BUILDING FOR UN SDG 4 OPEN SOURCE

The AI that thinks
with you, not for you.

A real-time Socratic whiteboard where learning is not a chat, but a shared thinking space.

The Socratic Loop

Watch Tablo's multimodal reasoning in action.

App Vision

Scaling Socratic learning from individuals to institutions.

1

The Student

Built first for self-directed learners who are tired of being handed answers. Tablo is the thinking partner that helps you actually understand, not just copy.

2

The Educator

Tutors and learning platforms get an open-source tool they can build on — one that scaffolds a student's reasoning through questions and visual guidance, rather than doing the thinking for them.

3

The Institution

The long-term goal: schools and universities worldwide where every student has access to a personalized Socratic mentor — regardless of background or budget. This is our commitment to UN SDG 4.

Sustainable by Design

Open source at the core. Accessible at scale.

Tablo is free and open source forever — anyone can self-host, inspect, and build on it. Revenue comes from Tablo Cloud, a hosted version for students and institutions who want the full experience without any setup.

Open Source

Self-host for free. Full codebase on GitHub. Built for transparency and community.

Tablo Cloud

The no-setup hosted version. For students who just want to learn, and institutions who need it to just work.

Institutional

Dedicated support, usage analytics, and curriculum integration for schools and universities building at scale.

Roadmap

Building carefully. Launching confidently.

May 2026

Phase 1

Closed Beta

A limited group of early testers get free access to both Tablo Cloud and the open source version. One focused week of real usage to collect feedback, surface bugs, and validate the core experience.

June 2026

Phase 2

Open Beta

Bugs fixed, experience improved. A wider group of learners get access — still free. This is where Tablo gets stress-tested by real learners before public release.

July 2026

Phase 3

Public Launch

Tablo opens to everyone. Tablo Cloud launches for users who want zero setup, and the first paid tier becomes available for students and institutions. The open source community grows from early contributors into a fully supported ecosystem.

Socratic Loop

We replace chatbots with inquiry. Our engine probes and scaffolds your reasoning through real-time dialogue and visual cues.

Dialogue-basedVisual ReasoningReal-time Interruption

Multimodal

Low-latency architecture bridging voice, whiteboard, and model reasoning.

Canvas-Native

The whiteboard is the thinking surface. No sidebars—the AI lives where the ideas are.

Grounded

We integrate multimodal RAG to ensure every hint is contextually accurate and educationally sound.

Quality Education

Inclusive. Equitable.

The Builder Behind the Mission

AI chatbots are making us worse at learning. Here's why I'm building an alternative.

I'm a Software Engineering student who spends hours trying to untangle complex systems and understand difficult concepts. Every time I tried to use an LLM for help, I ran into the same wall: I'd paste text into a tiny box, the AI would just give me the answer, and I’d walk away having learned absolutely nothing.

Learning isn't a chat window. It's a conversation. It's messy, it's visual, and it requires a thinking partner who helps you figure it out visually, rather than just solving it for you.

That's why I'm building Tablo. Education should be inclusive, challenging, and universally accessible. Tablo is the tool I actually want to study with—an open-source intelligence that picks up the digital pen and nudges you forward.

AGPL v3

Building in the Open.

Education should be a public good. We ensure transparency, security, and a community-driven future.
