OUR STORY

Transforming Education
One Student at a Time

Born from the frustration of missed lectures and endless note-taking, Classify is on a mission to make learning more accessible, effective, and enjoyable for every student.

OUR MISSION

Why We Exist

"Every student deserves access to personalized, AI-powered learning tools that adapt to their unique needs and learning style."

We believe that technology should enhance human learning, not replace it. Our AI doesn't just transcribe lectures—it understands context, identifies key concepts, and creates personalized study materials that help students truly comprehend and retain information.

Innovation-driven
Student-focused
Privacy-first
Accessible to all
THE BEGINNING

How Classify Was Born

Like many great ideas, Classify started with a problem that needed solving.

The Problem

Our founders were frustrated students who constantly struggled with fast-paced lectures, illegible handwriting, and the impossible task of taking comprehensive notes while actually understanding the material.

Struggling to create effective study materials

The Solution

What if AI could handle the note-taking, so students could focus on understanding? What if technology could create personalized study materials automatically? That's when Classify was born.
