Our story
We believe learning should be personal. Purposeful. And accessible to all. We’re building a future where every student can unlock their full potential — with the right tools, support, and guidance by their side. We’re here to challenge outdated norms in education and shape the new standard. This is our mission. This is our manifesto...
We’re a lean, curious team of ten people. A mix of builders, educators, dreamers, and doers — united by a shared fascination: how people learn.
We love exploring new ways to teach, simplify complex ideas, and empower students. Our backgrounds may be diverse, but what ties us together is a deep interest in education and an obsession with learning more efficiently. We don’t just build tools. We build possibilities.
The Conflict
We started Astra AI because the world was changing — but education wasn’t.
Andrej was fascinated by how the internet could transmit knowledge across the globe. Klemen, on the other hand, nearly slipped through the cracks of a rigid school system that didn’t accommodate different ways of learning. Both knew something had to change.
The journey began in 2013 under the name Astra.si. What started as a bold idea has now evolved into Astra AI, launched in 2024 — built for the next generation of learners.
The Resolution
Modern education was built for a world that no longer exists. It was designed for the industrial age — structured, standardized, and one-size-fits-all. But society evolved. Work changed. The way we create and contribute changed.
Education must evolve too.
The science is clear: personalized tutoring is one of the most effective ways to learn. But it hasn’t been accessible to most — until now.
With AI, we’re making this possible. Astra AI is already helping over 150,000 students across 5+ countries learn faster, better, and with more confidence.

The Sequel
We imagine a world where every student has a personal tutor in their pocket — available anytime, anywhere.
But we’re not here to replace teachers.
We see educators as a crucial part of this transformation. We want to support them, empower them, and work alongside them as education enters a new chapter.
The Dialogue
We believe real change happens when we bring all three pillars of education together: students, teachers, and parents. That’s our mission — to serve them all.
We also know that AI can only be impactful if we first understand it. That’s why we aim to educate, demystify, and encourage safe experimentation with AI in the classroom and beyond.
Only then can we shape the future of learning — together.
