Built on trust

AI drafts. You decide.

That’s the rule in every Skybird product. The AI does the first draft and the heavy lifting, and a person makes the call. Published privacy policies cover GradAssist, Skylark, Birdbrain and Homeschool Hero. For Eagle Nest, Power Administrator and Altair, we share the privacy terms before any pilot or testing begins.

Who decides? You do, in every product.

  • GradAssistSuggests margin comments and a score. You approve every grade.

  • SkylarkKati drafts the material. You review it and decide what reaches your class.

  • BirdbrainShows the working and coaches. It won’t write the essay for you.

  • Eagle NestKati can draft a mark that only the teacher sees. The teacher decides, and practice never moves a grade.

  • Homeschool HeroDrafts the week for each child. You choose what your children learn.

  • Power AdministratorBuilt to write the first draft, never the final word. A leader approves every one.

  • AltairDrafts feedback and course material. Nothing reaches a student until the teacher submits it.

Who builds it

Built by people who know education.

Skybird.AI was founded in Florida in 2025 to build AI around the way people actually work.

Which product is right for me?

Use the audience filter above to narrow the list, or tell us about your work and we’ll point you to the right one.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, on most of them. GradAssist, Skylark and Homeschool Hero share one set of plans: Free at $0 with no credit card, Basic at $9.99 a month, and Premium at $29.99 a month. On Homeschool Hero the free plan covers record keeping and the state checklists, and AI planning starts on Basic.

Birdbrain is a free download with 10 free credits. Credit packs start at $0.99, and Birdbrain Pro is $19.99 a month. Power Administrator (early access) and Altair (beta) are arranged directly with us. Eagle Nest is in private testing, with pricing at launch.

Do I need separate accounts?

Not for GradAssist, Skylark and Homeschool Hero. One Skybird account and one plan work across all three, so you can move between them without signing up again.

Birdbrain is a separate app for iPhone and Mac. On iPhone there’s no sign-up and no password: your account is tied to your device. Altair is hosted for each institution, so faculty and students sign in at their college’s own address. In Eagle Nest, teachers and students sign in with a code: three words and two numbers.

How do you handle student data?

Published privacy policies cover GradAssist, Skylark, Birdbrain and Homeschool Hero. You’ll find the links in the “Built on trust” section above. For Eagle Nest, Power Administrator and Altair, we share the privacy terms before any pilot or testing begins.

The products are also designed to keep people in charge. GradAssist suggests a score, and the instructor approves every grade. In Altair, nothing reaches a student until the teacher submits it. Skylark’s Rooms need no student accounts, and teachers can read every transcript. If your school needs more detail, talk to us.

Can a school or district buy for everyone?

Talk to us. Today GradAssist, Skylark and Homeschool Hero are self-serve plans, one per person. If you want to bring one of them to a whole department, school or district, we’ll work out the details with you.

Altair is built for institutions: each college gets its own hosted instance and address. Power Administrator is in early access for school and campus leaders. Eagle Nest, in private testing, gives each teacher a class site of their own.

What is Eagle Nest?

Eagle Nest is a class website that works like a companion, not a filing cabinet. It’s for K-12 and college classes, and it’s in private testing now.

Students sign in with a code, three words and two numbers. The site greets each one by name and says what to do next: today’s check, the reading, the quiz that’s due. It keeps track of what every student has read, answered and turned in, and it keeps practice apart from grades, so practice can never move a grade.

Teachers type a request into the Ask box, and Kati builds the quiz or page right into the class. Graded quizzes mark themselves on the server the moment students hand them in, so their answer keys never reach the browser, and then explain why each answer was right or wrong. Try the live demo from the Eagle Nest page, or ask us for access.

What is Altair?

Altair is our learning management system for colleges and universities, now in beta. It feels like the system faculty and students already know, and it has AI built into every part of the course.

A teacher can upload a course export from their current platform and Altair rebuilds the course in about a minute. Its Banner connector, tested in beta against a Banner-style test college, keeps sections and rosters in sync. The AI drafts course books, problem sets with rubrics, quizzes from the course’s own material, and feedback with margin comments, and the teacher reviews every word before anything reaches a student. Each institution gets its own hosted instance. Request a demo to see it.
