Spark
A Tutor from ThoughtPartner
A guide that helps you learn to think — not an oracle that thinks instead of you.
Invited pilot
Spark is in a closed pilot with a small group of Danish families and schools while we complete the safety and compliance groundwork a children's product deserves. Join the waitlist to help shape it — this is a co-creation.
The difference
It won't just give you the answer.
Guides, never does
No finished homework, no written essay. Your tutor works on similar problems and builds with you — you always take the final step.
Anti-cheating is the lesson
“Just give me the answer” gets a warm no — and an explanation of why. That restraint is how you learn to use AI as a partner, not an oracle.
Grows with you
Your tutor rates your progress and raises the difficulty to keep you at the edge of what you can do — where learning actually happens.
When you're stuck
Help, one rung at a time.
1
A nudge
A guiding question to get you unstuck — no more than you need.
2
A strategy
Which idea or method applies here — pointing, not solving.
3
A worked analogous example
A fully worked problem that's similar to yours — never yours.
4
Building it together
Step by step, where you fill in each step yourself.
✕
The finished answer to your task
Never. That last step is always yours — that's the whole point.
Aligned to Fælles Mål
Progress is mapped to the Danish curriculum, tracked as mastery you can watch climb.
Motivating, not manipulative
Levels, streaks and quests tuned to genuinely motivate — never dark patterns.
Learn to use AI well
Verify, question, spot when the AI is unsure — woven into every subject and taught outright.
What Spark is for
Spark helps with classic subjects and, just as importantly, teaches the skill school hasn't caught up with yet: how to use AI to actually learn, instead of to skip the learning.
Spark is for students in Danish udskoling and gymnasium (ages 13–19) who want a thinking partner, not an answer machine. It is currently in an invited pilot.
Who it's for
Danish students aged 13–19 — udskoling and gymnasium. More subjects follow in later releases.
You self-consent to a Spark account from age 13. Younger learners, and a full parent companion, follow in a later release.
How it sounds
Den Faglige Modstander
Rigorous pushback. Models verification uncertainty and never pretends to be certain when it isn't.
[Example dialogue TBD from F23 — the Den Faglige Modstander voice declines warmly and offers a guiding question.]
Stjernen, Bjørnen, and Træner — for younger learners — are coming in a later release with under-13 support.
What Spark promises
It guides. It never does the task.
When you're stuck, your tutor walks up a ladder of help — only as far as you need: a nudge, a hint, a worked example of a similar problem, or building the solution step by step with you. The finished answer to your own work is never handed over. That restraint is the lesson.
It rates your progress and ramps the difficulty.
Your tutor tracks how you're doing against the Danish curriculum (Fælles Mål) and raises the challenge to keep you at the edge of what you can do — the zone where learning actually happens.
It teaches you to use AI well.
Verify, don't trust. Ask better questions. Spot when the AI is wrong. These aren't extras — they are woven into every subject and sit at the centre of what Spark is.
Join the Spark pilot
Spark is in a closed pilot right now — we're onboarding a small number of families while we complete the safety and privacy work a children's product in Denmark requires. Join the waitlist and we'll be in touch.
Privacy and safety
Responsible by design
- The guardrail is built in and cannot be removed — your tutor will never hand over your homework.
- Your learning lives in your own space — not shared, not harvested, never used to train models.
- Guardian oversight tools are coming — progress, milestones, and controls — as part of a later release.
