Eliott
Eliott is a French AI tutor built on the national curriculum, covering the first year of secondary school to postgraduate level. Co-designed with more than 40 classroom teachers, it guides students step by step without ever giving the answer.
What is Eliott?
Eliott is a French AI tutor published by CULTUREME, a Paris company incorporated on 31 August 2023, and positioned as an educational AI you can trust. It covers the French national curriculum from the first year of secondary school (sixième, around age 11) up to five years of higher education, and its narrowness is the point: every topic is aligned with the official syllabuses of the French Ministry of Education, and the product was co-designed with more than 40 classroom teachers.
Subject coverage follows the French system closely. At lower-secondary level it handles maths, French, history and geography, English, physics and chemistry, life sciences, technology and civics. At upper secondary it covers the general-stream specialisms, philosophy, economics and social sciences, geopolitics, maths, computer science, languages and sciences, as well as the technological streams (STMG, STI2D, ST2S, STL, STD2A), the vocational streams (CAP, bac pro, co-teaching and the chef-d'œuvre project) and the agricultural stream, with biology and ecology, agronomy and animal science.
Four audiences each get their own product page: school students, higher education students, parents and schools. Students chat with the tutor by text or by voice within a chosen subject, photograph an exercise to be guided through it, generate revision sheets, flashcards and quizzes from a chapter, and work through corrected past papers for the brevet, France's national lower-secondary exam, and the baccalauréat. Higher education students upload their own PDFs, slides and photos of notes so the workspace is built on their actual courses. Parents get a separate space with session summaries, a subject-by-subject history and qualitative feedback. Schools deploy Eliott through Pronote or École Directe, with no extra logins to create.
The stated pedagogical rule is what separates it from a general chatbot, and the site argues the point in a section devoted to why Eliott is not another ChatGPT: it breaks the problem down, asks questions and makes the student think, but never does the work in their place. The site claims more than 300,000 students, students in higher education and parents, over 25 partner schools and 40 associated teachers. Eliott runs as a web app and as iOS and Android apps, published from September 2024, on a single synchronised account.

When to use Eliott / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if Eliott is the right fit.
When to use Eliott
- Lower-secondary students (collège, roughly ages 11 to 15) revising a subject from the French national curriculum
- Teenagers preparing the brevet or the baccalauréat, in the general, technological, vocational or agricultural streams
- Higher education students (preparatory classes, BTS, bachelor's degrees, business and engineering schools) who want to upload their own handouts and lecture slides
- Parents who want to follow their child's activity and progress without standing over their shoulder
- Head teachers and secondary school staff rolling out a supervised AI through Pronote or École Directe
When not to use Eliott
- Primary school pupils: coverage only starts at the first year of secondary school (sixième, around age 11)
- Learners following a non-French curriculum, since every topic is aligned with the official French Ministry of Education syllabuses
- Non-French speakers: the interface and all content are in French only, and the iOS app is published in French
- Students who want an AI to produce the finished homework, which Eliott deliberately refuses to do
- Developers looking for an API, and companies looking for professional training: there is no public API and the product is strictly academic
How to use Eliott
A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.
- Create an account on the web app or download the app from the App Store or Google Play; in a partner school, students instead open Eliott in one click from Pronote or École Directe
- Sign up with an email address, or sign in with a Google or Apple account
- Enter the student's first name, age, stream and school year so the tutoring is pitched at the right level
- Have a parent or legal guardian take out the subscription: only an adult with legal capacity can subscribe
- The 7-day trial then starts; a payment method is registered up front and nothing is charged before the trial ends
- Select a subject, then ask questions by typing or by voice recognition
- Photograph an exercise to be guided through it step by step rather than given the answer
- Higher education students: upload PDFs, slides or photos of notes so the workspace is built on their own courses
- Generate revision sheets, flashcards and summaries from the chapter being studied, then practise with quizzes, mock tests and corrected brevet or baccalauréat past papers
- Parents open their dedicated space for session summaries, subject-by-subject history and topics to consolidate; the subscription can be cancelled at any time from the account's subscription management page
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Genuinely specialised: content aligned with the official French syllabuses and co-designed with more than 40 classroom teachers
- Deliberately refuses to hand over the answer, so it is built for independence rather than for cheating
- Documented trust framework: EU hosting in Germany and Sweden, detailed GDPR commitments, no advertising and no resale of personal data
- Contractual commitment that student content is never used to train the models
- Adults keep oversight: a dedicated parent space, and a usage dashboard for schools
- Deploys through Pronote and École Directe with no logins to create, distribute or reset
- Low entry price against private tutoring, with one account working across web, iOS and Android
Cons
- No free version at all: once the 7-day trial ends, a paid subscription is required
- Three price lists coexist on the site; the terms of service quote EUR 89.99 and EUR 149.99 per year where the commercial pages quote EUR 69.99 and EUR 119.99
- French only, in interface and in content; the iOS app is published in French
- Tied to the French school system, and of little use to anyone outside it
- No public API and no developer documentation

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Eliott handles your data.
GDPR overview
GDPR compliance is claimed explicitly across the site and backed by concrete detail. The controller is named: CULTUREME, SIRET 978 956 332 00016, 1 rue Marguerin, 75014 Paris. GDPR requests go to lancelot@eliott.app; no DPO is named. Legal bases are set out purpose by purpose: performance of the contract, legitimate interest, and consent for marketing. The record of processing activities is available on request. Breaches are notified to the CNIL within 72 hours under Article 33, and the CNIL (3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07) is named as supervisory authority. Minors are covered by Article 8 GDPR and Article 45 of the French Data Protection Act. Account, conversation and file data stay inside the EEA. Article 32 measures include TLS 1.2+, AES-256, pseudonymisation before the AI engine, Zero Trust and MFA.
Who owns the data?
CULTUREME is the data controller under Article 4(7) GDPR, including when the subscription is bought by a school. Intellectual property in the application, its systems, databases, code and content belongs to CULTUREME; the user only receives a simple, personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence, which ends when the last subscription expires. Personal data is never sold, rented or exchanged with third parties without explicit prior consent. Internal access is restricted to authorised staff in management, teaching, support and engineering. Outside recipients are four named subprocessors, plus authorities, accountants or lawyers where the law requires it. Bank details are handled by Apple and Google and are never accessible to CULTUREME.
Reuse rights
End users may not reuse the product or its content. The terms forbid reproducing, modifying, distributing or exploiting the application in any way, and explicitly prohibit copying the source code, making copies, decompiling, translating, adapting, creating derivative works, reselling or renting it, and unlawful data extraction. What the user keeps are their GDPR rights over their own personal data: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection and post-mortem directives. Portability is limited to automated processing based on consent or on performance of the contract. A minor can obtain deletion of content they posted themselves under Article 17 I of the French Data Protection Act, handled within 30 days. Exercising these rights is free, by email to admin@eliott.app or by post, with a reply within one month.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
Application data is hosted in the European Union. The database and uploaded files sit on Supabase running on AWS eu-central-1 in Frankfurt, Germany, and the full learning history stays there for as long as the account is active. Educational answers are generated by Azure OpenAI in the Sweden Central region, contracted through Microsoft Ireland and inside the EU Data Boundary. The privacy policy states that no copy or backup is sent outside the EEA, with standard contractual clauses described only as a fallback for critical support. Data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2 or above in transit, and direct identifiers are replaced by a random identifier before anything reaches the AI engine. The data centres are certified to DIN ISO/IEC 27001, which certifies the centres and not the publisher. In-app payments go through Apple Distribution International and Google Commerce, both in Ireland, as independent controllers that may transfer data outside the EU under Article 46. Two things are separate from all of this: the marketing site is hosted by Webflow Inc. in San Francisco, and the domain resolves to a Cloudflare anycast CDN node.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Eliott.
- Three contradictory price lists coexist on the site: the commercial pages quote EUR 12.99 and EUR 69.99 for the individual plan and EUR 19.99 and EUR 119.99 for the family plan, the terms of service dated 04/08/2026 quote EUR 89.99 and EUR 149.99 per year, and an invalid structured-data block on the homepage still advertises a free plan at EUR 0 and an annual rate of EUR 7.50 per month. Check what is actually charged, since the terms of service are what binds contractually.
- There is no free version despite what that structured-data block suggests: after the 7-day trial a paid subscription is required, a payment method is registered up front, renewal is tacit, and cancellation brings no refund of what has already been paid.
- The tool is designed for minors but publishes no minimum age. Under-15s are admitted with parental authorisation, so an adult has to sign up, pay and supervise; a child cannot subscribe alone.
- CULTUREME declares itself data controller even when a school takes out the subscription. The school therefore signs no processor agreement, no DPA is offered, and the school carries the burden of collecting parental authorisations.
- Dependence and effort substitution: an assistant available around the clock can quietly take over the struggle that produces learning, however firmly the product states that it never does the work in the student's place. The stated goal is independence, which is worth checking against actual use.
- Legal pages published in draft form: two internal drafting notes were left online, one of them replacing the late-payment clause of the professional terms with a paragraph on referrals. The same documents impose an obligation of means rather than of result, cap liability at the last six months paid, forbid disparaging the product on social media, and impose a two-year non-compete on institutional customers.
- Claims that do not reproduce: 4.9/5 from more than 5,000 reviews is displayed throughout, while the French App Store measured 4.67 from 3,527 ratings on 02/09/2026 and the site's own structured data declares two different review counts. Marketing tiles also advertise AI models in France and Sweden, whereas no legal page names France, only Germany and Sweden.
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Very easy, with nothing to install or configure. Use the web app, or download the iOS or Android app from the stores (iOS 15.0 or later). Sign up with an email address or through a Google or Apple account, then enter age, stream and school year: the tutoring is pre-configured from there, with nothing else to set up. Higher education students have one extra step, uploading their own course documents. For schools, deployment runs through Pronote or École Directe, with no additional logins to create, distribute or reset.

Should you pick Eliott?
Eliott is a more mature product than its publisher's age would suggest. CULTUREME was incorporated in August 2023; the iOS app has been out since September 2024, four distinct audiences each have their own product line, and schools can deploy it through Pronote or École Directe.
Its differentiator is real and verifiable rather than rhetorical: content built on the official French syllabuses with more than 40 classroom teachers, and a tutor designed to refuse to hand over the answer. For a parent worried that a general chatbot simply does the homework, that is the whole argument. The trust framework is documented rather than asserted, with named subprocessors, EU-only hosting in Germany and Sweden, a contractual commitment not to train models on student content, and no advertising.
The reservations deserve weighing. There is no free version at all: after seven days it is a subscription. The prices contradict each other across the site, and the terms of service, which are what binds contractually, quote higher annual figures than the commercial pages. Two internal drafting notes are still visible on published legal pages, which suggests the contractual text shipped as a draft. And the review figures displayed on the site cannot be reproduced from the App Store.
The geographic scope is a matter of fact rather than of policy: this is a tool for the French education system, in French, and it will do nothing for anyone outside it. Worth remembering, finally, that the buyer and the user are different people. The parent or the school pays, the student uses it, and both should be looking at the same screen: the parent space and the school dashboard exist so that an adult keeps oversight, and with a tool aimed at minors that oversight is the point.
