Nasu

Safe AI learning for primary schools

Nasu AI helps pupils learn responsible AI use and supports them step by step in subjects such as mathematics and languages.

AI is already part of how children learn, but not always safely

Pupils are using AI more often for schoolwork and at home. Often this happens without clear guidance, age-appropriate boundaries, or an understanding of how AI works.

A pupil can get the answer without learning

General-purpose AI tools can provide a ready-made answer too easily, leaving less room for thinking and problem-solving.

AI can widen gaps in support at home

Some children receive help from parents, siblings, or private tutoring. Not every pupil has the same support network.

Teachers need tools they can control

Schools need AI solutions that support teaching, respect privacy, and are practical to use in everyday classroom work.

Solution

Nasu brings AI into learning in a controlled, pedagogical way

Nasu combines AI literacy with curriculum-based learning support. First, pupils learn to use AI responsibly. After that, Nasu supports learning inside a school-controlled environment.

AI literacy first

Pupils learn when AI can be trusted, when its answers should be questioned, and how information should be checked.

Step-by-step learning support

Nasu supports subjects such as mathematics and languages by guiding pupils forward with questions, hints, and explanations.

The school stays in control

Nasu operates in a school-managed environment where the teacher sets the boundaries and gets a lightweight view of the class situation.

How Nasu works

A clear path from understanding AI to supported learning

Nasu does not add a disconnected tool to teaching. It first builds shared ground rules, then moves into guidance that supports the pupil's own thinking.

Pupils first complete guided AI literacy content. They learn critical thinking, answer checking, responsible prompting, and the limitations of AI.

Example

Nasu does not skip the thinking process

Pupil

What is 24 divided by 6?

Nasu

Let's think about it together. If you split 24 into six equal groups, how many are in one group?

Product principles

Built for schools, not as a general AI chat

AI literacy before tutoring

Pupils first learn to use AI critically and responsibly before moving into subject-specific support.

A school-managed environment

Nasu is designed for school use, where teachers and schools remain in control.

Guides thinking instead of giving the result

Nasu guides pupils to think and explain rather than simply giving them the final answer.

Privacy-conscious by design

Nasu is based on data minimisation: only the data needed for the service to work is collected.

Available at school and at home

Nasu can provide the same safe learning model during lessons and when pupils need support with homework.

For whom

Benefits for teachers, schools, and municipalities

For teachers

Support for differentiation without extra workload
Teachers are expected to support very different learners in the same classroom, but time and resources are limited. Nasu helps by giving pupils immediate, guided support when the teacher cannot be next to everyone at that exact moment. The goal is not to automate teaching, but to help teachers identify where pupils need more support.

Benefits for teachers

  • Supports pupils during independent work
  • Helps differentiation within the same class
  • Shows common difficulty areas at class level
  • Keeps AI use within school-managed boundaries
  • Supports pupils' independent working skills

AI literacy and tutoring

AI literacy is the starting point

Children should not only learn with AI. They should also understand how AI works, where it can fail, and how to use it responsibly.

Nasu's AI literacy content helps pupils understand:

  • What AI can and cannot do
  • Why AI answers need to be checked
  • How to phrase questions effectively
  • Why answers should not be copied without understanding
  • When to ask a teacher or adult for help
This gives schools a structure for teaching responsible AI use.

Guided tutoring, not shortcuts to answers

Nasu supports pupils by breaking tasks into smaller parts. When a pupil gets stuck, Nasu explains the concept, asks guiding questions, and helps the pupil continue thinking.

1

Breaks down the task

Nasu helps pupils see the task in smaller parts so they can get started.

2

Asks guiding questions

When a pupil gets stuck, Nasu asks back and helps them continue thinking.

3

Requires reasoning

The pupil still needs to reason, try, and explain their own answer.

Safety and privacy

Designed with safety and privacy first

Nasu is designed for children, teachers, and schools. That means safety and privacy cannot be add-ons; they have to be the starting point of the product.

Nasu's approach is based on:

  • Age-appropriate interaction
  • Limited and controlled use cases
  • Data minimisation
  • School control
  • Avoiding unnecessary individual profiling
  • Clear documentation for school and municipality evaluation
Nasu is developed to support responsible AI adoption in education.
