How LegUp picks the next step
Today, clear rules. Next, a model that learns what helps.
Every day LegUp picks three short lessons for your child: what’s due for review, then what’s new. We’re also building a learning model to choose the right kind of help inside each lesson.
Not in use yet. No trained LegUp model is choosing anything today, and none has been shown to improve learning.
Today
Three lessons a day, picked by clear rules.
Two new ideas and one review, in about 20 minutes. The same rules run on the tablet and on our server, and the plan holds still all day.
Reviews that are due
A miss comes back before a faded right answer, then whatever is most overdue.
New ideas in order
The rest of the day is new concepts, unit by unit, taking turns between subjects.
Your focus first
In the grown-up area you can give a weekday a subject, a unit or one concept. That day starts with it.
Their own choice
Your child can pick a subject on Home for a session in just that subject.
When a review comes back
Right answers wait longer. A miss comes back tomorrow.
Every graded concept sits in a box. A right answer moves it up a box, a miss drops it back to the first. Each box names the day it’s due again.
1
day later
After a miss.
3
days later
After one right answer.
7
days, then 14 days
As the right answers add up.
30
days later
For an idea they keep getting right.
Inside a lesson
Choosing the help comes before choosing the words.
A reply can sound kind and still not help. Deciding how to help and saying it well are two separate jobs, and the model is for the first one.
Today: the buddy’s words
When live AI is on, outside AI services read the handwriting and write the buddy’s explanations from the lesson your child is on.
Next: the teaching choice
The model we’re building will weigh what your child has done, including whether they got it after a hint or on their own, and pick the help that fits.
Always: the answer key
Expected answers stay on LegUp’s server. Replies about graded work are checked against the key before your child sees them.
Examples
Different moments need different help.
A plain “try again” is rarely what a child needs. Pick a moment to see the teaching choice and the words that follow.
What the child did
Asked how to start drawing a shape.
Teaching choice
A small hint, not the finished drawing.
Buddy words
“Let’s find one corner. Put your pen there, then draw just the first side.”
What the child did
Still mixed up sides and corners after an explanation.
Teaching choice
Teach it again with a new example.
Buddy words
“Imagine walking around a shape. A side is a path. A corner is where you turn. Let’s walk around a different shape together.”
What the child did
Got it right with a little help.
Teaching choice
Check with a new try on their own before moving on.
Buddy words
“You found it with a little help. Shall we try a new one with your own lines?”

Before it’s used
The model has to beat today’s rules first.
Simple rules already note which help they would suggest, so we can study them. Those notes don’t change anything on the tablet yet.
Built: a learning record
Each answer, hint and outcome is recorded. Only work from children whose training consent is on is exported for training, under a pseudonym.
Built: reviewers and a test
Two reviewers label each example without seeing each other’s answer. A test scores the rules and other AI models on the same examples.
Next: a checked set of examples
500 learning examples reviewed twice, then 5,000, to train on and to test with.
Then: only if it does better
The model is tried only when it beats the current approach on examples it has never seen. A right answer after a hint doesn’t count as doing it alone.
Your say
You decide whether your child’s work helps train it.
Training consent is on during the closed beta, and a grown-up can switch it off anytime. A child’s name is never built into a model.
The child still does the writing, drawing and trying again. LegUp works alongside you and their teachers. It doesn’t replace your judgment.
Off whenever you say
Switch it off and nothing new goes to training.
Behind the PIN
Only a grown-up can change it.
