social studies, computer science, science, world languages, math and ethics. Teachers can also track student progress in real time and get feedback on where students are struggling.

Among Flint's features are:

• Personalized Learning: Teachers can craft AI conversations that are tailored to specific learning goals and materials.
• Customizable Feedback: AI-generated feedback lets students improve their work, with the ability to set reading levels and grading criteria.
• Real-time Monitoring: Teachers can see student conversations as they happen and intervene with targeted help.
• Security: Flint doesn't use student chat data to train AI models, so it doesn't share data and is GDPR compliant.
• Equitable Access: Flint is available to students under 13 without requiring a phone number.
• Comprehensive Support: Flint offers 1-1 onboarding calls, virtual training and in-person professional development.

Teachers have seen success with Flint, with improved student engagement and learning outcomes, according to the company. One teacher used Flint to get advanced students to learn more advanced French and to help struggling students catch up. Another teacher used Flint for coding lessons, with the AI adjusting difficulty levels automatically based on each student's abilities.

Flint stands out for its commitment to protecting student data, unlike some other AI tools that use student interactions to train their models. That makes it a safer and more trustworthy option for schools. Flint's approach, with teachers and AI working in tandem, means the technology is designed to augment teaching, not replace it.
