Questions, answered plainly.

AI Buddy is an all-in-one AI study companion for CBSE students in Classes 5–12. Each student gets AI Teachers by text or voice, the AI Whiteboard, AI Lessons and podcasts on their own chapter, with board-style practice marked like an examiner. Teachers and parents see where each child is stuck, so gaps get closed before the exam.

AI Buddy is built to explain, not to hand over. The AI Teacher works through the steps, checks the student understood, and says plainly whether an answer is right, partly right or wrong. When a student says a test is on, it gives hints, not answers.

Names, emails and phone numbers are removed before a student's words reach an AI service, personal details a child types are blocked, answers are screened for safety, and every answer has a Report button. There are no ads and no tracking.

Families can start free on the web, with no card. Plus is AED 109.99 a month for the whole family, up to 4 children, once the apps open. Schools pay per student per month, billed per academic year, after a 30-day pilot. See plans and prices.

AI Buddy follows the CBSE syllabus for Classes 5–12. Classes 5–10: Mathematics, Science, English, Social Science and Hindi. Classes 11–12: Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics; Accountancy, Business Studies and Economics; and English. Sanskrit, Physical Education and the arts aren't covered.

Yes. AI Buddy follows the CBSE syllabus, chapter by chapter. It doesn't cover ICSE, state boards or other curricula. AI Buddy isn't affiliated with or endorsed by CBSE.

AI Buddy is built to explain, not to hand over. The AI Teacher works through the steps and checks your child understood. When your child says a test is on, it gives hints, not answers. And you see their practice results, so you'll know whether the understanding is really there. A determined child can still ask for a final answer, which is why you see the results and can switch AI off for any child.

No. Your child's chats with the AI tutor stay private: teachers and parents see progress, not the conversations. If a child writes something that suggests they're at risk, the right adult is alerted, without the chat being shared.

AI time has a daily limit: 15 minutes a day on Free, 2 hours on Plus, 3 hours on Premium. Podcasts, AI Lessons and reading don't count towards it. These are ceilings, not targets. Streaks count days with real learning, and badges reward what your child learns, never time spent.

Every child at home gets 15 minutes of AI help a day, for as long as you like, with no card:

• the AI Teachers, by typing
• a Learning Path built from their own results
• a practice test a day that shows what to work on
• chapter podcasts
• and for you, their week in plain words

Plus adds 2 hours a day for each child, voice, the AI Whiteboard, AI Lessons and board-style written answers marked point by point.

That's your choice. AI Buddy is help between lessons: the night before the test, the chapter tuition hasn't reached yet, the question your child was embarrassed to ask. Either way, you'll see where your child is stuck.

It can, like any teacher can. That's why it works from your child's CBSE chapter, not the whole internet, and every answer has a Report button that a person reviews. So check important facts with the teacher or the textbook, which is what we tell children too.

Seven languages: English, Hindi, Arabic, Kannada, Urdu, Russian and Chinese; Malayalam and Tamil aren't available yet. Today AI Buddy works in any phone or computer browser. The iPhone and Android apps open soon. There's no iPad app yet.

No. You add them in your app and pair their phone with a 6-digit code. If their school uses AI Buddy, the school gives them a login.

New subscribers can try Plus or Premium free for 7 days. Before you start, you see the exact date the trial ends and what you'll pay after it. We remind you 2 days before it ends. Cancel at least 24 hours before it ends and you pay nothing.

AI Lessons can be downloaded for offline study. Asking the AI Teachers and getting practice marked need the internet.

Yes. AI Buddy follows the CBSE syllabus chapter by chapter for Classes 5–12, and practice follows the board's question types. AI Buddy is aligned with the syllabus; it is not affiliated with or endorsed by CBSE.

The AI Teacher explains step by step and checks understanding; when a student says a test is on, it gives hints, not answers. Teachers see practice results, so missing understanding shows up. You can also switch the AI tutors off below any class.

Yes. Most schools start with their board classes, Class 10 and Class 12, and add the rest for the new academic year.

Accounts are created from your roster, with logins the school gives each student. Sign-in through your school's own identity system isn't available yet.

It is built to take work away. Our team sets up the pilot, parent invites go to a whole class at once, and the lesson builder starts from the class's own results. Teachers see only the subjects they teach.

No. AI Buddy is help between lessons: the evening, the weekend, the question a student was embarrassed to ask. Teachers stay in charge, and they see what happened.

From your roster. Each parent gets a personal invite from the school, by link, QR code or code, and confirms it is their child. There is no shared school code. Students sign in with a login the school gives them.

Yes. You choose the youngest class that gets the AI tutors, and parents can switch AI off for their own child. Lessons, practice and marking keep working either way.

Any phone or computer. AI Buddy works on the web, and the Student, Teacher and Parent apps are for iPhone and Android. There is no iPad app yet.

Nothing. The 30-day pilot is set up by our team for your board classes, with a scorecard agreed before it starts. After the pilot, school plans are priced per student per month, billed per academic year.

Most schools pay from their technology budget. Some include it in the next year's fee structure, which needs deciding between January and March; in the UAE fee changes follow the regulator's rules, so check before proposing one.

No. There is no teacher score. Class Pulse and the Class Report are about your students: who needs help and on what.

Yes, like any teacher can. It works from the CBSE chapter, not the web, every answer has a Report button that a person reviews, and students are told to check important facts with you or the textbook.

Yes. Every plan is a starting point built from your class's results. You edit it, then share the student handout and the parents' copy if you want to.

The AI Teacher explains step by step and checks understanding. When a student says a test is on, it gives hints, not answers. And you see their practice results, so you know whether the understanding is there.

AI Buddy works best when your school runs it, so your classes, students and parents are linked properly. Tell us about your school and we will arrange a walkthrough.

It is built for that. Answers are screened for safety, personal details are blocked, every answer has a Report button, and a child who writes about self-harm or abuse gets a caring reply with helplines while the right adult is alerted. You choose whether your child can use the AI tutors at all.

No. Teachers and parents see progress, results and where the child is stuck, not the conversations. Safety alerts never include the chat.

No. There are no ads in AI Buddy, no advertising IDs and no third-party analytics in the apps.

AI Buddy's tutors are AI Buddy's own: our teaching, safety screening and syllabus on top of carefully chosen AI services. Schools receive the list of those services, and where they process data, privately under the data processing agreement. They receive the question and the chapter, never a name, email or phone number.

In the AI Buddy Parent app you can delete a child, or your whole account, at any time. You can also ask on the web, and we handle it within 30 days.

Family plans are bought in the AI Buddy Parent app through the App Store or Google Play, so your store account handles payment, receipts, renewals and cancelling. We never take card details on a website.

Yes. The yearly price is exactly ten times the monthly price.

Up to 4 children at home. Each child gets the plan's daily AI time, so one sibling never uses up another's. Voice minutes are shared by the family.

In your App Store or Google Play settings; the "Manage subscription" button in the app takes you there. Your plan runs to the end of the period you have paid for, then you are on Free, and your child keeps everything they have done.

Family prices include VAT, as your store shows them. School prices exclude VAT.

Yes. A common start is the board classes on Premium and the other classes on Essential. Every plan includes the three apps, the web platform and the school's controls.

Two, from 2026: a compulsory first exam in February and an optional second exam in May to improve performance. Confirm each year's dates and rules on cbse.gov.in.

Up to three, from Science, Mathematics, Social Science and the languages. The better of the two scores counts.

No. The February exam is compulsory; the May exam is optional, for students who want to improve.

Treat February as the main exam. Find the gaps early with board-style practice, close one a week, and decide after the February results whether to retake up to three subjects in May.
