IXL is the most widely used AI adaptive learning platform for K-12 — providing personalised practice that adjusts difficulty in real time based on each student's performance across math, language arts, science, and social studies for grades PreK-12. The Adaptive Learning system uses AI to continuously assess each student's skill level and select the next question at the appropriate difficulty — moving students through progressively harder content as they demonstrate mastery, or providing additional practice on skills where they're struggling. Real-Time Diagnostics identify skill gaps and strengths across each student's learning profile — teachers and parents receive detailed reports showing exactly which skills each student has mastered and which need more practice. IXL's Skill Plan maps to Common Core, state standards, and curriculum frameworks — enabling teachers to assign practice aligned to their current instructional sequence. IXL covers 10,000+ skills across all K-12 grade levels and subjects. With 14 million students and 800,000+ teachers using IXL, it is the most widely deployed adaptive learning platform in US K-12 education. IXL also owns Rosetta Stone for language learning.
IXL AI runs as ml platform software built around text and data workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, ios, and android, with API access for teams that want to embed it into their own products.
