About

Cognii's Virtual Learning Assistant engages students in one-on-one coaching conversations, assessing answers they write in their own words instead of multiple-choice selections. Its NLP analyzes the semantics of open responses, gives personalized hints until the student reaches mastery, and auto-scores short essays. Deployed at universities including Colorado State, it is a business-to-institution product, so individual learners generally access it through their school.
