Redefining homework
in the age of AI

AI help inside the homework, so students still do the thinking.

How MyTA works

One assignment, start to finish.

Generate with AI, step 5 of 5: the draft request with materials and topics, number of questions, difficulty, and question style

    Students work with MyTA

    Students ask about the step they're stuck on. MyTA replies with questions that lead to the fix.

    Sketch, graph, and take notes

    A whiteboard, graphing calculator, and notebook sit beside every problem. Students can share their work with MyTA.

Why MyTA exists

AI helps most when it's built for learning.

We saw AI help students understand hard material. We also saw it let them skip the thinking. MyTA keeps the help and leaves the thinking to the student.

30+ institutions

Instructors and higher-ed leaders gave us input.

40+ feedback conversations

Questions

Frequently asked questions

About pilots, course fit, and guided AI.

Does MyTA prevent students from cheating?

No. MyTA doesn't detect or block AI use. Students already have powerful AI tools, so MyTA gives them a better option inside the course: help built around the assignment and your materials. In early trials, students told us MyTA was more efficient and more effective for learning than taking their homework to an outside AI tool.

What if students still use ChatGPT or another AI tool?

They can. MyTA doesn't try to block outside AI. It gives students a course-provided option tied to the exact assignment and your materials, and it shows you where students asked for help.

Will my existing assignments work in MyTA?

Usually, yes. Upload an existing PDF, write questions directly, or generate a draft from your topics and materials. If an assignment depends on outside software or a publisher system, we review it with you before the pilot.

How much work does a MyTA pilot require from me?

Very little. Start with one course and the assignments you already use. We help with setup, onboarding, and running the pilot, so you don't rebuild your course.

What analytics will I receive?

Detailed analytics for every assignment: the misconceptions your class shares, each student's strengths and areas for improvement, and, for every question, the average score and how many MyTA chats it drew. Use them to give each student personal feedback.

Does MyTA integrate with my LMS?

Pilots run on their own, so LMS integration isn't required to start. LMS integration is in development.

What class sizes work with MyTA?

There is no minimum. Class-level patterns get more useful as a class grows, but fit depends more on the assignment than on class size.

Who pays for MyTA?

The first pilot semester is free. Longer-term pricing is still being set and will be clear before any paid use begins.

How do I get started?

Start with one course. We review an assignment and your materials with you, confirm the fit, and agree on what to learn from the pilot before students begin.
