SIYA helps K-12 schools reduce teacher workload by analysing handwritten pupil work, identifying learning gaps, and supporting targeted interventions, while keeping teachers fully in control.
No credit card. No procurement form.
A 20-minute conversation to see if SIYA fits your school.
Marking eats evenings and weekends. The shared misconception, the topic half the class never grasped, are nearly impossible to spot by hand, until the next unit has already started.
SIYA turns existing workflows into sharper learning insights, without changing how teachers teach.
Teachers upload handwritten work as mobile photos, scanned papers, or PDFs. No new hardware. No special paper.
SIYA reads each pupil’s responses and identifies patterns, misconceptions, and learning gaps mapped to your curriculum.
Every evaluation goes to the teacher for review. Edit, override, or accept, the teacher always has the final word.
The teacher always has the final word. AI proposes. Teachers decide.
Go from Pupil hand written answers to insights in under a minute. Watch how SIYA reads handwritten answers, maps every gap, and shows you exactly what Pupil thinking.
Four things SIYA is here to do. Nothing more, nothing less.
Spot the misconception three pupils share, the topic half the class never grasped — weeks before it shows up in formal assessment results.
Get targeted, curriculum-aligned recommendations the teacher can use, adapt, or ignore.
Reduce repetitive marking and administrative workload, so teachers spend time where it matters.
Pilot data forthcoming · Malta 2026–27No new assessment formats. No redesigned lesson plans. SIYA fits inside your existing classroom practice.
Heads of school, deputies, and DPOs have questions classroom teachers don't. We've built SIYA, and this site, to answer them up front.
Supports national curricula, and teacher-defined rubrics.
Every AI-generated evaluation is reviewable, editable, and overridable by the teacher. Schools retain full pedagogical oversight.
Pupil data hosted on AWS Frankfurt (eu-central-1), European Union only. DPA available before pilot begins. Pupil work is never used to train our models.
Works alongside existing assessment practices. Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams for Education supported. Onboarding measured in days, not months.
We work closely with teachers and senior leadership in schools to shape SIYA around how marking actually happens. Anonymised reference details are available on request.
We collect our first reference six weeks into each pilot. When we publish a quote, it's the teacher's words, unedited, never written by us.
The same engine, adapted for European curricula, hosted in AWS Frankfurt (eu-central-1). The Indian roots gave us platform maturity; the European launch is built for European procurement.
Schools that run a SIYA pilot don't need to take our word for it. Here is what the first six weeks typically look like.
Teachers upload their first class sets. Within days they are seeing which pupils missed which concept — not just who got it wrong, but where the thinking broke down. The first conversation in the staffroom usually starts here.
Once SIYA has observed a month of work, patterns emerge that no single marking session would reveal. Three pupils sharing the same misconception. A concept that the whole year group is quietly struggling with. Things worth acting on before the end of term.
Teachers arrive at parent meetings with something specific to say — not just a grade, but an observation. 'Maya's written reasoning is getting stronger. Here is what we have noticed.' That specificity changes the conversation.
I was genuinely excited and buzzing to use SIYA as a tool for assessing my pupils' work. The depth of feedback which SIYA generates overwhelmingly surpasses the feedback which even the most dedicated teacher can give. Its analytics section gives a teacher useful statistics both on individual and class performance — this comes in handy during parents' days to share accurate feedback through a data-driven approach.
The depth of feedback that SIYA appears capable of generating is impressive — potentially surpassing what even the most diligent teacher could reasonably provide within the constraints of a working day. If SIYA performs in practice as demonstrated, it has the potential to address a long-standing professional concern we have repeatedly raised: unsustainable working hours due to excessive correction loads. We believe SIYA could improve working conditions and help attract more educators to the profession.

SIYA is built by a small team in Malta, backed by 49 people in India who have been running the product at scale for years. We come from education, technology and research — and we have spent years inside classrooms, not just studying them.
Serial entrepreneur with 17+ years in EdTech. Suman has built and scaled learning programs that reached thousands of schools and a million learners across India. He started SIYA because he believes in a world where no child's thinking goes unnoticed — and no teacher spends their evening not knowing why.
EdTech background at NxtWave, working across product marketing, user engagement, and teaching-led customer insights. At SIYA he runs every Malta partnership, pilot, and growth operation on the ground.
Prof. Mifsud has spent his career studying how children learn to read, write and think — and how to spot when something is going wrong before it is too late. His role at SIYA is simple: make sure what SIYA tells a teacher is actually right about that child.
SIYA is built around a simple principle. Every evaluation, every recommendation, every flagged learning gap goes to a teacher before it goes anywhere else.
The questions Maltese, German, Dutch and British heads ask in the first conversation, answered up front.
SIYA falls within the high-risk category under Annex III of the EU AI Act (AI systems used to evaluate learning outcomes). Our conformity assessment is currently in progress, target completion August 2026. Human oversight is built into every workflow: teachers review, edit, and approve every AI-generated evaluation before it is used.
All pupil data is stored on AWS Frankfurt (eu-central-1), European Union. We do not transfer personal data outside the EU. Sub-processors: AWS Frankfurt (eu-central-1) for hosting and storage, and Google Gemini API (Google Cloud EU region, covered under Google's EU Data Processing Addendum and Cloud Data Processing Terms — pupil data is not used to train Google's models and does not leave the EU).
No. Customer data, including pupil work, teacher annotations, and marks, is not used to train SIYA’s models. Schools can confirm this in writing in our DPA.
Yes. We provide a DPIA support pack, including data flow diagrams, sub-processor list, legal basis analysis, and risk-mitigation evidence, to every school during pilot setup.
SIYA currently supports English and Maltese handwriting recognition, ready for Malta schools from day one. Roadmap: Italian, French, Spanish, German.
SIYA is priced per teacher per year. New schools start with a free one-term pilot — no credit card, no procurement form, no commitment. From €250 per teacher per year. Contact us to discuss your school's size and requirements.
