For instructors & universities
AI help that teaches from what you assigned.
Students already use AI to get through school. Polya turns that help into a tutor — one that teaches from what you assigned, follows a study mode everyone can see, and shows its sources on every answer.
One dial, four positions
Every course has a study mode. Today students choose it for each course; Polya's behavior follows immediately, and the active mode shows in every conversation. Instructor-set modes aren't available yet. If you'd like to set the mode for your course, get in touch.
Full answers allowed on request — a fit for self-study, review-heavy courses, and contexts where getting unstuck fast matters more than the struggle.
Hints and steps first; full solutions held back until the student engages. The default stance for problem-set courses.
Quiz stance: Polya never reveals an answer before the student commits one. Built for exam prep and the week an assignment is live.
Post-deadline: full worked solutions plus suggested next practice, so a finished assignment becomes a study asset.
Grounded in what you assigned
Polya tutors from your course materials — the readings, slides, pages, and lecture recordings — in the language and notation you teach with. When you've taught a method, Polya follows your method: a student who asks which statistical test to use gets walked through the decision procedure from your slides, not a generic recipe from the internet.
Every claim carries a citation a student can open — the exact page, slide, or lecture moment. Verifiable help builds the habit you actually want in your students: checking the source.
Transparent by design
The study mode is visible in every conversation, so the amount of help is never a secret. Polya is built to be adopted, not banned: a sanctioned way for students to get help that actually teaches.
Academic integrity
Polya's stance is simple: help should build understanding, not shortcut it. What counts as permitted help remains your call, and we want to build the controls that make that call real inside the tool your students use. Tell us what you'd need.
