Every subject has its giants. Let your class interview them.

How it works

From an empty room to graded understanding in four steps.

1. Create your class

   Get a join code instantly. Students sign up with an email and join with the code — no roster uploads or spreadsheets.

2. Assign an interview

   Start from 38 ready-made assignments across every subject, or build your own: 139 figures, real moments in time, your instructions.

3. Students investigate

   Each student interviews the figure in a focused chat with no web access and a message allowance you set. You fund the messages, not your students.

4. Review real understanding

   Read every transcript and see auto-graded quiz scores at a glance. See how they think, not just what they scored.

What a lesson looks like

One class period with HistorIQly, from the first minute to the last.

1. Before class

   Pick a ready-made assignment or write your own: a figure, a moment in their life, your instructions and how many messages each student gets.

2. First five minutes

   Put the class code on the projector. Students join on their own devices and choose the name you will see.

3. The interview

   Each student questions the figure in a focused chat with no web access. The projector board shows who has started and who has turned in.

4. After class

   Read every conversation, check the quiz results and open each student's insight card, with every point tied to a line they wrote.

See exactly what you get back

After a student turns in, their conversation becomes an evidence card — quote-anchored, so every claim points to a real line they wrote. Here's a sample.

Built for every subject

Not just history. Every department has a figure worth interviewing.

• History & Social Studies Cross-examine Genghis Khan on his empire
• Literature & Writing Ask Shakespeare how he writes villains
• Science Isolate radium in Marie Curie's shed
• Mathematics Quarantined with Newton, inventing calculus
• Philosophy & Ethics Argue the examined life with Socrates
• Civics & Government Design the Constitution beside James Madison
• Art & Music Paint the Sistine ceiling with Michelangelo
• Economics & Business Cross-examine Marx on capitalism

Why teachers use Classroom

• The transcript is the work

  Instead of a worksheet, you get the student's actual line of questioning — every misconception and every aha moment, visible.

• A walled garden

  Assignment chats stay locked to the figure you chose — no web search, no file uploads, no wandering off. You can read every assignment conversation, and students know it.

• Grading that does itself

  Each conversation ends with a five-question quiz built from what was actually discussed, graded on the server and copied straight to your dashboard.

Built for schools

Assignment chats are a walled garden. Everything below is enforced in code, not just promised.

• Only the vetted historical figure you assign — no user-made characters.
• No web access, file uploads, or off-topic modes inside an assignment.
• Tutor mode never writes the essay — it draws thinking out, it doesn't hand it over.
• You see every assignment transcript, start to finish.
• Quizzes are graded on the server — the score can't be forged.
• Sensitive figures are blocked from assignments entirely.

Students sign up with an email and join with your class code. Their conversations start once they confirm that email: real accounts, not anonymous logins.

Included with Pro ($20/mo) — or start free with the 30-day educator pilot.

What your students' chats cost — printed, not hidden

Every assignment chat runs on the premium AI and is funded by you, the teacher. Your students never pay or spend their own credits.

• Pilot: 2,000 funded student messages a month across all your classes.
• Pro: 10,000 funded student messages a month.

The pool refills at the start of each month. One assignment for 30 students at the default 40 messages each can use up to 1,200 of the pilot's 2,000 messages, so lower the allowance when you plan several assignments in a month.
