Medly AI

Medly AI is an EdTech startup that provides an AI-powered tutoring platform designed to address educational inequalities. The company was founded in London, United Kingdom, in 2023 by Dr. Kavi Samra and Dr. Paul Jung, two former NHS doctors who met at University College London (UCL). Both founders grew up in low-income households and experienced educational disparities firsthand, which motivated them to leave their medical careers to create a solution that democratizes access to personalized education. Paul Jung holds a PhD in psychiatric neuroscience, and the platform's proprietary architecture incorporates insights from neuroscience and proven teaching theories to create adaptive learning experiences.

Medly AI targets students aged 14-18 preparing for exams such as GCSEs, A-Levels, the International Baccalaureate (IB), and in the US, AP exams and the SAT. The company operates on a dual B2C revenue model, offering a free mobile app with core features and a premium web-based application called Medly Exams for full exam paper practice and personalized insights. The platform's features include AI-predicted exam papers tailored to specific exam boards, real-time marking and feedback, adaptive questions, and visual tools to track progress. Its architecture utilizes multiple specialized AI models and incorporates safety mechanisms to prevent hallucinations and inappropriate content. By February 2025, the platform had reached over 30,000 monthly active users.

The company is backed by notable institutional partners, including UCL, Innovate UK, Microsoft, and Google, which have provided grants and credits. In February 2025, Medly AI announced it had secured £1.7 million in a seed funding round led by Eka Ventures with participation from Ada Ventures to expand its operations. Medly AI has also formed a partnership with m2r Education, a UK-based recruitment and tutoring provider, to expand its global reach.
