About

We built the thing we kept wishing existed.

Adapt gives students short interactive lessons on their phones that follow the course their instructor teaches, and turns what those students get wrong into something the instructor can act on by the next class session, not after the exam.

Four things we think are true

Finding out at the midterm is finding out too late

Every instructor already knows which students struggled — afterwards. The information exists; it just arrives after the point where it could have changed anything.

Learning should survive the existence of AI

A take-home assignment is now a prompt. Short interactive sets a student answers in the moment are harder to shortcut, and they generate the signal an essay never did.

Nobody is rebuilding their course

Any tool that starts with "first, migrate everything" does not get adopted by people who already teach four sections. Adapt starts from a standard course that you shape to your program.

The instructor stays in charge

AI drafts the lessons; you decide which of them ever reach a student, and can edit any card first. Nothing reaches a class until an instructor sends it.

What we believe is happening

Technology was supposed to make teaching easier. In a lot of classrooms it’s made it harder, and we keep seeing the same pattern. We call it BAC.

Who the student really is

A B student who understands most of the material, but not all of it.

What everyone sees

Homework run through an AI chatbot comes back perfect, so to instructors and faculty that B student looks like an A.

What the exam shows

When a quiz or exam comes around that they can’t shortcut, they score a C, because they never actually practiced.

By the time the C shows up, it’s too late to help. Adapt is built to show you the real B while there’s still time to do something about it.

The team

Meet the founders.

Two founders, one belief: teaching shouldn't be guesswork.

Co-founder & CEO

He started Adapt on one belief: education should be faster, clearer, and worth what students put into it. He built a commercial real estate career on speed and communication, and built Adapt the same way: a direct line between what a student understands and what their instructor can see.

Blake builds the product: the portal, the student app, and the system that turns every answer a student gives into something an instructor can act on this week. Background in computer science, finance and accounting (TCU, SMU).

Where we actually are

We’re early. Two founders, a shipped product, and programs currently evaluating it — not a list of logos we can put on this page. If you’re reading this looking for the case study that proves it works at your institution, we don’t have that yet, and we’re not going to imply otherwise.

What we can do is let you look around before we ever get on a call — explore the instructor portal with a sample class, no account needed, and judge the thing itself rather than a pitch about it.

Being early is also why our security page lists what we don’t have yet alongside what we do. We’d rather you find that out from us.

Judge the product, not the pitch.

Open the instructor portal with a sample EMT class and decide from what you see. If it isn’t a fit, you’ll know in ten minutes.

Free for instructors and admins. No card needed.
