TimeBack Platform

The education platform you can read.

Students, teachers, parents — and the AI agents they bring — build real apps and reports against one platform, by reading plain-language docs and calling one API. Two front doors, one database.

Start here

Alpha surface

For teachers, students, parents & their AI agents.

Plain-language modules and a skill pack. Point your LLM at the docs and build.
For integrators

1EdTech surface

For district integrators & compliance reviewers.

A faithful, simple implementation of the 1EdTech specs — the same database, in standards language.

Alpha surface

Seven of Platform3's fourteen shipped product modules, named the way a teacher or parent would say them.

People & Orgs

The roster

Who everyone is and where they belong — students, parents, guides, staff; schools, districts, levels; and the memberships that connect them over time.

Curriculum

The map

What there is to learn — the knowledge graph of skills and how they relate, plus the academic standards it references. The same map for every student.

Content

The stuff students touch

Articles, videos, audio, images, interactives, questions, and tests — each tagged to what it teaches. Everything a student actually interacts with, and nothing else.

Player

The renderer

The first-party reference player resolves Curriculum renderer refs, fetches Content and QTI launch material, writes Events, and shows Results readback.

Events

The moments

The activity stream — a student launches an app, asks for a hint, submits an answer, sits a test. A record that something happened.

Results

The record

How each student is doing — outcomes, test scores (including MAP), the working grade, the report card, and each student's mastery as it grows and decays.

Analytics

The report layer

Derived report facts — minutes, XP rollups, streaks, accuracy, completion, school-day calculations, grade-level status, and RIT/grade reads.

Applications

The callers

Which third-party application is calling Alpha — its publisher, lifecycle, tenant grants, scopes, clients, sandbox boundary, and request attribution.

The Platform3 Skill Pack

One install · build anything

Drop the global skill pack and your credentials into Claude, Codex, or Perplexity. It routes the agent to the right Platform3 surface and module pack — no copied tables, no hidden growth math, no private data wrangling.

Build with the Alpha surface

Install the global skill pack + your platform credentials into your AI agent, point it at the docs above, and ask it to build — a quiz app, a leaderboard, a learning report. If it needs to compute something the platform should have done, that's a gap we fix on the platform, not in your app.

Producer surfaces

Incept is a governed upstream producer surface, not a fifteenth product module or a third consumer API surface.

Incept

Generation-loop provenance and progress enter through Platform's governed producer contract; generated student-facing artifacts materialize through Content and QTI.
