A thinking partner for your classroom.
Kidtual is a Socratic AI mentor built for inquiry-based teaching. Meko doesn't do the homework for students — it grows their thinking.
3 classroom recipes
Post one topic on the board. Each student opens Kidtual and explores with Meko for 10 minutes. Debrief 3 insights as a class.
Assign a debate motion. Half the class explores 'for' with Meko, half 'against'. Students arrive at debate day with their own arguments, not scripts.
End of unit: 'What did we get wrong?' Students Socratically explore the misconception with Meko. Export the conversation to PDF as a reflection artifact.

Frequently asked questions
How can teachers use Kidtual in the classroom?
Teachers can use Kidtual as a Socratic thinking partner for self-directed exploration. Assign a topic — 'why did Rome fall?' — and have each student explore it with Meko for 15 minutes. Kidtual won't hand out the answer; the student has to reason. Then debrief as a class. This is ideal for civics, science, ELA and any inquiry-based lesson.
Does Kidtual work for homework help?
Kidtual is not a traditional homework helper. It won't complete a worksheet for a student. It will help the student think through the problem step by step by asking follow-up questions. That's the opposite of what ChatGPT does — and much closer to what a great tutor does.
Is there a teacher dashboard?
A dedicated teacher/classroom dashboard is on the roadmap. Today, teachers can create a personal Kidtual account and preview any topic with Meko before assigning it to their class. Bulk classroom accounts and rostering are planned.
Is Kidtual free for classrooms?
Kidtual's Curious plan is free forever for individuals — including teachers evaluating it. Bulk classroom pricing will be announced once the teacher dashboard ships.
