Hey ProductHunt community 👋
Martin here from Profound Academy 🚀. We help teachers provide in-depth Computer Science knowledge through hands-on learning, while also automating ~80% of the work done by teachers and their assistants; like checking homework, giving feedback, and answering common questions.
🕐 Problem
A lot of teachers at universities and schools want to give deep and comprehensive knowledge to their students. Yet, many of them don't have enough time to do everything at once: design a course, manage students, check homework assignments, and answer questions. Especially for Computer Science, practice is really important, and the lack of it can result in partial knowledge.
✨ Our Solution
We help teachers in every step of the process, making sure they can focus on mastery-based learning.
- The platform automates assignment checking and gives instant feedback to students' submissions.
- Teachers can use and fully customize any of the 1000+ tutorials, assessment questions, and hands-on coding exercises to easily enhance their courses (teachers can create any exercise from scratch as well).
- Many of the materials have already been translated into 10 different languages, helping international students learn better.
- The platform helps to detect cheating cases; be it from another student or an AI tool like ChatGPT or Claude, ensuring a fair environment for learners which promotes academic excellence.
- The AI Assistant on the platform helps answer common questions whenever students get stuck and guides them in the right direction, without revealing answers or pointing out solutions.
- Even the checking process of open-ended exercises, like theorem proofs or step-by-step explainers, is automated with an AI Checker, to ensure teachers have enough time to focus on what matters.
👨🏻💻 Who is this for
- If you teach Computer Science, you can "hire" the platform to be an individual teaching assistant for each of your students, improving the experience for you and your students.
- If you'd like to learn programming, we have several Publicly available free courses that you can take.
- If you are a staff member at a university or school, you can request a demo to see how we can help your Computer Science department in the teaching process.

Would love to hear your feedback and see how you use the platform!
I have used Profound do deliver various courses and I really can't recommend it enough. Without Profound would have spend at least 2x time on designing material, checking homework, and providing feedback.
I also frequently ask my students for feedback and so far I have not heard any complains regarding Profound, so I guess I'll stick with it for my whole teaching career.
Due to you and your product it is already 3 years that our students from Aragatsotn province have the ability to learn in a much better platform.
Thanks a lot to your team, we wish you all the best🎉🎉🎉🎉
