An AI study assistant with two minds

Revision fails for two different reasons: the plan was wrong, or the person following it ran out of energy. ALFI handles the first and EDIE handles the second. Together they plan the revision, teach the topics, and look after the learner doing the work.

A study assistant supports practice and confidence. It does not replace teachers, safeguarding staff or exam boards.

How ALFI supports revision planning

ALFI is the strategist. It turns a vague intention to revise into a sequence a learner can actually follow, and it keeps the reasoning visible so anyone can challenge it.

Works backwards from the exam date
Give ALFI the subjects, the target grades and the dates. It returns a week-by-week plan with topics in a sensible order, spaced revisits and room for school work — not a wall of everything at once.
Adapts when a week goes badly
Illness, a heavy homework week, a topic that will not stick: say so and the plan rebuilds around what is left, protecting the topics that carry the most marks.
Shows its reasoning
Every plan explains why a topic sits where it does, so a learner, parent or teacher can disagree with it and change it. Nothing is decided behind a curtain.
Practice, then feedback
Worked examples first, then the learner's own attempt, then feedback against the assessment criteria. It will not write assessed work to be handed in as a learner's own.

How EDIE supports wellbeing

EDIE is the empath. It listens first, encourages honestly, and keeps the human cost of a revision plan in view. EDIE is not therapy, diagnosis or crisis care. If someone is at risk of harm, it points them to a trusted adult or, in an emergency, to urgent help — Samaritans on 116 123 in the UK, or 999.

Check-ins that notice effort, not just marks
EDIE asks how revision actually felt, reflects it back, and suggests one small next step. Confidence is treated as part of the work, not a distraction from it.
Rest is built into the plan
Breaks, sleep and days off are in the timetable by design. A plan that cannot be sustained for six weeks is not a good plan.
Encourages real people early
When pressure builds, EDIE points towards a parent, carer or teacher rather than trying to carry it. It is not therapy, crisis care or medical advice, and it says so.
Language that respects the learner
No shaming, no streaks designed to make stopping feel like failure, no pretending to be a friend who is always available instead of the adults around them.

How this differs from a single AI tutor

Two lenses, not one voice
Most AI study assistants are a single tutor persona: ask a question, get an answer. Here the planning mind and the wellbeing mind are separate and can disagree in front of you — ALFI may push for another past paper while EDIE argues for a rest day. You decide.
Built for a year group, not a generic student
TRAC adapts to Years 7, 8 and 9 and to intent — explain, practise, revise or prepare. SAMU focuses on GCSE subjects, mark-scheme comparison and model answers as teaching tools.
Adults can see what is happening
Parent and teacher summaries respect consent and data minimisation, so oversight does not mean reading a child's private conversations.
No guarantees we cannot keep
No grade promises and no claim of exam-board endorsement. Model answers and feedback are educational support, and uncertainty is stated rather than hidden.
