Lune Synth™
The anti-slop study app · Coherascent Labs

Do the work. Scan it in. Get feedback that actually helps — from the Pre-K through the PhD level.

Students solve on paper and scan their work; Lune Synth™ reads every step, finds where the reasoning broke, and shows what to practice next. Built on well-architected AI systems, it grades against explicit rubric rules — not vibes — so feedback stays grounded and trustworthy. Voice and text input work too.
