Academic diligence, for over a decade
alpha academica AI* combines years of teaching and supervision experience with state-of-the-art, AI-supported text analysis. What began in 2014 as exam preparation in Aachen is today a specialised service for academic proofreading, translation and mentoring.
From the seminar room to an AI-supported academy
In June 2014, alpha academica was founded in Aachen – initially as a provider of exam preparation and tutoring for pupils and students. The first tutoring sessions and exam-preparation seminars took place at our premises on Martinstraße.
From these beginnings grew an academic and career-oriented network of up to 20 staff over the years – students, part- and full-time staff as well as freelance lecturers. To date, more than 2,000 students have been successfully supported, in one-to-one tutoring as well as exam-preparation seminars at FH and RWTH Aachen.
With alpha academica AI* we are taking the next step: the same uncompromising academic standards, now amplified by AI-supported analysis – for proofreading, copy-editing, translation and mentoring at a new level of speed and precision.
People and technology
Behind every project stand academic expertise and an AI system that amplifies that expertise – it does not replace it.
