What Flint does
Flint is an AI platform for K-12 schools, districts and trusts, built around an AI assistant called Sparky that tutors students and helps teachers build, assign and monitor activities. It serves schools in the US and UK. Teachers can create activities from their own PDFs, slides and links by chatting with Sparky, watch student sessions live with alerts when help is needed, and grade with custom rubrics, gradebooks and reports. Sparky guides with hints and questions rather than giving answers,. Other tools include a whiteboard, speech, code running and cited web search, with SIS and LMS rostering. Flint is free for up to 80 users, and paid annual plans start at $3,000 for up to 150 users.
