COPPA compliant with real-time content filtering
Blends imagination with educational value
Getting started
Join the pilot program in minutes. No credit card, no commitment. Get immediate access for your classroom.
Create student profiles with age-appropriate settings. Customize learning preferences for each child.
Students ask questions, create images, and learn—all with safety guardrails built in.
MIS integration
Askie syncs class rosters straight from your MIS, so teachers never type a class list twice. Your Wonde administrator approves Askie once, and every teacher in the school can import their own classes from then on.
No spreadsheets and no CSV files. A teacher picks their class and the students appear with sign-in codes ready to print.
Names and year groups come from the school’s own records. Re-running an import updates the class in place instead of creating duplicates, so new arrivals are picked up without anyone retyping the list.
Askie requests twelve fields: names, date of birth, class membership, and staff email. No contact details, no SEN or medical data, no pastoral notes.
Works with the management systems Wonde supports, including
Wonde reports connections with more than 30,000 schools across the UK and internationally. If your school already uses Wonde, Askie can be approved from the same portal.
Safety & Privacy
We designed Askie with the assumption that it would be used unsupervised. Every feature starts with the question: is this safe for a child?
Every AI response passes through multiple safety layers before reaching students.
Profiles lock content to appropriate age ranges. A 5-year-old sees different content than a 12-year-old.
We don't sell data or show ads. Student privacy is not negotiable.
View conversation history and usage reports. Stay informed without micromanaging.
What students explore
Create your school, add classes, paste student names, and hand out access codes. No credit card or call. Free for 20 students, with 200 text questions each week.
