About ProfessorMe

Built at the heart of academic excellence

Edinburgh-based EdTech company with deep academic roots, building AI-powered multilingual education that's accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Our Mission

Education without boundaries

We believe every learner on Earth deserves unlimited, 24/7 access to an academic-quality, multilingual digital professor. Not a chatbot. Not a search engine. A genuine educational experience that adapts, responds, and teaches.

Our platform is designed to be deployable globally, including in countries with disrupted education systems, where access to qualified teachers is limited and the need is greatest. We are building technology that can reach the learners traditional systems cannot.

Accessible to all

Education that works in 175+ languages, for every learner, regardless of location or circumstance.

Academic quality

Built on academic rigour with roots in one of the world's top universities.

Global reach

Designed for deployment anywhere, from universities to communities with disrupted education infrastructure.

Our Story

From Edinburgh's AI community to the world

ProfessorMe was founded by Dr Kate Smith and Daisy McConville with a clear vision: to make high-quality, multilingual education accessible to everyone through the power of AI.

Based at the Bayes Centre at the University of Edinburgh, one of the world's leading centres for data science and AI, ProfessorMe went through the University of Edinburgh AI Accelerator, gaining access to world-class research, mentorship, and the academic community that continues to shape the company's approach.

That academic DNA runs through everything we build. Our products are not just technically advanced. They are pedagogically sound, designed with genuine learning outcomes in mind.
