Now piloting · Malta · 2026–27

Notice what the marks can't show you.

SIYA helps K-12 schools reduce teacher workload by analysing handwritten pupil work, identifying learning gaps, and supporting targeted interventions, while keeping teachers fully in control.

✦The pain

Teachers spend hours marking, and still can't see every learning gap.

Marking eats evenings and weekends. The shared misconception, the topic half the class never grasped, are nearly impossible to spot by hand, until the next unit has already started.

SIYA turns existing workflows into sharper learning insights, without changing how teachers teach.

A typical week, without SIYA
  • TonightA class set of 32 books. Three hours after dinner.
  • Tomorrow morningA misconception three pupils shared, still invisible.
  • Next weekHalf the class never grasped Tuesday’s topic. The next unit has started.
The gaps that matter the most are usually the ones that hide the longest.
✦How it works

Three steps. The teacher stays in control of all three.

01

Upload

Teachers upload handwritten work as mobile photos, scanned papers, or PDFs. No new hardware. No special paper.

02

SIYA reads and analyses

SIYA reads each pupil’s responses and identifies patterns, misconceptions, and learning gaps mapped to your curriculum.

03

Teachers review and approve

Every evaluation goes to the teacher for review. Edit, override, or accept, the teacher always has the final word.

The teacher always has the final word. AI proposes. Teachers decide.

✦Watch SIYA

See SIYA in action.

Go from Pupil hand written answers to insights in under a minute. Watch how SIYA reads handwritten answers, maps every gap, and shows you exactly what Pupil thinking | no typing, no spreadsheets, no waiting until the end of term.

✦Outcomes

Built to reduce workload, and support better learning outcomes.

Four things SIYA is here to do. Nothing more, nothing less.

See what the marks miss

Spot the misconception three pupils share, the topic half the class never grasped — weeks before it shows up in formal assessment results.

Support more personalised interventions

Get targeted, curriculum-aligned recommendations the teacher can use, adapt, or ignore.

Save hours every week

Reduce repetitive marking and administrative workload, so teachers spend time where it matters.

Work with what you already do

No new assessment formats. No redesigned lesson plans. SIYA fits inside your existing classroom practice.

✦For school leaders

Designed for schools, not just classrooms.

Heads of school, deputies, and DPOs have questions classroom teachers don't. We've built SIYA, and this site, to answer them up front.

Siya in professional mode
01

Working examples available on request

Supports national curricula, and teacher-defined rubrics.

02

Transparent workflows

Every AI-generated evaluation is reviewable, editable, and overridable by the teacher. Schools retain full pedagogical oversight.

03

GDPR-conscious infrastructure

Pupil data hosted on AWS Frankfurt (eu-central-1), European Union only. DPA available before pilot begins. Pupil work is never used to train our models.

Sub-processors: AWS Frankfurt · Google Gemini AI (EU)
04

Easy implementation

Works alongside existing assessment practices. Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams for Education supported. Onboarding measured in days, not months.

✦Pilots & platform maturity

Currently piloting with schools in Malta.

2026–27 academic year · Malta

Active pilots with K-12 schools, refining the platform inside real classrooms, not in a sales demo.

We work closely with teachers and senior leadership in schools to shape SIYA around how marking actually happens. Anonymised reference details are available on request.

✦ Our policy on testimonials

We collect our first reference six weeks into each pilot. When we publish a quote, it's the teacher's words, unedited, never written by us.

The same engine, adapted for European curricula, hosted in AWS Frankfurt (eu-central-1). The Indian roots gave us platform maturity; the European launch is built for European procurement.

✦The pilot arc

What you'll see by week six.

Schools that run a SIYA pilot don't need to take our word for it. Here is what the first six weeks typically look like.

Weeks 1–2 · Marking and learning gaps

Teachers upload their first class sets. Within days they are seeing which pupils missed which concept — not just who got it wrong, but where the thinking broke down. The first conversation in the staffroom usually starts here.

Weeks 3–4 · Patterns across pupils

Once SIYA has observed a month of work, patterns emerge that no single marking session would reveal. Three pupils sharing the same misconception. A concept that the whole year group is quietly struggling with. Things worth acting on before the end of term.

Weeks 5–6 · Conversations with parents

Teachers arrive at parent meetings with something specific to say — not just a grade, but an observation. 'Maya's written reasoning is getting stronger. Here is what we have noticed.' That specificity changes the conversation.

✦From the classroom

What teachers say after trying SIYA.

I was genuinely excited and buzzing to use SIYA as a tool for assessing my pupils' work. The depth of feedback which SIYA generates overwhelmingly surpasses the feedback which even the most dedicated teacher can give. Its analytics section gives a teacher useful statistics both on individual and class performance — this comes in handy during parents' days to share accurate feedback through a data-driven approach.

The depth of feedback that SIYA appears capable of generating is impressive — potentially surpassing what even the most diligent teacher could reasonably provide within the constraints of a working day. If SIYA performs in practice as demonstrated, it has the potential to address a long-standing professional concern we have repeatedly raised: unsustainable working hours due to excessive correction loads. We believe SIYA could improve working conditions and help attract more educators to the profession.

✦AI assistance · with teachers in control

AI proposes.
Teachers decide.

SIYA is built around a simple principle. Every evaluation, every recommendation, every flagged learning gap goes to a teacher before it goes anywhere else.

Our guarantees
  • Teachers review every AI-generated evaluation before it is shared with pupils, parents, or leadership.
  • AI suggestions can be edited, accepted, or rejected, and the system learns from those decisions.
  • Schools retain full pedagogical oversight. SIYA does not assign marks; teachers do.
  • Pupil work is not used to train SIYA's models.
  • Pupils and parents can request review or deletion of their data at any time, in line with GDPR rights.
✦Trust & compliance

Built for European school procurement.

The questions Maltese, German, Dutch and British heads ask in the first conversation, answered up front.

SIYA falls within the high-risk category under Annex III of the EU AI Act (AI systems used to evaluate learning outcomes). Our conformity assessment is currently in progress, target completion August 2026. Human oversight is built into every workflow: teachers review, edit, and approve every AI-generated evaluation before it is used.

All pupil data is stored on AWS Frankfurt (eu-central-1), European Union. We do not transfer personal data outside the EU. Sub-processors: AWS Frankfurt (eu-central-1) for hosting and storage, and Google Gemini API (Google Cloud EU region, covered under Google's EU Data Processing Addendum and Cloud Data Processing Terms — pupil data is not used to train Google's models and does not leave the EU).

No. Customer data, including pupil work, teacher annotations, and marks, is not used to train SIYA’s models. Schools can confirm this in writing in our DPA.

Yes. We provide a DPIA support pack, including data flow diagrams, sub-processor list, legal basis analysis, and risk-mitigation evidence, to every school during pilot setup.

SIYA currently supports English and Maltese handwriting recognition, ready for Malta schools from day one. Roadmap: Italian, French, Spanish, German.

SIYA is priced per pupil per year. New schools start with a free one-term pilot — no credit card, no procurement form, no commitment. From €25 per pupil per year. Contact us to discuss your school's size and requirements.
