Curipod is the AI-powered curriculum platform for teacher-paced lessons that get students to look up from their screens and talk.

Teachers guide the flow while every student engages—responding to open-ended prompts, sharing ideas, and learning from peers. Real-time AI feedback and instant insights help students revise their thinking while the learning is still fresh. With Curipod, you can generate or adapt lessons aligned to standards, and bring best practices into every class—across subjects, grade levels, and languages. Just click start and see what your students can do.
