Allow learning.
Block cheating✗.
Keep proof.
Your students already use AI for tutoring, feedback, and yes, entire essays. Banning fails. Ignoring it destroys integrity. Themisto EDU is the third option: smart AI detection on the school device itself, checking every prompt before it's sent, so tutoring flows and cheating stops.
Agent installed. Prompt checked.
Policy applied. Event recorded.
The Themisto EDU agent goes on school-managed Windows and macOS devices, with a lightweight browser extension. One deployment, every classroom covered.
Teachers write classroom guidelines in plain language: “no full essay writing; tutoring and feedback are fine.” No code, no regex, no IT tickets.
Every AI prompt is checked before it's sent. The on-device engine decides in milliseconds; ambiguous prompts escalate to a deeper intelligence layer for a second opinion.
Blocked and flagged prompts appear in the educator dashboard with device, tool, website, reason, and the captured prompt. Evidence, not guesswork.
Be the student. Watch it decide.
Pick a prompt a real student might type. Smart AI detection reads the intent, not just keywords, and decides before anything leaves the device.
Everything a school needs.
Nothing it has to babysit.
Understands intent, not keywords. That nuance is the whole product, built on smart AI detection that runs right on the device and decides before the prompt is ever sent.
Detects known and AI-like websites automatically, not a fixed list students route around by Tuesday. New tool appears, coverage follows.
Teachers describe what students should avoid in plain English. The policy engine turns it into live enforcement. No IT tickets.
Tool, host, reason, captured text. Conversations with students start from evidence.
See where and how students actually use AI: which tools, which classes, which patterns.
Enroll school-managed devices in minutes. Built for labs, carts, and 1:1 programs.
Ambiguous prompts get a second opinion from a deeper central intelligence layer.
Update policies centrally; devices sync automatically. Suspend or revoke in one click.
Not anti-AI. Anti-cheating.
Same student, same laptop, same AI tool. The only thing that changes the outcome is intent, and that's exactly what Themisto reads.
Built for people who answer to parents and boards. Schools don't get to be wrong about student data.
The fast path stays on the device. Policies stay in your control. Every enforcement decision leaves a trail you can stand behind in a parent meeting. Allow tutoring, feedback, and responsible AI learning. Block answer-writing, exam completion, and unsafe use. Record everything that matters, and nothing that doesn't.
Clear cases are decided right on the device. Fast, private, offline-tolerant.
Only ambiguous prompts escalate to a deeper central intelligence layer. Nuance without slowdown.
Update a guideline once; every enrolled device pulls the new rules automatically.
Every device has its own secure identity. Lost laptop? Revoke or suspend in one click.
How much AI is in your classrooms?
More than your detectors show.
Three answers. Sixty seconds. Your numbers appear as you click, benchmarked against schools your size.
Modeled on published workplace and campus AI-use research plus Themisto pilot data.
Asked constantly. Answered straight.
[+][-]Can schools detect when students use ChatGPT?
Not by scoring the finished essay, which is what detectors try to do and why they keep getting it wrong. The reliable moment is while it's happening. Themisto EDU runs on school devices and sees the actual AI session live, so a school can tell tutoring from answer-seeking with a record in hand instead of a hunch.
[+][-]Do AI detectors actually work?
Not well enough to accuse a student. They score how predictable the writing is, so clean, simple writing gets flagged. Stanford found essays by non-native English speakers marked as AI more than half the time in some tests, and OpenAI shut down its own detector for being inaccurate. If a score is the only evidence, there is no evidence.
[+][-]Should schools ban AI tools like ChatGPT?
Bans mostly move the usage to phones and home networks and take away the last bit of visibility the school had. Close to nine in ten undergrads already use AI on assessments, so that ship has sailed. What holds up is letting the learning uses through, blocking the do-my-assignment uses, and doing it on school devices where you can actually tell the two apart.
[+][-]What does Themisto EDU allow and what does it block?
Explaining, practicing, and getting feedback go through. "Write my essay" gets stopped before it's sent, and the attempt shows up in the teacher dashboard with context. Students keep a tutor. Teachers get receipts.
[+][-]How does the free classroom audit work?
Seven days, up to 10 school devices. You get a report of the real AI activity on them: which tools, how often, and how much was tutoring versus answer-seeking. Most schools are surprised by the split, in both directions.
