AI's draft
You grade itGrade AI's work yourself. If you can't tell mediocre from excellent, you haven't learned it yet.
XP and streaks instead of timed exams. Your latest work is your grade — growth, not accounting.

Every other program her mother tried was long, boring, and not suited to her learning style.

Traditional school is built to train students to do the bare minimum to get by. Units trains them to be lifelong learners who achieve the impossible.
Humans want to learn. School trains it out of them with text walls and lectures. Every Units lesson is interactive, so students want the next one. And Gilbert, our Socratic AI tutor is ready to help the second they get stuck.
To be irreplaceable by AI, you need to be exceptional. AI isn't going anywhere, and like calculators, they're a tool that enabled civilization to take on greater challenges. We teach you how to identify and create great work with AI.
Every Unit ends in something real you ship: a YouTube video, a Medium article, a working product, a pitched campaign. Most schools never let student work meet a real audience. We make it the requirement. Real stakes, real effort, and real impact mean real-world opportunities, not just grades.
Your courses, deadlines, and goals become a realistic daily plan.

Hi, I'm Daniel.
I won the highest academic achievement award in 8th grade, then my high school kicked me out.
Before that, I'd spent a year building an AI tool to help my teachers give students better feedback. Not one of the 78 teachers I pitched took me seriously. Not even the one I originally built it for. The district came up with a new excuse every time.
The system is broken at a fundamental level. Schools actually get more funding the longer they keep a student in class.
So the system doesn't change unless the pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of changing.
But we can—and should teach students more, faster.
We've been holding back students and killing their potential. Far too many kids have had their talent buried under a fear of stepping out of line.
So I'm dropping everything I've built over the past 3 years to prove what's possible.
Traditional education will either be forced to adapt to the real world, or find itself obsolete.
We're here to do that.
This isn't another extracurricular, study tool, or private school.
This is Units.
