An AI tutor for schools the internet hasn't reached: it runs entirely on a laptop, with no cloud and no student data leaving the room.
The problem
Millions of children learn in schools with no connectivity — exactly where a tutor that explains things step by step would make the biggest difference. Today's AI assistants depend on the cloud, so in those classrooms they simply don't exist.
What we built
A free, open-source science and maths tutor that works 100% offline. Each question goes through a safety filter, is searched against a local library of openly licensed articles, and a small language model running on the laptop itself writes a simple explanation, cites its source and ends with a question to check the student understood. If the material doesn't cover the topic, it says it doesn't know instead of making something up. The first words appear in under 2 seconds.

Mocla's role
Built end to end as a solo project: concept, product, engineering, website and storytelling. It continues the path of Urli OS, an operating system used in public schools and universities across Latin America and India, and takes it to places the network hasn't reached yet.
