MiloAI wins BETT Asia Award for AI Product of the Year

We’re proud to share that MiloAI has been named AI Product of the Year at BETT Asia 2025.

This recognition celebrates the meaningful, student-centred approach we’ve taken to integrating AI in education. That’s why we’re launching a new blog series to support teachers exploring AI in their classrooms. 

In this series, we’ll share practical tips, classroom-ready ideas, and best practice insights to help educators make the most of tools like Milo. Whether they’re just getting started or looking to deepen their use of AI to support student learning and streamline their day-to-day workflows, this series is for you.

Reimagining tutoring, at scale

More than 40 years ago, educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom posed what’s now known as the 2-sigma problem: students who receive one-on-one tutoring perform two standard deviations better than their peers in a traditional classroom setting.

It’s a striking finding, and one that highlights a challenge most schools still face. One-on-one tutoring works, but it’s not traditionally been scalable for every student.

MiloAI is now closing this gap. We set out to build not just another AI chatbot, but a pedagogically grounded learning companion, one that gives every student the chance to feel seen, supported, and capable. We know that the success of tools like Milo, will ultimately be down to the educators who use them effectively.

That’s why we’re creating this series, to help teachers in their own journey of leveraging these tools, and to ensure that every student in their classroom can receive a truly personalised learning experience.

What’s coming:

• How AI Can Make Every Maths Classroom More Inclusive
• Staying Safe with AI in the Classroom: Data Privacy and Trustworthy Answers
• Differentiation Made Easy: Using AI for Personalised Learning in Maths
• How AI Can Give Teachers Time Back
• AI or No AI? Teaching Critical Thinking in the Age of LLMs

Designed for inclusion and impact

We know our tools work best when they’re directly in student’s learning. Milo is embedded within the Mathspace platform and has been purpose-built for mathematics to ensure:

• Milo gives personalised, step-by-step guidance for every attempt
• Students can engage on their own terms, without fear of getting something ‘wrong’
• Teachers stay in control, with full visibility into student progress and AI interactions

Milo supports students by offering responsive, step-by-step guidance at the moment a student needs it. It doesn't just give answers. It reads what students have written, identifies misconceptions, and offers timely scaffolds, questions and encouragement to guide them forward.

In short: it acts like a tutor would, but in a way that’s scalable, transparent, and built for the classroom.

In 2024–25 alone, Milo supported over 328,000 students through more than 7.3 million interactions. Students who completed 100+ problems with Milo achieved an average of 0.85 grade levels of growth in under a year.

And the feedback speaks for itself:

• 3.75/5 average student rating
• Two-thirds of teachers are NPS promoters
• “MiloAI doesn’t just give answers. It leads students to a deeper understanding – just like a teacher would.”

This award is a reflection of what we believe: AI can and should make learning more equitable.

Built for teachers, not to replace them

We believe great technology enhances the human heart of teaching, it doesn’t replace it. Milo gives teachers more visibility, more support, and more ways to help every learner grow.

It’s not just about personalising learning. It’s about making that personalisation safe, equitable, and effective at scale.

What’s next

Winning this award is a huge moment for us, but it’s also a reminder of the responsibility we carry.

We’re committed to developing AI that is secure, inclusive, and truly useful to teachers and students. That means:

• Designing for transparency and explainability
• Protecting student data and privacy
• Listening carefully to the needs of schools

Thanks to the BETT Asia judges and community for this recognition. And most of all, thank you to the educators who continue to inspire us to build AI that makes a real difference.
