01
Safety is not a lockout
A student who raises something hard still gets the support they came for. Cutting them off closes the one door that was open, and tells the school nothing.
Safety & compliance
Governed AI is auditable AI.
Aegis is a governed AI assistant for students and staff, with the school's policy, review and records around it. The safety model is the reason it exists, and it is built for the questions a principal, a governance officer or a parent will ask.
What every request meets
Five guarantees, in plain terms.
What the school is buying, and what it can hold us to.
- 01
Within policy
Every request and response is reviewed against the school's policy before anything reaches a student. The policy is the school's; the platform holds to it.
- 02
Safeguarded
Protection tightens with each stage, so the youngest students get the strongest safeguards. They follow the individual student, not the class.
- 03
Verified
Nothing reaches a student unchecked. There is no single unverified response.
- 04
Recorded
Every exchange is kept on the school's record, where the school can read it.
- 05
Seen by people
Concerns surface to a teacher, never just to a machine, and the student keeps the support they came for. Escalation follows the school's own process, with what was said attached.
Design principles
Rules we build to.
02
Student safety is the product
Risk monitoring, safeguards by age and audit trails were built first, not added once schools started asking.
03
The school stays in control
The school sets the policy that requests and responses are reviewed against, what is recorded, and who is told when something is off. Down to the individual student, not just the class.
04
Visible, and auditable
Every student exchange is kept on the school's record, and the school can read it. Unmonitored AI is a blind spot.
05
Data questions have answers
Who can see a student's data, how long it is kept, and how it gets deleted on request. Answered in the product, not on a privacy policy page.
06
The learning plan is the student
Every student's AI works from their own learning plan: the goals, adjustments and support that follow the individual, not the class average.
07
Answers know the school
Aegis answers from the school's own context: its people, its places, how it operates. A student who needs help is pointed to a real person they can walk to, by name.
What the school keeps
Built to fit what the school already runs.
School-level controls, usage and incident reporting, and room to connect to the systems already in place.
The school keeps control of where its data lives and how it is protected.
Ask us the hard questions
