Dilr Academy is an AI tutor for your own courses
Dilr Academy is the AI tutor from DILR.ai for universities, colleges and training providers. It builds interactive, multilingual courses from your curriculum, with live diagrams and simulations, then teaches each learner one to one: it asks before it explains and tracks what they have mastered. Institutions license it for their own cohorts.

What is Dilr Academy?
Dilr Academy writes a course and then teaches it.
Most AI study tools answer questions. Academy builds the syllabus, draws the diagrams and checks understanding before it moves on.
Why should a university license an AI tutor?
Nearly every UK student uses AI but few are given it by their university
95% of UK undergraduates now use AI in some form. Only 38% say their institution gives them AI tools, so most of that learning happens in tools nobody chose for them.
The question has moved on from whether students use AI
The HEPI survey found generative AI in assessed work rose from 53% of students in 2024 to 94% in 2026. The open question for an institution is what that AI teaches, in which language, and whether it checks understanding or simply hands over an answer.
How does an AI tutor teach rather than just answer?
Dilr Academy asks a question before it explains anything
Every lesson runs the same four-step loop. Scroll through it to see each step.
- 01
Academy shows the idea with a live diagram
A topic opens with something to look at: a diagram, chart or tree drawn live with Mermaid or D3, or a step-by-step storyboard animation for the ideas that are hard to follow in text.
- 02
Academy asks a question before it explains
The tutor poses a guided question in voice or text and waits for the learner to reason it out. It does not hand over the answer the way a chatbot does.
- 03
Academy checks the reasoning and fills the gap
When an answer shows a gap, the tutor explains that part, gives a worked example, or opens a Deep Dive with a simulation the learner can try.
- 04
Academy moves on only when the idea has landed
Knowledge tracing estimates what the learner has mastered and sets the difficulty of the next step, so two learners in the same cohort can take different paths.
What can an AI tutor put inside a lesson?
A Dilr Academy lesson can hold live diagrams, animations and simulations
These are the building blocks the tutor uses. Each one is a checked template, so the tutor fills it in rather than inventing an interface.
What courses has Dilr Academy built?
Academy has built courses from a 5‑hour topic to a 180‑hour school year
These are courses Academy has already built and taught. They show range. They are not a catalogue, because your courses are built from your curriculum.
School curricula and professional skills
The longest course follows the England KS3 programme of study for Year 9 Mathematics. Others follow the Indian CBSE board, and some are professional subjects such as Python and generative AI. The generative AI course runs to 8 modules and 41 topics.
Does Dilr Academy work in other languages?
Dilr Academy rebuilds each course in the learner’s language
Translation is not just the menu labels. The course itself follows the language, including scripts that read right to left.
The syllabus and the stated outcomes
Module names, topics and what the learner will be able to do, written in the course language.
The Socratic questions and the feedback
The tutor asks, listens and explains in the same language the learner answers in.
The diagrams, labels and interactive elements
Text inside a diagram or simulation is part of the course, so it changes too.
The reading direction
Right-to-left scripts are laid out right to left, end to end.
Who is Dilr Academy for?
Dilr Academy is for institutions that teach a cohort
It is licensed to the organisation that owns the curriculum, and that organisation gives its learners access.
Universities
Courses for a faculty or a whole intake
Foundation and service courses taught one to one, in the languages your students study in.
Colleges and schools
Courses that follow your exam board
Academy has already built to the England KS3 programme of study and to the CBSE board.
Training providers
Professional programmes on demand
Subjects such as Python and generative AI, built as courses with modules, outcomes and mastery tracking.
Academy is not sold to individual learners today. If you are learning on your own in the United States, Khanmigo is a sensible place to start, and our honest comparison of AI tutors covers the other options.
How much does Dilr Academy cost?
Dilr Academy is licensed per institution and priced on a call
There is no public price list. A licence covers a course programme for a named cohort, so the price follows what you need taught.
The subjects
How many courses Academy builds for you, and how long each one teaches for.
The languages
Each language is a full rebuild of the course, not a translated menu.
The learners
The size of the cohort that will be taught one to one.
The term
How long the licence runs, from one module to a full academic year.
Is Dilr Academy a good Khanmigo alternative?
Yes, if you want your own courses taught rather than Khan Academy’s library
Both tutors ask before they tell. The difference is whose courses they teach and who can buy them.
| Question | Dilr Academy | Khanmigo |
|---|---|---|
| Whose courses does it teach? | Courses it builds from your curriculum | Khan Academy’s existing library |
| Who buys it? | Universities, colleges and training providers | Learners, parents and US districts. Free for teachers |
| What does it cost? | Licensed per institution, priced on a call | $4 a month or $44 a year. Districts request pricing |
| Where can you buy it? | Licensed by DILR.ai from London | Paid subscriptions in the United States only |
| Does it ask before it tells? | Yes | Yes |
| Does it build new courses? | Yes | No, it tutors existing content |
| Languages | Courses rebuilt per language, including right-to-left | 43 listed, 4 fully quality-tested |
| Library size | 12 courses built so far | Far larger, Khan Academy’s whole catalogue |
Is it safe for students to learn from an AI tutor?
Dilr Academy only shows checked templates inside a sandbox
The usual worry about AI tutors is that they invent things. Academy limits what the model is allowed to produce.

Short answers to common questions about Dilr Academy
Price, who can buy it, languages, and how it compares with Khanmigo and ChatGPT.
- Dilr Academy is an AI tutor made by DILR.ai. It builds interactive, multilingual courses from an institution’s curriculum, with live diagrams, animations and simulations, and teaches each learner one to one with Socratic questioning and mastery tracking. It is licensed to universities, colleges and training providers for their own cohorts.
- Dilr Academy is licensed per institution and priced on a call, so there is no public price list. The price follows the subjects you need built, the languages, the number of learners and how long you need it. Book a call or send a brief through the contact page and DILR will scope it.
- No. Dilr Academy is not sold to individual learners today. Access runs through an institution that licenses it. If you are an individual learner in the United States, Khanmigo costs $4 a month or $44 a year and is a sensible place to start.
- ChatGPT answers questions in a chat window. Dilr Academy teaches a structured course with a syllabus, modules and stated outcomes. It asks a question before it explains, draws live diagrams and simulations, and tracks what each learner has mastered. Every interactive element is a validated template rendered in a sandbox.
- Academy has built courses from school curricula, such as Year 9 Mathematics on the England KS3 programme and Class 11 CBSE Accountancy, through to Python, generative AI and biology. It builds new courses on demand, so these are examples of what it has made rather than a limit on what it can make.
- Yes. A Dilr Academy course is rebuilt in the learner’s language, not just relabelled. The syllabus, the Socratic questions and the interactive elements all follow the language, including right-to-left scripts.
- It depends on who is buying. Khanmigo tutors over Khan Academy’s own library, costs $4 a month for US learners and is free for teachers. Dilr Academy builds courses from your own curriculum and is licensed to institutions. A university or training provider outside the US that wants its own courses taught is the case Academy is built for.
- There is no single best AI tutor in 2026. On DILR’s comparison of AI education tools, Khanmigo suits US learners and K-12 teachers, Synthesis suits children aged 5 to 11 learning maths, MagicSchool suits teachers preparing lessons, and Dilr Academy suits institutions that want courses built and taught. People searching Reddit for the best AI tutor usually ask the same question: will it teach, or just give answers.
