How Pencil Spaces solves it
Pencil Spaces solves part of this today, and the features marked coming soon close more of the gap.
Before the first lesson, the AI Interviewer asked a nervous student’s parents about her: she loves drawing and hates being put on the spot. Her tutor read it.
So the first lesson starts with a drawing, not a question, and her camera stays off until she’s ready. Soon, Wellbeing Check-ins will let her say how she feels with one tap as she joins.
- AI InterviewerAvailableOne AI Interviewer runs the conversations behind hiring, matching and hearing each parent’s goals, at any volume.
- Wellbeing Check-insComing soonWellbeing Check-ins, in development, will ask each student how they feel with one tap as they join, and flag patterns over time to the staff you choose.

The usual way
