What you build with Fount
Author in your own voice
Build a fresh course every term from your lecture notes, slides, and readings. The authorship is yours; the production work is Fount's.
Tutor in real dialogue
A Conversational Tutor grounded in your materials, holding every student in spoken and written dialogue without giving the answer away.
Assess with integrity
Assessments that can't be faked, judged against your own rubric. Fount points you to the key moments and the evidence; the grade is always yours.
The faculty who authored the course
“Fount helped my Learning Frameworks students grasp meaning to concepts and helped them to build lifelong study habits. The virtual tutor was a great addition to the course and helped to personalize learning for each student.”
“With Fount, I built an AI tutor grounded in my course content to prepare students for their classroom observations and reinforce the concepts I cover in class. It gave every student targeted, one-on-one support and kept them engaged and learning.”
Their students
“Instead of just reading and memorizing lessons, vocabulary, and key concepts, I can actually talk through them and understand how I'll teach these ideas to my own students someday.”
Student · Dallas College“I really loved using this AI studying tool. Feels like you're talking and getting help from someone in real life.”
Student · Dallas College“I never get tired of this. It's such a neat way to learn.”
Student · Houston City CollegePackaged Courseware is over.
For a century, one author's textbook, frozen at publication, was taught by thousands of professors who would each have done it differently. AI ended that trade: a publishing cycle's work now happens under one professor's direction, in days, in her own voice.
Faculty-Authored Courseware is what comes next.
Three planes can slice through one common point, or be arranged so that no single point lies on all three, or share a whole line. Those are the only three answers a linear system has.
A free, interactive textbook in your voice.
Fount supports you in creating a high-quality, interactive, free digital textbook. Begin with your expertise and whatever you already have on hand. You decide what the book teaches and how; Fount helps you with design, creating interactive content, and getting it to your students.
From your notes to a full course, in days.
Start with a textbook, an open one or one you wrote on Fount, and build the full course around it: a course calendar, assessments for every unit, and the interactive materials that teach alongside the reading, with the Conversational Tutor throughout. The authorship is yours; the production work is Fount's.
A Conversational Tutor, grounded in your course.
Your students, in real dialogue – spoken and written. Grounded in your materials and your objectives, the Tutor questions, gives feedback, and checks comprehension, without ever handing over the answer. The Oxford tutorial, at gateway-course scale.
Integrity, without surveillance.
Students talk through their work out loud, on your rubric: while they are building an essay, or defending a finished one. The tutor shows you the learning behind the product, the feedback they took up in their writing and the way their arguments met your rubric.

Built on forty years of learning science
Three findings decide how Fount is built, and none of them are ours. Bloom’s tutoring studies set the target, Chi and Wylie’s ICAP framework is why the Tutor questions rather than explains, and Mayer’s work on multimedia learning governs how every interactive page is laid out.
A white paper setting out the full evidence base is forthcoming.
