AI-generated explanations can be wrong. K12Buddy is a study aid — check important answers with your teacher, and it is not a substitute for doing your own schoolwork.

GRADE 7 · MATH

I don't get question 4 on my worksheet: 3x + 7 = 22.

Let's solve 3x + 7 = 22 together:

  1. 1. Subtract 7 from both sides → 3x = 15
  2. 2. Divide both sides by 3 → x = 5

Check it: 3 × 5 + 7 = 22 ✓ Want to try question 5 the same way?

What you get

One tutor. Six subjects. No ads.

On a school night, what matters is a clear explanation of the problem in front of your child. That's what K12Buddy is for.

Step-by-step AI tutor

An AI model explains problems step by step across math, science, English, history, computer science, and Spanish. Grade settings aren't built yet, so tell the tutor your child's grade or ask it to keep things simple.

Homework scanning: coming soon

Photo scanning is coming with the mobile app. On the website today, type the question in and the tutor works through it.

Parents in charge

A parent or teacher creates the account and decides how it gets used. Separate child profiles and a parent activity view are still being built.

How it works

Parents set it up. Kids get unstuck.

STEP 1

You create the account

A parent or teacher signs up with email or Google. It takes about a minute. We don't yet run an age check, so please set up the account yourself.

STEP 2

Your child asks anything

Type a question. The AI tutor explains the method step by step, and points and streaks reward practice.

STEP 3

You stay involved

Sit with your child or check in on what they're studying. A separate parent view is in progress, and we'll add it here when it ships.

Trust & safety

What's in place today,
and what isn't finished.

K12Buddy is designed with parents in charge. No AI tool is risk-free, so here's exactly what's in place right now.

The honest comparison

Kids are already using AI. The question is how.

General chatbots weren't built for children, and answer apps weren't built for parents. K12Buddy is being built for both.

Account required before a child can chat with AI Yes Varies Varies
Homework photo opens a tutoring chat Coming with the mobile app Varies Answer-focused
Automated safety rules on both sides of the chat Yes — basic rules General-purpose filters Varies

Questions, answered

What parents ask us

Is K12Buddy safe for my child?

We work at it, but no AI tool is risk-free. The AI tutor requires an account, sign-up is for parents and teachers, and automated rules check messages and replies. Those rules can miss things and AI can be wrong, so please stay involved. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Will it just hand over answers?

K12Buddy is built for understanding: it walks through problems step by step and rewards practice with points and streaks. It's not a substitute for doing the work, so we encourage you to check in on how your child uses it.

What does it cost?

The K12Buddy website is free during launch, with a daily question limit — no card required, and no ads. A mobile app is coming soon. If pricing ever changes, account holders will be told clearly and in advance.

What grades and subjects are covered?

K12Buddy is meant for students from kindergarten through 12th grade, across six subjects: math, science, English, history, computer science, and Spanish. Grade settings aren't built yet, so ask the tutor to match your child's level.

How does parental consent work?

Sign-up is for parents and teachers, who hold the account. We don't yet run an age check or independently verify consent, so please create the account yourself rather than letting a child sign up. You can email us to get a copy of your data or delete it at any time.

What happens to my family's data?

It stays yours. We don't sell personal data, and you can email support@cienrios.com to request a copy or deletion whenever you choose. The details are in our privacy policy.
