Frequently Asked Questions
Isn't this just ChatGPT dressed up?
No. Thryva uses AI in the background, but it's locked into the Australian school curriculum. That means it can't wander off-topic, give random internet answers, or produce content outside what your child is supposed to learn.
How do I know the answers are accurate?
We've built guardrails: content is checked against curriculum standards, and answers are explained step-by-step, not just handed over. That way your child sees how to get to the answer, not just the end result.
Won't this make my child lazy, or worse—cheat?
Not with Thryva. Unlike open AI tools, Thryva is designed for learning, not shortcuts. We limit what the AI can do so it supports understanding, practice, and revision, rather than writing the essay for them.
How is this different from my child just Googling or using ChatGPT directly?
Google and ChatGPT are unfiltered. Kids can (and do) end up with misinformation, biased content, or irrelevant material. Thryva keeps them inside the walls of their year level, their subjects, and their curriculum.
What about privacy—where does my child's data go?
We don't sell or share personal data. Everything is stored securely in Australia. Parents stay in control, and students aren't building some shadow online profile like they do when using free global tools.
Do teachers actually support this?
We've consulted educators to make sure Thryva fits alongside school learning, not against it. Teachers still want kids writing essays, solving problems, and studying—Thryva just makes practice and revision more effective.
My child already gets tutoring. Why would I need this?
Tutoring gives them support a few hours a week. Thryva is there 24/7. It doesn't replace a teacher or tutor—it gives your child a study companion they can lean on at any hour.
Which subjects and curriculums does Thryva cover?
Thryva covers all major subjects across the Australian curriculum frameworks: NESA (NSW), VCAA (Victoria), QCAA (Queensland), and ACARA (national). This includes Mathematics, English, Science, History, Geography, and more. We're constantly expanding our subject coverage to ensure every student gets the support they need, regardless of their state or school system.
