Ethena AI
Academic Integrity First

AI Guidance That Teaches, Never Cheats

Institution-grade, course-aware Ethena AI guidance with instructor-set guardrails. Nudges students toward understanding without giving away answers.

Calculus Problem Help

Student asks about derivatives

Student: "What's the derivative of x²?"

Ethena AI: "Let's think about what a derivative represents. What happens to the slope of x² as x changes? Can you recall the power rule pattern?"

Answer withheld - guiding toward understanding

The Academic Integrity Crisis

Students need help, but current AI tools either give away answers (promoting cheating) or provide no academic context. Educators need visibility and control over AI assistance in their courses.

Students Struggle Alone

Office hours are limited. Students get stuck and either give up or resort to answer-giving AI tools that don't promote learning.

AI Tools Give Answers

ChatGPT and similar tools provide direct solutions, undermining the learning process and academic integrity policies.

Instructors Lack Control

No visibility into how students are getting help. No way to set boundaries on AI assistance for their specific course needs.

Our Solution

Ethena AI Guidance with Guardrails

Our AI uses the Ethena method to guide students through problems without giving answers. Instructors set policies, get analytics, and maintain academic integrity.

Progressive Hints

Get nudges toward understanding, not direct answers

Course-Aware Context

References your specific course materials and concepts

Safe Learning Environment

No cheating temptation - designed for genuine understanding

For Instructors

Policy Controls

Set hint depth limits, assessment restrictions, and course-specific rules

Learning Analytics

See where students struggle and how AI assistance is being used

LMS Integration

Works seamlessly with Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle

How Ethena AI Works

Our three-layer approach ensures academic integrity while providing meaningful learning support.

1. Ethena Questioning

AI asks guiding questions and provides hints that lead students to discover answers themselves, following the proven Ethena method.

2. Academic Guardrails

Built-in policies detect active assessments and limit hint depth. Instructors control what level of help is appropriate for each context.

3. Learning Analytics

Track learning progress, identify struggling concepts, and measure the effectiveness of AI-assisted learning in your course.
