What they're building
A conversational AI tutor/examiner/classroom assistant that adapts to each student and aligns to specific exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, CIE, IB). Uses handwriting recognition to mark practice answers and gives feedback, built on proprietary knowledge base plus neuroscience and teaching theory.
Why this matters
Nearly a third of UK 11–16-year-olds get private tutoring; Medly aims to democratize that. Founders are former NHS doctors from low-income backgrounds — credible, mission-aligned team. The government contract and institutional partners de-risk distribution.
