Learn AI by building with it.

learn.diya.au turns live-classroom AI training into interactive courses — idea cards, hands-on labs with copy-ready prompts, mastery quizzes, and projects that end with something your learners shipped. Built by Design Industries on an Australian-sovereign platform: learner data stays onshore, the AI tutor is grounded in approved content, and educators see provenance — not guesswork.

Early access now open — first cohorts run late 2026 to early 2027. No video playlists, no seat-warming.

  • All data in Australia — Sydney + Melbourne
  • Append-only AI interaction log
  • WCAG 2.2 AA from the first component

Decorative terminal animation showing a learner's session: signing in, opening a course session, asking the grounded AI tutor a question answered from course content on Australian-resident infrastructure, completing a lab step for XP, passing the mastery quiz to unlock the next session, and shipping a live app.

Try it right here

This is what learning here feels like.

Five real components from Ship Your First AI App, Session 2 — "Give Your App a Brain" — live on this page. Click around; the XP is real enough.

Idea card

Looks are only half your app

Two study apps can look identical — same buttons, same purple gradient — and one feels like a patient teacher while the other rambles like a random chatbot. The difference is never the interface; it's the brain.

Flashcard
Mastery quiz

Your maths-explainer app cheerfully answers a cricket question. The most likely cause?

💡 Drift comes from missing constraints, not a broken model. The misconception here is "the AI knows what my app is for" — it only knows what you wrote, and whatever you leave unspecified it fills with a confident guess.

Lab step · exactly as it appears in the course

Write the guardrails: your on-topic rule with a scripted refusal in quotes, the compulsory privacy line, and — for any feelings-adjacent app — the trusted-adult line.

Only talk about exam stress and study habits. If asked anything else, say: "I'm just your exam-stress buddy — let's get back to how prep is going!" Never ask for names, school or phone numbers. If something sounds serious, gently suggest talking to a trusted adult.

👀 Look for: The refusal is in quotation marks — exact words you can test for, not a vague intention like 'be appropriate'.

Every word above is verbatim course content (typographic quote styling aside), with one localisation: the session file's "Class 10" reads "Year 10" for Australian cohorts — the same localisation pass every course gets during partner onboarding.

How it works

Every session earns its tick.

The learning model comes from live classrooms, not lecture capture: learners do the work, prove they understood it, and only then move forward.

  1. Bring a cohort, pick your courses

    Learners sign in and go — nothing to install. Progress, XP, and streaks follow them across devices, and educators see the whole cohort at a glance.

  2. Work through each session

    Idea cards build the concept, hands-on labs with copy-ready prompts make it real, autosaving worksheets capture the thinking, and a mastery quiz checks it stuck — pass at 80%.

  3. Finish completely, unlock the next

    Progression is mastery-gated and enforced server-side — no skimming ahead, no hollow completions. What a dashboard says a learner finished, they actually did.

An AI tutor on every page — governed like it matters

The tutor answers from your approved course content and cites where answers come from — "from your course, Session 4" — labels general knowledge as exactly that, and declines to produce submittable assessment work. Every interaction is recorded in an append-only log educators can actually act on.

Illustration: a friendly speech bubble giving a polite stop gesture, surrounded by four crossed-out requests.
Data residency

Sovereign by construction, not by promise.

Whether you're a school answering to parents, a university answering to council, or an IT company answering to clients — your learners' data never leaves Australia. Inference runs exclusively on Amazon Bedrock's Australia-geo-fenced Claude endpoints — verified with live inference calls in our own AWS account in July 2026 — and is never routed through Asia-Pacific cross-region paths.

Verified · July 2026

Geo-fenced AI inference

AI tutoring runs on Anthropic's Claude models via Amazon Bedrock's Australian regional endpoints, geo-fenced to Sydney and Melbourne only. We verified this with live inference calls from our own AWS Sydney account — before writing this page.

Contractual

Never used to train AI

Your content and your learners' data are never used to train AI models — a contractual Amazon Bedrock commitment we can cite in procurement, not a marketing promise.

Onshore DR

Disaster recovery stays home

Backups replicate from Sydney to Melbourne — never offshore. Residency holds in failure modes, not just on the happy path.

Academic integrity

Provenance educators can act on.

Integrity conversations should move from suspicion to evidence. Every AI interaction on the platform lands in an append-only record: who asked what, when, which model and version answered, and what the learner then submitted.

Grounded in your curriculum

The AI tutor answers from approved course content and cites where answers come from — labelling general knowledge as exactly that.

Refuses to do the assignment

The tutor declines to produce submittable assessment work. Refusal behaviour is a release gate, not an assumption: every build must pass a scored evaluation suite — integrity scenarios and grounding checks included — before it reaches learners.

Append-only interaction log

Exact model and version, prompt, response, and timestamps for every AI interaction. Educators get visibility surfaces over AI assistance, giving integrity reviews evidence rather than hunches.

Server-computed results

Grades, quiz results, and progress are computed server-side. Answer keys never reach the learner's browser — integrity is an architectural property, not a policy document.

For procurement & security

Governed AI your CISO can interrogate.

Whoever signs off on your tools — a school board, a university procurement panel, or an enterprise security team — every line below is an architectural commitment you can test, not a brochure adjective.

  • Versioned model registry

    Every model and version in use is registered, per-tenant pinnable, and subject to mandatory change notices before anything changes under your learners.

  • Transparent, metered AI pricing

    AI usage is metered and passed through at cost — including the ~10% premium Australian-resident endpoints carry. That premium is visible because it is the residency guarantee, never hidden inside a flat licence.

  • AI safety guardrails as architecture

    Safety guardrails, per-tenant quotas, and human-in-the-loop review queues are core platform architecture — operated by a team already running production guardrails in AWS Sydney today.

  • Disclosed support access — never silent

    Where offshore support access exists it is declared, just-in-time, role-scoped, and fully session-logged. You will never discover an access path we didn't disclose.

  • Accessibility as a build requirement

    WCAG 2.2 AA from the first component — semantic markup, keyboard paths, and contrast-checked design tokens enforced as a build-pipeline requirement, not retrofitted.

  • Assurance roadmap, stated honestly

    We are pursuing ISO 27001 certification (targeted 2028) and planning IRAP assessment (2029). We publish targets, not premature claims — and invite you to hold us to them.

Where we are

A build you can follow.

The platform is pre-release, and we say so. Here is the milestone path — early-access partners get evidence at every step.

  1. 2026Now Foundations & early access

    AU-geo-fenced Claude inference and production AI guardrails verified live in our own AWS Sydney account; sovereign AI runtime build under way; curriculum library in structured, compiler-ready form; early-access conversations open.

  2. Late 2026 — early 2027 First cohorts

    Real learners on the corpus-grounded AI tutor — across schools, colleges, training providers, and enterprise teams — with educator dashboards and the full interaction log in service.

  3. March 2027 Evidence review

    Engagement, educator sign-off, unit AI cost per learner-hour, and a sovereignty audit of the complete AI interaction log — published to early-access partners.

  4. Through 2027 Enterprise foundations

    Microsoft Entra ID SSO and SCIM provisioning, LTI 1.3 with an end-to-end Canvas demonstration, staff authoring workflow, and an external WCAG 2.2 AA audit.

  5. May 2028 Targeted general availability

    Multi-tenant platform with published scale and disaster-recovery evidence.

  6. 2028 — 2029 Assurance milestones

    ISO 27001 certification targeted for 2028; IRAP assessment planned for 2029.

Early access · 2026–27

Bring it to your cohort.

We are onboarding a small number of early-access partners — schools, colleges and universities, training and coaching providers, and enterprise learning teams — for cohorts starting late 2026 to early 2027. Partners shape the educator experience, receive the full evidence pack at the March 2027 review, and get first access as the platform matures. Not sure where to start? Tell us who you teach, and a human will recommend a course.

Questions

Asked and answered.

The six questions every partner asks first.

Who is learn.diya.au for?

Cohorts, not lone browsers: senior schools (Years 9–12), colleges and universities, training and coaching providers, and IT companies or enterprise teams building AI capability. The catalogue filter above shows which of the eight courses fits each audience — most need no coding at all.

Do learners need to know how to code?

No — for most of the catalogue. Ship Your First AI App assumes zero coding, design, or AI experience, and AI & Your Career and AI Foundations assume no coding background at all. The AI Developer Residency is the deliberate exception: a 90-day deep dive for developers and technical teams.

How does session unlocking work?

Progression is mastery-gated and enforced on the server: a session unlocks only when the previous one is fully complete — every idea card, every lab step, and a quiz score of at least 80%. No skimming ahead, and no way to fake a completion from the browser: grading is server-computed and answer keys never reach the client.

Where does our data live?

In Australia, full stop. Learner data, logs, and backups live in Sydney with disaster recovery in Melbourne, and AI inference runs only on Australia-geo-fenced endpoints in Sydney and Melbourne. AI tutoring runs on Anthropic's Claude via Amazon Bedrock — verified with live inference calls in our own AWS account — and your content and learners' data are never used to train AI models, a contractual Amazon Bedrock commitment.

Can we run our own curriculum on the platform?

The platform launches with the eight-course library, all built through a structured authoring pipeline — the same pipeline that will power a staff-facing authoring workflow on the 2027 roadmap. Early-access partners help shape that workflow, and course localisation for your context is part of onboarding today.

What does it cost, and when can we start?

Early-access partnerships are scoped per cohort — this is a conversation, not a checkout. One pricing principle is fixed from day one: AI usage is metered and passed through at cost, including the ~10% premium Australian-resident endpoints carry — never hidden inside a flat licence. First cohorts run late 2026 to early 2027; register interest above and a human replies.
