They are proposing innovative solutions related to the world of education and artificial intelligence. This article was created with the help of Ilaria Farrugia Pace, another Pulse Z ambassador!

A+ Intelligence – AI at the service of teachers

The topic of artificial intelligence in schools is much discussed today, but thanks to this Swedish startup we were able to delve into a new point of view.
 A+ Intelligence stands out from common school AI solutions because it focuses not so much on the student as on the teacher.

“Professors have a lot to do, and since students are already using AI, we thought that teachers should also have access to a similar tool.”

Starting from this reflection, the team has developed a platform that helps teachers correct homework and tests, saving time and being able to dedicate more attention to the relationship with students. AI, they are keen to underline, is not intended to replace the work of the teacher in any way: it is only a support tool .
It is easy to use: select the students’ school year, upload their homework, tell the AI ​​what to focus on, and the system returns errors, graphs, feedback with strengths and suggestions for improvement.

During the Gen-E expo, the project received a lot of positive feedback from teachers.

“It has already been tested on over 10,000 texts, but each teacher can customize its use based on their needs. The entire platform is built around the role of the teacher.”

Kevin AI – a Georgian digital tutor for computer science studies

Another project that has attracted a lot of attention in Athens is Kevin AI , submitted by a Georgian team and winner of the “Public Choice Award for the Upper-Secondary Level”, promoted by PPC.
 The startup offers a virtual assistant designed to support computer science learning among high school students and beyond, combining linguistic accessibility and advanced technology.

One of the most distinctive features is the exclusive use of the Georgian language : an element that is far from obvious, which allows thousands of students to interact with an artificial intelligence in their native language, without having to rely on foreign platforms or automatic translations.
 This is particularly important in a context where many STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) resources are not always available in the local language.

The operation is simple and immediate: students ask questions to the digital assistant and receive detailed explanations, examples, corrections and suggestions, with clear language adapted to the school level.
 The project aims to bridge the gap between the growing demand for IT skills and the difficulty for many students to access consistent and understandable support.

Kevin AI is therefore part of a broader attempt to democratize access to educational technology, promoting not only linguistic inclusion, but also socio-economic inclusion.
 According to its creators, the assistant could become a useful tool in other school contexts where English is a barrier, paving the way for new multilingual versions.

ConKrete – a search engine based on certified scientific sources

The third project stands out for a radically different approach to the use of artificial intelligence: not so much as a learning assistant, but as a tool to combat misinformation, starting from the very structure of linguistic models.
ConKrete is an Icelandic startup born from a critical observation: many generative AI tools, such as the most popular chatbots, produce responses based on popular or widely shared content, but not always reliable.

For this reason, the team has created a search engine – and eventually a real browser – based on a large language model trained exclusively on scientific publications and verified academic sources.
 The system is designed to generate informative responses starting from certified data and not from content randomly picked from the web. Unlike traditional AI, which can reflect algorithmic biases or virality dynamics, ConKrete focuses on the quality of the source: peer-reviewed articles, scientific journals, university databases.
 In this way, it becomes a useful tool not only for those who study or do research, but also for those who wish to delve into complex topics – from medicine to geopolitics – without incurring falsehoods or misleading simplifications.

The project is still under development, but the founders aim to make it open access and adaptable to different educational contexts, also as a support for university preparation and thesis writing.
 In an age marked by the proliferation of fake news and AI “hallucinations,” ConKrete offers a possible alternative: slower, perhaps, but more rigorous, and above all, more reliable.
