Brighterly, an online learning platform offering math and ELA 1:1 tutoring sessions to K-12 students, has launched the beta version of AI Lesson Summaries. The goal of this feature is to address the “forgotten lesson” problem in which students who don’t revisit material immediately can lose up to 70% of newly learned information, according to studies on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve and memory decay.
AI Lesson Summaries automatically create a brief recap of what was learned in class right after it ends. Already live for some Brighterly families, the feature is expected to roll out to all users by the end of 2026.
Eugene Kashuk, CEO and founder of Brighterly, sees this as a big step towards fulfilling the company’s core mission:
"We built Brighterly on the belief that great teachers and smart technology are most powerful when they work together. AI Lesson Summaries is that belief in action. It takes what a tutor creates in a session and extends its impact far beyond the hour, helping kids build knowledge that lasts."
How AI Lesson Summaries Work
The AI Lesson Summaries is an AI assistant that analyzes the lesson recording to extract key points and learning milestones after one-on-one classes between students and their tutors conclude. Instead of providing a full, unedited transcript of the class, this feature generates a child-friendly lesson recap. It highlights the most important concepts the student has learned and practiced and pays close attention to areas that need more work. Overall, the summary includes:
- A clear summary of the math or ELA concepts covered in class
- Key takeaways and insights from the topic
- Simple real-life activities to practice the knowledge
Maxim Galiiov, head of product at Brighterly, says the feature was built to solve a common parent pain point:
"Parents told us they loved the results of our tutoring but felt disconnected from the process. Feedback sessions shouldn't be a luxury — they should be instant. We created AI Lesson Summaries to give parents a clear recap of every session, the second it finishes."
AI use for school-related purposes in the United States rose over the past year, increasing by 26% among students and 21% among educators, according to Microsoft’s "2025 AI in Education" report. The way people use these tools is also changing. Brighterly is actively gathering information and feedback from early adopters of AI Lesson Summaries. Based on it, the feature will evolve over time, and the summaries will include even more personalized content, helping families:
- Understand what their child knows and where they stand
- Spot potential knowledge gaps before they become blockers
- Reduce the stress of keeping up with a child's academic progress
The Problem AI Lesson Summaries Solve
One of the biggest obstacles to academic growth isn't the quality of teaching, but what happens once the class ends. The gap is driven by the forgetting curve — a pattern that shows how quickly new information fades without reinforcement, affecting effectiveness and academic success.
Without a timely recap, students forget much of what they have learned during the class in just one day. Outside of school and tutoring sessions, helping children with subjects they struggle with often falls to the parents, who often don’t have time nor enough in-depth knowledge on a particular subject.
Availability and Roadmap
Brighterly is currently rolling out the AI Lesson Summaries beta, aiming to make it available to all users by the end of 2026. Looking ahead, the company plans to add built-in self-practice functionality to AI Lesson Summaries, based on each student's individual takeaways and key learnings. These custom summaries will not only recap the lesson but also focus on key areas students struggle with to help fill knowledge gaps as well as redirect students to personalized practice materials.
