What COSMIQ is
Short description: COSMIQ is a voice-driven AI tutor for K-12 students, families, schools, and districts. Its public research surfaces analyze education data and publish the methods, limitations, and underlying numbers so readers can check the work.
Approved boilerplate: COSMIQ is a free AI tutoring platform for students and families, with school and district tools for guided learning, practice, reporting, and curriculum alignment. COSMIQ's public research uses aggregate education data from official and public sources; it is independent of the schools, districts, colleges, and state agencies represented in its datasets.

Results are snapshots, not official accountability determinations. State tests use different definitions and cut scores; missing or older data is identified rather than silently filled. COSMIQ does not use these public research surfaces to identify individual students or make AI-authorship, plagiarism, misconduct, or intent determinations.
