Imagine every student getting a 24/7 teaching assistant who knows their strengths, weaknesses, and pace, and quietly adjusts homework, hints, and explanations just for them. This Dartmouth work shows that AI can realistically play that role for large classes at once.
Traditional teaching struggles to personalize instruction for large, diverse classes. The AI system addresses this by automatically tailoring explanations, practice problems, and feedback to each student, improving outcomes without requiring proportional increases in instructor time.
Pedagogical research data from real students, domain-specific content and feedback loops, and deep integration into course workflows (LMS, assignments, assessments) that make the tool sticky for institutions.

Dartmouth’s work emphasizes rigorous, controlled study results showing that AI-driven personalization can match or exceed traditional instruction at scale in a real university environment, which differentiates it from generic ‘AI tutor’ marketing claims.
