Key Facts

Company Description

Abundant intelligence is only helpful if the intelligence actually does what is required to achieve the goals. TreadEd helps channel the intelligence that is becoming abundant with Generative AI to the purposes of actually helping people learn. We do this by building bridges between educators and genAI - handing the reins on content back to humans.

Product/Service Description

TreadEd is an author tool and platform that makes generative AI an interactive "educational medium" - educators plan how a productive tutoring interaction should go; and AI follows this plan.
