Lamdi is built in Canberra by Groundwork Education. It comes out of twenty years of sitting next to students who were not short of ability.
Over twenty years — first as a maths tutor in high school and university, then increasingly as a coach — David worked one-to-one with more than a hundred students.
The pattern was always the same. The capable ones weren't failing because of capability. They were failing because of interference: life, time, attention, not knowing where to start.
The conversations stopped being about maths and started being about what was on their plate, and how they were feeling about it.
Lamdi is that conversation, built into a product.
Most of the decisions in Lamdi are about what to leave out. These three are settled, and they are not up for revisiting.
Nothing in Lamdi rewards you for showing up daily or punishes you for a gap. A tool that makes you feel worse for missing a day is not helping with the problem students actually have.
When a student falls behind, Lamdi rebuilds the plan from where they are. It does not present a list of everything that slipped. Falling behind is normal and the tool treats it that way.
Lamdi uses AI to break an assessment into steps. Every step can be changed, split or rejected, and nothing proceeds without the student confirming it. It never writes the work.
Lamdi is built by David and operated by Groundwork Education Pty Ltd, registered in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. There is no team behind the curtain — when you email, the person who replies is the person who built it.
Lamdi is for students in Years 7 to 12. It has not opened to students yet. A first group will get access, free, and we would rather say that plainly than imply a scale that doesn't exist. How we handle student data is set out in the privacy policy.
It's free for the pilot group. Leave your email and we'll be in touch before it starts.
