The AI pedagogy assistant for teachers

Built on evidence-based research. Tuned to your school.

BBE Buddy is rooted in a body of evidence-based educational research — and adapts to your documents, school systems and information on top of it. It answers teachers' questions and builds classroom resources from that combined knowledge, and shows the source behind every answer.

The idea

A real body of research — adapted to your school.

At its core, BBE Buddy holds a substantial body of evidence-based educational research — the science of learning, assessment and instruction that good teaching is built on.

On top of that foundation, it adapts to your curriculum, policies, schemes of work and handbooks — so answers reflect both the research and how your school actually works. It's a real knowledge base, not an empty shell.

The market has moved past "can AI save time?" to "can I trust what it says?" — 52% of teachers call AI unreliable and ~78% re-verify its output by hand. We're built to remove that tax.

Ask a question. Watch it think. Read a sourced answer.

Grounded answers stream in, lead with the point, and end with two smart follow-ups. A live trace narrates retrieval, and every claim is sourced to an exact passage with a confidence band. Try it — it's a live, illustrative demo.

BBE Buddy
You're talking to an AI assistant

Illustrative interface — every answer is generated from, and cited to, the research base and your school's own materials. Citations are clickable down to the exact chunk, never faked into the prose.

One platform

From advice to resources — and the cockpit behind it.

Three connected surfaces: a research-grounded chat for teachers, a builder that turns conversations into ready-to-use documents, and a console that lets trainers shape exactly what the assistant draws on.

01 · Teacher chat

Grounded answers, in your house style.

Answers built on the research base and your own materials — streamed token-by-token, leading with the point and ending with two smart next steps. Watch it think, see every source, read a confidence band.

Inside the cockpit
Why it matters
"Real evidence at its core. Your school on top."
A foundation of evidence-based research, adapted to your documents and systems — and every response traces to a real, citable source. That's the trust unlock.
How it helps

Time back, trust up, drift gone.

The case for grounded AI in school isn't speed alone — it's whether teachers can rely on what it says, and whether the whole building says the same thing.

Shared base, no drift

Research plus your materials in one base — no drift by teacher or building; districts seek exactly this consistency.

"Your best teachers can't be in every classroom. Their thinking can be."

Human coaching is impactful but expensive. BBE Buddy extends it at near-zero marginal cost — and scales your methodology, not a vendor's opinion of good teaching.

Built for Europe

An AI tool teachers use daily is a data question, not just a software purchase.

Hand BBE Buddy to a DPO or board and the hard questions already have documented answers.

01 · Residency

Your data stays in Europe.

App & database in Frankfurt, search index in Ireland. Encrypted at rest (AES-256) with built-in erasure.

02 · Risk tier

It advises — never decides.

No grading, tracking, admissions or exam monitoring. A limited-risk chatbot under the EU AI Act — not high-risk.

03 · No training

Your data trains nothing.

EU-resident model blend — sovereign Mistral + Azure-EU frontier — contractually no-training, short/zero retention.
