# PyxiScience

> PyxiScience is an AI-powered adaptive mathematics learning platform designed for students and teachers in secondary and higher education.

## What is PyxiScience?

PyxiScience is a French EdTech startup founded in 2023 by Joachim Lebovits (PhD in Mathematics, lecturer at Sorbonne Paris North University and NYU Paris) and Jacques Lévy Véhel (graduate of École Polytechnique, former INRIA research director, co-founder of Case Law Analytics acquired by LexisNexis).

The platform combines pedagogical rigor with artificial intelligence to help teachers support students at scale, without replacing human educators.

## Key Features

- **Adaptive exercises**: Automatically generated math exercises that continuously adapt to each student's level.
- **AI-assisted grading**: Proprietary AI that reads and understands handwritten mathematical reasoning step-by-step, with over 90% accuracy. Teachers review and validate corrections.
- **Personalized learning paths**: Each student receives a tailored progression to ensure gradual and effective improvement.
- **Homework management**: Teachers can create and assign homework in just a few clicks.
- **Progress tracking**: Students and teachers can monitor performance in real time.
- **Step-by-step feedback**: The AI identifies specific mistakes and provides detailed explanations for each error in handwritten papers.

## How It Works

1. Teachers upload handwritten exam papers or assign exercises through the platform.
2. PyxiScience's AI reads and analyzes each student's handwritten mathematical reasoning step by step.
3. The AI generates detailed corrections, identifies mistakes, and provides personalized feedback.
4. Teachers review and validate the AI corrections, saving up to 70% of grading time.
5. Students receive personalized adaptive exercises that adjust to their level based on their performance.
