Learning
Copy-and-paste answers mean the work gets finished and the thinking doesn’t happen.
Trailpost answers, then shows the source, so checking becomes the lesson.
Now recruiting pilot schools
The AI tutor that shows its sources.
Answers come only from content your school approved, with the source one tap away. Students check it, then do the thinking themselves.
AI tutoring for schools in Canada and the US.
The problem
Students are outsourcing their thinking.
When AI hands over the answer, students skip the part where learning happens.
Privacy
Student questions often end up in consumer AI apps the school can’t see. With Trailpost they stay under your school’s rules, and your school’s own instance uses no outside AI.
Safety
What does a student see when they say they’re struggling, and no adult is watching?
The solution
A tutor, not an answer machine.
Answers you can check.
Answers come only from approved sources, with citations.
Meets you where you are.
It asks what you know, gives a hint, or shows a similar example before it explains.
Checks it stuck.
After an answer, a quick task: recall it, explain it back, or try a new case.
Trust
Built for safety and trust
Your own instance when you sign on
During the beta, an AI model service writes the answers. Your school’s own instance uses no outside AI.
Hosted in your region
Your data stays in your region, under a data-processing agreement.
Approved content only
Answers draw on licence-cleared material, with sources shown.
Never poses as human
Students always know they are talking to Trailpost, not a person.
Alerts your school
Concerning messages are flagged to a designated staff member.

The evidence
AI is already in the room.
Students aren’t waiting for schools to decide. The research says most are already using AI for schoolwork — with no one teaching them how.
Most students are already using AI. Almost none have been taught to check it.
27%
of teens say a teacher has talked with them about using AI safely. 73% have not.
