Problem
Students often struggle to maintain consistent study habits, especially after long school days, and parents find it difficult to provide the structured academic support their children need. This leads to last-minute cramming, increased stress, and underperformance relative to a student's true potential.
Solution
Tokno is a personal AI tutor that meets students where they already are—on messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Apple Messages, or through a distraction-free web interface. It plans study sessions, sends reminders, administers tests, revises material, and follows up on progress, all while remembering each student's strengths and adapting its approach accordingly. The service is built on the proven educational principle that one-on-one tutoring dramatically improves outcomes, making this level of personalized support accessible and affordable. Parents create a family account, invite their children, and can upload or photograph homework or select from curriculum-aligned study sessions to get started immediately.

Primary users are school-aged students from middle school through upper secondary school, along with their parents who manage family accounts and oversee their children's academic progress.
