Voices That Matter

Built by Students, For Students

Real Students. Real Voices.

Zephyx was shaped by our Student Council - learners aged 8-22 who told us exactly what they need to succeed in an AI-powered world.
"It's a skill we all need for the future, but we don't cover it in school" - Student council members

From Guilty Secret to Confident Skill

While schools struggle with AI policies and students hide their AI use, we're building the bridge between where education is and where it needs to be.

Our Student Advisors Say It Best:

"It's always there when you need it" - Primary Student
"Study time is actually fun now" - Secondary Student
"Finally, AI that makes you smarter instead of dependent" - University Student
