About

Seneca is a free homework and revision platform for UK students (KS2 through A-Level, plus more), built on cognitive science: spaced repetition, active recall, interleaving, and visual memory cues delivered through short explanations and quick-fire questions. Adaptive algorithms personalize the difficulty to each student's performance, and a randomized controlled trial with 1,120 participants found users scored 2x higher than peers using other resources.

Students can use the core platform free forever; the AI-heavy features (AI tutor, unlimited exam-question practice, instant feedback on long-form answers) sit in the Premium AI+ school tier. Teachers get auto-marked homework and centralized gradebooks. It's the rare edtech tool where the free version is genuinely the main product.
