Cognii

Cognii is an artificial intelligence platform designed for educational and training contexts, serving organizations in K-12, higher education, and corporate training markets. Its primary function is to enable personalized online education through an AI-based virtual tutor and grading tool specifically for short essays. The product engages students in a chatbot-style learning conversation, prompting them to construct answers in their own words. It provides immediate assessment and tutoring feedback, allows for multiple practice attempts until concepts are mastered, and is accessible anytime. Key capabilities include open response assessments that move beyond multiple-choice questions to support critical thinking, and formative assessment that assesses for learning. For educators, the platform reduces the grading burden, provides deeper insight into student learning, and helps personalize instruction. For organizations, it offers a practical method to implement high-quality education and credentialing, with the stated aims of improving student engagement, retention, and outcomes, while scaling the number of students and reducing costs. The system also provides pedagogically rich analytics to support these processes.
