পড়াই: We teach

porAI is an AI-powered learning system that generates curriculum-aligned practice questions, explanations, and revision tools for students preparing for exams.

Bringing AI-powered learning to 43 million students in Bangladesh

porAI is an AI tutoring platform for students in Bangladesh, Class 6 through Class 10, built on NCTB textbooks and SSC board exam patterns. The AI revolution left Bangladesh behind. We are here to close that gap.

The Problem

A broken education cycle

Bangladesh has 43 million students and not enough qualified teachers. The system that emerged is built for passing exams, not for learning.

01
Exam-driven education

The goal is passing the exam. Memorizing is enough. Understanding is optional.

02
Recycled materials

The same guidebooks and problems are reused every year. Students memorize because it is the only path available.

03
Left out of the AI revolution

AI tools exist, but using them requires prompt engineering skills that most students here have never had the chance to learn.

!
The result

Students pass exams, then enter the workforce unprepared for anything that was not on the test.

Why we built porAI

Making access easier

Students often rely on limited textbooks, guidebooks, and tutoring support. porAI helps make practice, explanation, and revision materials easier to access in one focused platform.

How it works

Pick a topic, AI does the rest

Students enter a topic or study material, and porAI generates practice questions, explanations, flashcards, and revision notes aligned with their curriculum.

1
Select a subject and chapter

Choose your subject, class level, and chapter from the dashboard.

2
AI generates content

porAI uses NCTB textbooks and board patterns to generate practice questions, explanations, and revision notes.

3
Practice and revise

Answer questions, get instant feedback, and revise with flashcards and structured notes.

Current Focus

Exam-based learning and early pilots

porAI is currently focused on exam-based learning and early pilot testing with students and schools.
