Built for the classroom, not in place of it
Echosaw Academics started with two teachers and two problems: weak concepts rarely raise their hand, and hunting for them across thirty students eats hours teachers don’t have.
Why we built Echosaw Academics
Academics is close to home for us. Our first two users were teachers.
We believe great teaching is a craft: reading a room, adjusting on the fly, knowing which student needs a nudge and which needs space. Real learning happens in the struggle, not around it. AI has no business doing that work for anyone.
What it should do is give time back.
A teacher shouldn’t have to spend time hunting for the place a student is weakest. A student shouldn’t have to spend time admitting where they’re weakest. Both should already know.
Echosaw Academics shows the gaps to both sides at the same time. Teachers see the student, the exact weak concept, and the evidence behind it. Students get a review schedule that puts those weak concepts first, not static repetitive cards. The hunting ends. The teaching and the learning begin.
Echosaw takes your recordings, board photos, and links and returns flashcards and tests grounded in the source, every answer clickable to its origin.
Nothing does the thinking for them. It just removes the hunting for both sides.
That’s the line we drive with Echosaw for Academics: a tool that supports the classroom, not one that stands in for it.

Who builds Echosaw
Matthew
Founder and CEO
Matthew is the founder of Orange Sky Software and the person who designed and engineered the spatiotemporal multimodal analysis engine behind Echosaw. Before this he was an AWS Architect and the Information Security Manager for a global software firm in the U.K. That is still the job: architecture, security, production, and the call on what ships. Marketing too.
Outside of work he is on a tractor or walking through his orchard.
Cedric
Marketing & Development
Cedric is an apprentice at Echosaw. His work sits across UX, social, SEO, and SEM: the seam between the product and the people who have to find it. That is the job. He is here for the overlap of digital marketing and technology, and he is learning it on a live system before he runs a company of his own.
Outside of work he is a travel addict. Bali and Australia are next.
Devin
Parallel AI Engineers, Cognition
Devin is Cognition’s AI software engineer; not a copilot in the sidebar. At Echosaw, Devin runs as parallel engineers against a well scoped sprint: about 1–5 when it is quiet, about 5–10 when the board is heavy. Each Devin gets a task, a repo, a shell, tests, and a pull request.
Matthew decides architecture, security, and whether the change is done. Devin absorbs the volume (migrations, coverage, refactors, glue) so a smaller company can run an N-size engineering load at any instant.
