An AI learning coach, in development
Practice starts with their schoolwork.
A closer look at where your child gets stuck, and what to practice next. Built around their work, their thinking, and the skills underneath.
Math and reading for elementary learners
Adding fractions
Count the pieces.
Keep their size.
A fraction mistake may point to an earlier skill.
Illustrative work and suggested focus
A wrong answer is a starting point.
The useful question is what led to it. Sidekick is being built to connect a child’s work with the skill they need to practice next.
How Sidekick works
Their work sets
the next step.
One focused activity, with a reason behind it.
Start with the work they’ve already tried
The answer is one clue.
The steps tell us more.
Work and explanations can suggest a pattern. Unclear handwriting needs a second look.
A likely gap, followed by a check
Do the pieces change size
when we add them?
A short follow-up question helps check whether this is the right skill to practice.
Try a sample activity
How many fifths altogether?
Same whole. Same-sized pieces.
Choose an answer to check your thinking.
The skill behind the question
An earlier skill can be
the missing piece.
Trouble with fractions may start with how equal parts fit into a whole. Sidekick’s skill graph is designed to trace those connections across grades.
A skill to investigate, with evidence to check it.

Illustrative skill connections
Count equal-sized
fraction pieces
A repeated pattern in fraction answers. A follow-up check helps confirm the focus.
Combine pieces without changing their size.
For families
See what they’re
working on. And why.
We’re building a useful view of your child’s practice, with a learning history that stays under a parent account.
- See the evidence behind a suggestion.
- Follow practice across sessions.
- Revisit skills before moving on.
The aim: continuity, even when a class or school changes.
A few useful answers
About Sidekick
Is Sidekick available yet?
Sidekick is in development. You can explore how it works and try the sample activity on this page. These examples use prepared results.
Which subjects and ages are you starting with?
We’re starting with math and reading for elementary learners, focusing on the skills behind their current schoolwork.
How does Sidekick use a student’s thinking?
The planned system looks at written steps and explanations alongside the final answer. A photo can suggest a pattern. Follow-up questions help test it, without assigning a child an overall grade level from one piece of work.
How will the activities adapt?
AI will adjust examples, questions, and hints within tested activity templates for a selected skill. Students can choose a format, and responses and later review will inform what comes next.
Will it do my child’s homework for them?
The focus is to understand where a student gets stuck, then offer questions and activities they work through themselves. The goal is practice they can apply to the next problem.

they bring home.
