Building the study tool SA students deserve.
MaxIQ was born from a simple frustration: South African students deserve the same quality of learning tools as students anywhere else in the world. We're here to fix that, as a product of Krylix (Pty) Ltd.
Make learning addictive, not painful.
South Africa has some of the hardest-working students in the world. But too many are studying with outdated textbooks, no personalised feedback, and zero motivation. MaxIQ changes that by putting AI-powered, CAPS-aligned learning into every student's pocket, complete with gamification, bilingual support, and offline mode for when the lights go out.
We believe that if studying feels like a game, students will want to study. If the curriculum is already loaded, they won't waste time searching. And if learning adapts to their pace, every student can reach their potential, regardless of their background or resources.

Two hosts. One mission.
Max and Sage aren't just chatbots. They're personalities. Each brings a different teaching style so every student finds the approach that works for them.
Max
Max brings the energy. He breaks down tough concepts with SA slang, memes, and the kind of enthusiasm that makes you actually want to pay attention. Think of him as your mate who somehow aces every test and explains it like you're chatting at break time. He's loud, he's fun, and he won't let you quit.
"Eish, that integral? Easy. Watch this, boet."
Sage
Sage is the friend who actually reads the textbook, and makes you understand it. She walks you through logic step-by-step, builds from first principles, and makes sure nothing gets skipped. She's structured, patient, and the one you want beside you the night before finals.
"Let's slow down and build this from first principles."
Built different, on purpose.
SA-first, always
Everything from CAPS alignment to Paystack checkout to load-shedding offline mode, built for South African students from day one, not as an afterthought.
Learning should be fun
XP, streaks, leaderboards, badges. We took the psychology behind why games are addictive and applied it to studying. The result? Students actually want to learn.
Affordable for everyone
Free to start at R0. Our paid tiers cost less than a single extra lesson per month. Quality education shouldn't be a luxury. It should be a right.
Works without WiFi
Load-shedding? No data? No problem. MaxIQ downloads your notes, flashcards and podcasts so you can keep studying no matter what.
Fully bilingual
Learn in English, Afrikaans, or switch between both. Max and Sage speak both languages fluently, so you learn in the language you think in.
AI that adapts to you
MaxIQ learns your strengths and weaknesses, then adjusts quizzes and study plans in real time. It gets smarter the more you use it.
