Tutory tackles the problem that affordable chatbots make every assignment look finished. Rather than trying to detect AI writing, it changes the shape of the assignment: there is no page to hand in. The teacher uploads the reading, unit or lesson; Tutory drafts assessment criteria from what is actually in that material, and the teacher keeps, edits or rewrites them. Then every student in the class talks the material through with a tutor of their own, and the next question depends on what that student actually said.
The grading loop is deliberately teacher-controlled. Each criterion comes back tagged to the specific turn that earned it, so the teacher can see the reasoning behind every mark, and Tutory never assigns a grade itself. Alongside the assessment runs a teaching assistant that has read every conversation in the class and answers questions such as who is falling behind this week or what should be retaught, citing the turns that support each answer.
The platform is rounded out by Studio, a shared whiteboard the tutor can sketch and annotate on beside each student, and Pages, where teachers write lessons with an assistant that suggests edits in place and publish them to the class or the web. Tutory is aimed at schools and school divisions, with a free tier for a teacher and up to five students, a per-teacher-per-student paid plan, and an organisation plan with admin dashboards, data residency and single sign-on.
