The EdTech AI 100

A map of the tools shaping how the world learns in the AI era — grouped by what they actually do, and tagged by where they’re built. But a map only tells you what exists. The question that decides what to build, buy, or back is a different one: does a tool fit the exam a student actually sits, in their languages, at a price they can pay, on the connection they have? That is what almost no other resource answers — and what every tool below is read through here, using the Four Mismatches Test.

The one number that matters most is the one almost no one maps. Of these 100 tools, 79 were built in Tier-1 or Greater-China and Korean markets. Just 21 were built in the Global South — Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, the Middle East — for the students who actually sit these exams, in their languages, at their prices. Those 21 are marked in blue on the map.

How to read this map

Where a tool is built doesn’t decide whether it fits your students — a tool can be system-native to one country and an export everywhere else. That judgement is what the Four Mismatches Test is for. Every name links to a profile with the maker, the exam fit, and an honest verdict.
