Sigma ALS: AI classroom assistant
Designed alongside an educator-founder.
The story
What Sigma ALS needed, and what we built.
Rita Kizito (PhD Stellenbosch, ex-University Director, learning scientist) wanted to build an AI classroom assistant grounded in real classroom workflows, not generic edtech. KUMO is building the AI classroom assistant in close partnership with Rita on product direction.
What we delivered
Six areas of production work.
Lesson-planning support
AI assistance for lesson planning grounded in real curriculum constraints and learning objectives.
Grading & feedback assistance
Drafts and structured feedback with teacher sign-off on every output, humans in the loop on graded work.
Student-engagement tools
K-12 and higher-education flows surfacing engagement signals teachers can act on.
Real-time classroom feedback
Live signals surfaced during class without disrupting flow, designed for teachers, not admins.
Research-backed design
Product decisions grounded in learning-science research, not generic edtech assumptions.
