Standard AI against Nova
Same problem.Opposite outcome.
Watch an ordinary chatbot finish a homework problem in one shot, then watch Nova walk a child to the same answer without ever saying it.
Same homework problem
A shirt costs $40. It's 25% off. What's the sale price?
Standard AI
Hands over the answer
Your child
A shirt costs $40. It's 25% off. What's the sale price?
Standard AI
The sale price is $30. (25% of $40 is $10, so $40 − $10 = $30.) Want me to do the next one too?
The work is done. The learning never happened.
Nova
Makes them solve it themselves
Your child
A shirt costs $40. It's 25% off. What's the sale price?
Nova
Good one. Before any math: what does “25% off” actually mean for the price? Does it go up or down?
Your child
Down. You take some off.
Nova
Right. So first: how much is 25% of $40? Take your best swing, even a guess.
Your child
Um… a quarter of 40 is 10?
Nova
That’s exactly the move. So if $10 comes off the $40… what’s the shirt cost now?
Your child
$30!
Nova
You got there yourself. Notice what we did: you found the discount first, then subtracted. That’s the pattern for any sale.
Same answer. Your child did the thinking, and kept it.
Built for parents to trust
Screen time thatmakes them sharper.
Four things that are true of every session, not features on a roadmap.
Socratic by design
Nova answers questions with questions. It guides your child to the answer every time and hands it over never, because the refusal is built into how it works rather than bolted on as a rule.
Thinking first, then help
Nova asks for your child's own attempt before it assists. The order is the entire point, and it is what protects the learning.
Nothing hidden from you
No black box. The way Nova teaches is exactly what you would want to hear over your child's shoulder: calm, curious, and always leaving the work to them.
Bounded and age aware
Nova stays inside the lesson and adapts its tone to your child's age. A coach with guardrails, held to the subject in front of it.
