Exam revision, rebuilt on the science of learning.
Kinetix diagnoses what each student does not yet know, teaches it through interactive lessons, and sustains daily practice through a structured reward system. We are launching with IB Diploma Physics and building for every major secondary curriculum.
Most revision is passive.
Students spend most of their revision time rereading and highlighting, techniques the research rates as low utility. The techniques rated highest, practice testing and spaced practice, are rarely built into the tools students use.

One adaptive loop.
Every student moves through the same five stages, and each stage produces the data that shapes the next.
1Diagnose
An adaptive assessment maps mastery across the syllabus.
2Plan
Priorities are set by impact and by the time remaining before the exam.
3Learn by doing
Interactive lessons in which students predict, sort and decide.
4Practise
Spaced retrieval practice, reinforced by streaks, XP and multipliers.
5Re-measure
Mastery is reassessed and the plan updated every week.
Grounded in the strongest evidence in learning science.

These results are drawn from published research, not from Kinetix, which has not yet launched.
Designed for learning, not conversation.
Recent trials of AI tutoring show mixed results. A purpose-built tutor at Harvard more than doubled median learning gains, while general-purpose chat tools have shown little benefit and, in some cases, lower grades. Outcomes depend on design. Kinetix is built around structured practice and retrieval rather than open-ended chat.

Built by people who know the problem.
Kinetix was founded by students who have lived the problem: preparing for high-stakes final exams with tools that were never designed around how people learn. We are now speaking with early investors.
