The learning layer between content and understanding

Spider helps university students understand their course, not just search it.

Spider connects lectures, notes, readings, and course materials into an AI-powered learning system that helps students ask better questions, track understanding, and build deeper knowledge.

University learning is fragmented.

Students move between lecture slides, recordings, Moodle pages, notes, readings, and assessment guidance. The content exists, but it is disconnected. Spider turns that material into a connected learning layer students can use to understand their course in context.

  • Lecture slides
  • Recordings
  • Moodle pages
  • Notes
  • Readings & papers
  • Seminars
  • Assessment guidance

How Spider works

01

Connect course materials

Bring together lectures, notes, readings, papers, and module content.

02

Ask questions in context

Get answers grounded in the actual material students are studying.

03

Build understanding over time

Identify gaps, connect ideas, and track learning progress.

Inside Spider

See how new content fits with your learning.

Spider reads alongside your course materials. As you work through a paper, it highlights key concepts, links them to your modules, and flags ideas you have not covered yet — so every reading connects back to what you are actually studying.

For universities

Course-grounded AI for serious learning.

Spider gives universities a way to support AI-assisted learning while keeping course materials, academic context, and student understanding at the centre.

  • Grounded in your own course content
  • Student feedback & learning analytics
  • Designed for research and pilots
