Yes. Every subject follows the CAPS curriculum for Grades R–12 — explanations, worked examples and quizzes track the topics your child covers each term, in the order schools teach them. ### Can BrightMind help my child with past papers? Yes. Learners can drill past-paper style questions with full step-by-step memos, and the AI whiteboard draws out the trickiest Grade 12 problems line by line until they click. ### How is this different from ChatGPT? ChatGPT answers; BrightMind teaches. It draws step-by-step on an interactive whiteboard, builds week-by-week study plans, quizzes for mastery, shows parents a weekly report — and connects you to verified human tutors when AI isn't enough. ### What does BrightMind cost? Starting is free. Flat monthly AI plans run R99–R289 depending on grade — no credits, no meters, cancel anytime. One-on-one human tutor sessions are booked separately. ### Which grades and subjects are covered? Grades R–12, all CAPS subjects — including Mathematics, Mathematical Literacy, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, English, Afrikaans, isiZulu and more. ### Can I see what my child is doing? Yes. Parents get their own dashboard plus a weekly email report per child: quizzes written, averages, wins, and the topics that need attention. ### Does BrightMind work on a basic phone with little data? Yes. BrightMind runs in any mobile browser — no heavy app download — and the chat-first design sips data. The whiteboard and video sessions use more, but core homework help stays light. ### How do you keep my child safe? Explanations are age-appropriate, learners can't contact strangers (tutors are booked by parents through the app), and every account uses secure sign-in. Parents see all activity on their own dashboard. ### 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.
