Kira AI Operating System for Education

Kira Learning (Kira Learning Inc.) is an education technology company with offices in San Francisco and New York City, chaired by Andrew Ng, with Andrea Pasinetti as CEO and co-founder. It began with computer science and AI literacy courses for schools and now supports all subjects.

Kira describes itself as an AI operating system for education that runs instruction, assessment and intervention as one connected system. AI agents generate standards-aligned courses and lessons, give real-time individual tutoring and feedback, grade work, flag struggling students with recommended interventions and feed administrator dashboards. It integrates with an existing LMS or runs as a standalone one.

• Course creation: standards-aligned courses and lessons generated by AI.
• Real-time tutoring: individualised AI tutoring and feedback for students.
• Assessment and mastery: mastery model updated from student responses to drive grading.
• Intervention and MTSS: gaps identified with targeted support inside instruction.
• Multilingual adaptation: instruction adjusted to language proficiency and special needs.
• Administrator dashboards: engagement, outcomes and instructional effectiveness.

International and private schools in Vietnam can use AI course generation and tutoring for subjects and AI literacy programmes. School groups can use the dashboards to compare outcomes across campuses. Virtual or credit-recovery programmes can offset teacher staffing gaps.

Districts can reduce tool sprawl by running instruction, assessment and intervention in one system. Teachers control instructional content and see visible rubrics and logic. Student data stays under district control and the platform is designed to meet FERPA and COPPA requirements. Early detection of struggling students comes with recommended interventions.

School systems are consolidating separate edtech tools into AI-native platforms that combine lesson planning, tutoring, grading and intervention. Vietnam's plan to add AI lessons across general education from 2026-2027 points to rising demand for such platforms among private and international schools in the region.
