Pelmio helps teachers turn their own lesson notes into hands-on missions that learners explore, test and explain. AI does the heavy lifting. You make the calls that matter.
Your lesson notes
Sieving separates solids whose grains are different sizes. Small stones and maize grains are much larger than sand grains, so a sieve holds them back.
Salt dissolves in water but sand does not, so filtering salty water leaves the sand on the filter paper.
What learners will practise
Choose a method to separate a mixture, and explain the choice.

These run on the same engine learners use. Every lamp, reading and result is worked out by the activity itself, not made up.

Why missions
A typical generated quiz
Which method separates sand from water?
Often answerable by spotting the word that sounds right.
A Pelmio mission
You evaporated first. The sand and salt are now dry together in one dish.
Add water and stirFilterEvaporate
Learners act, see what happens, and explain why. A mistake costs a step, not the lesson.
For teachers
You bring the context: your lesson, your learners, your examples. Pelmio helps you turn it into a mission.
Upload the lesson notes, slides or handouts you already teach from: PDF, Word, PowerPoint or plain text.
Pelmio suggests learning objectives and shows the exact passage each one came from. Keep, reword or skip each one.
Pick an activity and say who it’s for. AI drafts the mission from your notes. Ask for changes in plain words, or edit anything yourself.
Play it the way a learner will. Nothing reaches your class until you approve it, and each class keeps the exact version you gave it.
Trust, built in
It reads your notes and writes the story, materials, questions and hints, quoting your notes as it goes.
Each activity has its own rules. It works out the answers itself and rejects anything that doesn’t add up, every time something changes.
You see every quote and every value, and change what you like. You judge what’s right for your class.
Checking a draft · sand, salt and stones
After class
Every prediction, attempt and explanation comes back to you. Read it, leave a note, add a hint, or give a fresh final check as a retake.
Your note Great change of plan. Next: why can’t a filter catch the salt?
Real classrooms
Learners sign in with a class code and their own code. No email addresses needed.
Work is saved on the device as learners go, and sent when the connection comes back.
Missions use your examples: the school garden tank, the slope behind the classroom, prices at the local shop.
Learners keep a route of finished missions in their own words. Progress means understanding, not streaks.
Hints open one at a time, including ones you write. Learners can ask you for help from inside a mission.
AI helps you prepare. During play, the activity’s own rules respond, so every learner gets the same fair mission.
From the founder
Technology is changing how people learn, and there is real room to shape where it goes. We believe one thing should stay fixed: teachers belong at the heart of education, wherever technology takes us.
A teacher knows their learners, their lesson and what matters today. No model can generate that. What AI can do is take on the heavy lifting: reading your notes, drafting the activity, checking every detail.
Pelmio is built on that partnership. The teacher leads and frontier AI assists, so that together they can reach learning outcomes that weren’t possible before.

Questions
Not yet. We’re building it with a small group of teachers first. Join the waitlist and we’ll write when there’s room for you.
Today there are four kinds of activity: separating mixtures and electric circuits in science, steady rates of change in maths, and weighing evidence, which works in any subject. We add activities one at a time, because each one has to get its subject right.
No. AI helps you prepare missions. When learners play, there’s no chatbot: the activity responds to what they do, by rules you can check.
Lesson notes, slides or handouts with real subject content. A topic title on its own isn’t enough to build from. If none of the activities suits an objective, Pelmio tells you instead of forcing one.
Teachers and schools. The first missions are written for learners aged about 11 to 14. Missions run in a web browser, best on tablets and laptops.
