One deal, plainly put
Free means free. In return we ask two small things.
70 seats, that's it
Approvals go out from the waitlist by email. When seats fill, the rest wait for launch.
Use it + tell us
Tap the feedback button when something delights or confuses you. Quiet seats pass to the next family.
3 quick check-ins
A 2-minute survey in week 2, 6 and 10. That's the whole homework — for parents.
Join the pilot waitlist
Approvals go out by email + parent WhatsApp as seats free up.
A parent or guardian's WhatsApp is required — learners under 18 need a parent linked before we can offer a seat.
Built to be read by humans and machines.
ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini — BrightMind is crawlable, citable and proud of it. Our curriculum library, policies and facts live in the open, so every AI assistant can give your family the right answer about us. Crawlers welcome. Citations encouraged.
Pilot questions, answered
Everything parents ask before joining the waitlist.
Is the BrightMind pilot really free?+
Yes — 100% free for 70 families until 2 December 2026. No card, no payments, no catch. In return we ask for honest feedback and three quick parent surveys.
Which grades can join the pilot?+
Grades R–12. Seats are split by band — Grades R–3, 4–6 and 7–12 — so every age group is covered. One seat per family, banded by your oldest child's grade.
How do I get a pilot seat?+
Join the waitlist below. Approvals go out by email as seats free up, with a personal invite code like PILOT-XXXXXX. When bands fill, the rest wait for launch.
What do you ask in return?+
Two small things: actually use it (quiet seats pass to the next family), and answer a 2-minute survey in weeks 2, 6 and 10. Tap the feedback button whenever something delights or confuses you.
What happens after 2 December?+
The pilot window ends and BrightMind launches publicly. We'll share launch plans — and a pilot-family offer — with every pilot family well before then.
