I want to study how music affects plant growth 🌱
Love it! That's phonotropism. Let's design an experiment. What frequency range?
Mid-range! What should I test?
Try 3 ranges: low (20–200Hz), mid (500–2kHz), and high (5kHz+). Want a hypothesis?

Our philosophy

DaVi amplifies your thinking.
It doesn't replace it.

We know what keeps educators up at night. DaVi never writes your conclusion... it asks: "What do your results actually tell you?" The goal is a student who thinks more clearly, not one who copies more efficiently.

🧠

Teaches thinking,
not answers

DaVi uses the Socratic method, asking questions that push you to reason through problems yourself and build real critical thinking skills.

📈

Measures growth,
not output

DaVi tracks how your reasoning improves over time, not just what you produced, but how your scientific thinking has developed.

The DaVi difference

Built from real projects.
Built for real breakthroughs.

DaVi is trained on thousands of real student projects from ProjectBoard, the actual hypotheses, methodologies, struggles, and breakthroughs of young researchers just like your students.

That's not a feature.

That's the foundation.

🗂️

Trained on real student work

DaVi has learned from thousands of actual student projects across dozens of STEM disciplines, so it understands the real challenges students face, not just theoretical ones.

🎯

Guidance that actually fits

Because DaVi knows what similar projects looked like at your stage, it gives precise, relevant guidance. Not generic advice. It knows what a Grade 9 environmental science project needs to succeed.

The key outcome

A portfolio that proves your thinking, not just your results.

DaVi builds a complete student portfolio as you go. Every hypothesis, every experiment, every revision, every breakthrough is documented. The result is a living record of how a student's scientific thinking developed, invaluable for science fairs, university applications, and beyond. This is what enables participation diversity across schools, districts, and departments of education.

Trust & Safety

Questions we hear from
institutions worldwide.

From Warsaw to Riyadh, the questions we get from schools and organizations are similar. Here are honest answers.

DaVi is purpose-built for educational use. Every conversation is limited to STEM project-related topics. It won't engage in off-topic or personal interactions. All content is moderated, and every session is logged so teachers and parents can review exactly what was discussed.
We take data privacy seriously, particularly for minors. DaVi complies with COPPA (US), GDPR (EU), and other applicable data protection regulations. Student data is never sold or shared with third parties. EU users have full rights to access, correct, and delete their data.
Student personal data is never used to train AI models without explicit, informed consent. ProjectBoard's use of aggregated, anonymized project data to improve DaVi's guidance is disclosed clearly in our terms of service. Students and institutions can opt out.
DaVi is designed primarily for students ages 13+, high school and university. The AI adapts its language, depth, and guidance style based on the student's level and experience.
DaVi currently supports English as its primary language, with additional language support actively in development. We welcome conversations with institutions that need specific language support.
Partner institutions can deploy DaVi for their students, access teacher and administrator dashboards, customize project frameworks, and participate in our global science fair and competition network. We work closely with each partner to fit their specific curriculum and goals.
DaVi offers a free tier for all students and Pro plans for deeper access. Schools and districts can access custom per-seat pricing. For individuals or institutions that cannot afford access, our Equitable Access Fund provides full Pro access at no cost.
DaVi is built on a Socratic model. It asks questions, not answers. It never writes a conclusion, builds a hypothesis, or completes an analysis for a student. Every interaction is designed to strengthen the student's own reasoning. Full conversation logs give educators complete transparency into the process.
DaVi is currently in beta, with early access being rolled out to select schools and organizations. ProjectBoard, the platform DaVi is built on, has nearly a decade of experience working with thousands of students and hundreds of STEM organizations globally. We are actively gathering pilot data and welcome institutions who want to be early partners.

Equity in STEM

Brilliance is everywhere.
Opportunity should be too.

The student with the most potential isn't always the one with the most resources. DaVi exists to close that gap, giving every student access to the kind of personalized mentorship that used to only exist for the privileged few.

🌍

Mentorship without borders

A student in rural Kenya and a student in Silicon Valley now have access to the same quality of AI-powered STEM coaching. Geography is no longer a barrier to great science.

🏫

Built for under-resourced schools

Schools without dedicated STEM labs, science fair coaches, or research mentors now have DaVi. One platform that gives you everything you need to compete, and win.

🔬

From hidden talent to global stage

The next great scientist shouldn't be invisible because you didn't know where to start. DaVi finds the potential in every student and gives it somewhere to go.

Ready to start?

Every student deserves
a mentor. Now they have one.
