how sam teaches
Watch a real lesson
draw itself.
This is how the Board Tutor works: it plans the lesson, draws each element on a live canvas, narrates out loud, and checks you before moving on. The lesson beside this is the one SAM taught in our verification walk.
↳ and it reads your sketches back — draw your attempt, SAM meets you there

the agent behind the chalk
Not a chatbot. A loop that never stops running.
SAM is an agent: it perceives, plans, acts through audited tools, checks its own work, remembers, and reaches out. Every station below names the machinery that actually runs.
it perceives
Reads the board — and you
Board perception reads your sketches and handwriting; a behavior monitor notices how you actually study.

it plans
Goals become executable plans
A goal decomposer breaks your aim into tracked subgoals; a plan critic challenges the plan before you ever see it.

it acts
35+ tools, every use audited
Drawing lessons, building exams, generating flashcards and diagrams, navigating skill maps — through a permissioned tool registry.

it checks itself
Confidence scored, answers verified
A self-evaluation layer scores confidence and verifies responses; quality gates block what isn’t good enough.

it remembers
A memory that survives sessions
Vector memory, a knowledge graph, and Bayesian mastery estimates — reviews scheduled right before you’d forget.

it comes to you
Check-ins you didn’t ask for
A check-in scheduler and honest notifications — SAM opens the conversation when your pattern says you need it.

what that feels like
A mentor with a plan, a board, and a memory.
01 · the plan
One goal becomes a week you can keep
Your goal becomes a real study plan — persisted as a SAM goal with every task tracked — and a Sunday check-in keeps it honest.
real: 8-week plan, 32 tracked tasks
02 · the board
SAM draws, narrates, and checks you
The Board Tutor draws the idea on a live canvas, narrates each step, and poses a check question — then reads what you sketch back.
real: full Pythagorean lesson, 9/9 steps
03 · the depth
Exams from your course, Bloom-capped
Questions come from what was actually taught, never above it — and your results are analyzed per Bloom level, not just scored.
real: 10 grounded questions in 48s
04 · the memory
Reviews land right before you’d forget
Mastery persists between sessions and reviews are scheduled on the forgetting curve — SAM tells you what’s due, honestly.
real: 7 due reviews, 41% retention shown
↳ then pick up the chalk yourself — SAM drafts your course and critiques its own work, honest receipt included: rubric 4.52/5 · 8m09s · $0.19
The line ends where yours begins.
no card, no cram — upgrade only when SAM has proved itself.
