Game-changing AI professor learning & development platform launched.
Female-founded EdTech company ProfessorMe Ltd today launches a learning and
development platform centred on an AI professor and cutting-edge content ingestion aimed
at revolutionising learning and teaching, and training.
Professor Dynamo is a game-changing live conversational avatar professor suitable for
enterprises, universities and NGOs, that meets learner demand for round the clock,
personalised and individualised learning and answers student questions about how to study
and deal with academic pressure in any of 175 languages.
The Edinburgh-based start-up is the brainchild of former academic Dr Kate Smith, CEO, and
co-founder Daisy McConville of ProfessorMe. Dr Smith saw firsthand the impact on students
and university staff of increasing demand for help with issues related to academic success.
The platform bulk ingests new and existing content, including handbooks, lecture slides and
static documents, and builds structured courses, giving every student their own AI Professor,
in their chosen language, adapted to how they learn, at a fraction of the cost of doing any
one of those things separately.
Dr Smith said: “To be successful in the Learning and Development sector you need to have
spent 29 years in the classroom or lecture hall. Teaching and accompanying students on
their journey through the trials and tribulations of their journey. All types of learners from all
backgrounds and lots of different situations.
“I carry the knowledge and memories of my students’ wins, victories and triumphs in my
heart and mind. We have synthesised this with AI.
“We have changed the experience of education into code to make those hard yards in the
classroom a quality education that is accessible and scalable to everyone regardless of their
background, gender or specific learning challenges, neuro inclusion or location.
“This is how AI EdTech companies will thrive. Combining deep professional experience and
building best in class infrastructure.”
Professor Dynamo is the only AI learning platform that ingests, creates, delivers, and
teaches, in any language, for any learner. It is neuro-inclusive by design.
David Farquhar, Chair of the Board at ProfessorMe, added: “Support for learners has never
been so important and that’s why the Professor Dynamo platform has a vital set of solutions
built with AI but with a very human heart to deliver positive social impact. I am excited about
our launch, but even more so about the opportunity to chair and guide this multi-
generational, female-founded, high potential scale-up across borders.”
Professor Dynamo is the only AI learning platform that ingests, creates, delivers, and
teaches, in any language, for any learner. It is cost-effective, interchangeable and adaptable,
so institutions and companies can produce resources at low cost, adapt them and easily
update them.

The AI professor helping students learn
A game-changing learning and development platform that helps students deal with the
stresses and strains of academic success is today launched by female-founded Edinburgh-
based ProfessorMe Ltd.
Professor Dynamo is a live conversational avatar that meets learner demand for round the
clock personalised and individualised learning and answers student questions about how to
study and deal with academic pressure in any of 175 languages.
The platform bulk ingests new and existing content, including handbooks, lecture slides and
static documents, and builds structured courses, and gives every student their own AI
Professor, in their chosen language, adapted to how they learn, at a fraction of the cost of
doing any one of those things separately.
The platform is the brainchild of former academic Dr Kate Smith, CEO and co-founder Daisy
McConville of ProfessorMe. Dr Smith saw firsthand the impact on students and university
staff of increasing demand for help with issues related to academic success.
Dr Smith said: “The double impact of performance anxiety and deficit stigma causes
compounded stresses when learners fear speaking up about knowledge gaps.
“Professor Dynamo provides a non-judgmental and easily accessible environment where all
students can seek advice in confidence, knowing the content is created by real academics.”
The award-winning start-up’s social impact mission is to rollout Professor Dynamo to
companies, universities and NGOs, to help all learners and improve educational and training
outcomes.
Dr Smith added: “It works for institutions too, because early support for learning prevents
major issues further down the line, which often takes up valuable staff time. This leading
edge learning platform also ingests existing lectures, recordings, slides and workbooks, and
turns them into multilingual courses delivered by Professor Dynamo.”
The inclusive learning environment is suitable for enterprises, universities and NGOs, and
knows the course content, answers questions, and maintains context for each learner. It is
neuro-inclusive by design and helps students with skills from how to write an essay to how to
deal with workload, imposter syndrome and anxiety.
Professor Dynamo is available from Thursday 4 June 2026 at professorme.com.
