What Is Classico?
Classico is a spoken conversation assignment platform for teachers and students. Students talk through ideas in the browser while Classico scores reasoning in real time.
Classico explained for teachers and administrators
Classico is an education technology platform built for spoken conversation assignments. Instead of typing answers that can be copied from AI tools, students explain and defend ideas out loud while a guide character named Tink keeps the conversation moving.
Teachers publish conversation topics, set due dates, and share a class join code. Students open classico.education in the browser, join the class, and complete assignments question by question. Classico transcribes speech, scores reasoning on a transparent rubric, and saves everything for teacher review.
The product is designed for middle school, high school, and introductory college courses where argument, explanation, and connection to current events matter.
What problems Classico solves
- Students can paste AI generated text into traditional homework without understanding it.
- Oral participation in class does not scale to every student every week.
- Teachers lack time to listen to full recordings from every student.
- Schools need accountability without banning useful technology outright.
Core parts of the Classico experience
Conversation assignments
Each assignment contains several conversation prompts. Students respond by voice. Tink asks follow up questions when answers need more depth or coherence.
Live Classico scoring
Three rings track Depth of Reasoning, Coherence, and Relating to Modern Events. Scores update while the student is still talking so they can improve before submitting.
Teacher review dashboard
Teachers see transcripts, subscores, and optional short audio samples for voice verification. Review takes minutes, not hours.
Who Classico is for
Classico is for teachers who want students to practice real thinking, not just formatted paragraphs. It fits history, English, social studies, science discussion units, and any course where spoken explanation is part of the learning goal.
