If someone were to tell you that AI could help with studies and education, you’d most likely picture your kid just typing their assignments into ChatGPT with the prompt, “solve this for me”. But AI doesn’t have to be just a machine churning out answers.
Used the right way, it could guide students through concepts in an easily digestible manner, pinpoint exactly where they’re struggling, and personalise practice based on their progress – instead of giving them a one-size-fits-all activity sheet like schools and tuition centres do.
That’s the idea behind Pyramid, an AI-powered edutech platform developed right here in Singapore, so you know it’s as relevant to our local syllabuses as possible. It also covers Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary syllabuses, meaning one single subscription can unlock educational help across all subjects and levels. Think of all the savings that add up as compared to paying for tuition every year, for each individual subject! There are functions in Pyramid that will benefit students, teachers, and parents alike. Here’s how it works:
Rather than functioning as just another AI chatbot, Pyramid revolves around a simple learning cycle: learn, practise, analyse. The platform is made up of different AI frameworks, powered by renowned AI models including Gemini, Claude, and good ol’ ChatGPT – among others. Here’s a walkthrough of each Pyramid function, and how that correlates to each stage of the learning cycle.
Students can kick things off with Classroom agents, which generates study materials and even simulates an interactive AI classroom from a single prompt, set of notes, or lesson plan.
The immersive visuals – from friendly teacher personas you’re able to select yourself to virtual peers to interact and discuss with you – allow you to really lock in, as opposed to just reading strings of text off a screen.
For targeted, 1-on-1 support, there’s Deeptutor – an AI mentor designed to act like a personal tutor. Instead of spoon-feeding answers, Deeptutor guides students step-by-step through tough problems, asking prompting questions to help them uncover solutions on their own and build long-term retention.
Best of all, students and parents can fully customise their tutor by uploading their own study materials, whether it’s school notes, reference books, or exam papers. This ensures every hint, explanation, and study session stays strictly aligned with the student’s specific syllabus and learning needs.
For parents who are tired of buying endless stacks of assessment books only to use three pages, Pyramid offers a smarter, all-in-one solution. With just one single subscription, students get unlimited access to a massive question bank spanning every subject and topic for Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary level syllabuses.
Instead of getting locked into a rigid grade level, kids can learn entirely at their own pace, whether they need to revisit foundational topics from lower levels or fast-track ahead. Plus, with smart analytics tracking performance right down to specific topic weaknesses, you’ll never have to guess where your child needs extra practice.
Once it’s time to put those concepts into practice, The Arena automatically adjusts question difficulty based on a student’s performance, helping them steadily improve. No more dejection from the get-go ‘cause a student is stumped by level 99 questions in Chapter 1 – it’s a steady climb here that’s precisely tailored to each individual, and doesn’t have to leave anyone behind so the rest of the class can progress first.
The Colosseum is perfect for those with a competitive streak. It’s where teachers post quiz questions for multiplayer battles. Simply key in a room PIN the way you do when entering a real multiplayer game, and you’ll get to slay revision questions and claim your top spot on the leaderboard for maximum bragging rights.
The questions will be posted by teachers using Pyramid, and they’ll get to host Colosseum sessions for students to join. All the questions will then be marked and graded, so you’re not just having a fun and gamified revision session, but will get to see your performance and analytics afterwards.
The Automarker works for all formats, be it through written text, uploaded photos, and even on-screen drawings.
Waiting days – or weeks – to find out what went wrong on a paper is a thing of the past. Pyramid’s AI Automarker instantly grades everything from basic MCQs and open-ended questions to full English compositions. The moment a student submits their work, they get immediate, detailed feedback so they can fix mistakes while the concept is still fresh in their minds.
Behind the scenes, the system automatically records, grades, and analyses every attempt, spotting trends in performance so students know exactly where they stand. And for educators? It slashes marking hours significantly, freeing up precious time to focus on what matters most: actually teaching.
Instead of simply saying your child is “weak in Math”, Pyramid’s analytics dashboard drills down into the exact topics they’re struggling with, making revision much more targeted.
It provides a lot more insight and actionable recommendations than the standard report card or feedback from an external tutor. This is understandable, considering the teacher-student ratio at schools and tuition centres. Such instances are examples of where AI’s prowess really shines, and allows each and every student to receive deep and rich AI-backed analyses.
Everything is tied together by Thoth, Pyramid’s AI chatbot. Unlike generic AI tools, it understands the exact question the student is working on based on the subject, chapter, and exact learning outcome in accordance with MOE’s syllabus.
This means you wouldn’t be taking a shot in the dark and hoping that an AI tool with a default international setting would be able to grasp it and understand what the answer requires in a locally examinable context.
Plus, combined with Pyramid’s memories of each user’s learning history recorded in the database – right down to your strengths, weaknesses, and presentation of info that you’ve historically responded the best to – Thoth is able to provide guidance and explanations in a hyper-personalised way.
If your kid works better away from screens or needs a break from digital devices, Pyramid has you covered with its Worksheet Generator. With just a few clicks, you can instantly create and print customised, paper-based worksheets tailored specifically to the exact topics and weak spots your child needs to master. There’s no stress over marking, either, because every generated set comes complete with step-by-step answers and explanations, making pen-and-paper revision effortless at home or on the go.
Education can at once be a messy and intertwined, yet inconveniently separated affair for students, teachers, and parents. You’ve got students who each have different capability levels and learning styles, teachers who are stretched undeniably thin, and parents who want nothing more than to be able to support their child’s learning journey, but struggle to find out how and where to begin.
Pyramid is an AI education tool that not only focuses on making learning simple and enjoyable for students, but also helps to minimise the load on teachers wherever possible so they can focus on bigger aspects of teaching that explicitly require a human touch, and also bridge the gaps between parents and their child’s scholastic progress.
The personalised guidance, targeted practice, and instant feedback for students is a major plus in teachers’ and parents’ books. But to make sure that students even want to use it in the first place, the immersive and gamified elements of Pyramid certainly have that on lock.
