Addaly is a free AI school. It holds 35 courses and 2,706 lessons in 285 modules, 35 textbooks of 15,550 pages, and 9 course films, with 73 AI tutors and 4 AI tools that answer in 45 languages. Every page is open to read, and all of it is free, permanently.
Who makes it
The lessons, figures, checks and exams are drafted by AI models to a written standard, and the site and the books say so plainly.
How it is checked
- Every exam key was checked blind: a second model answered each question without seeing the key, and 3,665 of 3,666 answers agreed. The one disagreement was settled for the key.
- Every wrong option in a lesson check carries the reason a sensible reader might choose it, so a mistake teaches something.
- Every diagram is drawn from data by code, so the numbers in a figure are the numbers in the argument.
- Anyone can report a mistake from any page. The website is corrected first, and the books follow in their next edition.
Academic review
Each course carries the label “Draft, open for academic review” until a named academic has read it and signed it, and the signature then appears on the course page. 0 of 35 courses are signed so far. If you teach or research in one of these subjects, you can offer to review a course.
The tutors
Every tutor is an AI, and every page says so. The 73 AI tutors have illustrated portraits rather than photorealistic ones, on purpose: a realistic face on an AI would suggest a person who does not exist. The 4 AI tools have a glyph and no face. See them all on the tutors page.
