Know which student is stuck — while the lab is still running.
Real-time AI tutoring for hands-on cybersecurity training. Your labs, your LMS, our intelligence layer.
- Watches the terminal, not just the flag
- Graduated hints, never spoilers first
- Every screen's activity, one dashboard
Illustration: a student's lab terminal shows repeated SSH connection failures and idle time. Adaptly flags the student as stuck, the AI Tutor offers a conceptual hint, and the instructor dashboard shows the flagged student in real time.
We see the terminal, not just the flag.
The problem
One instructor. Twelve terminals.
No idea who's drowning.
In a hands-on lab, the students who ask for help are rarely the ones who need it most. The struggling ones go quiet — retrying the same command, staring at the same error — and you find out after the session ends, when the window to intervene has already closed.

Too late
when "lab completed: no" finally tells you something was wrong
The same question, over and over — and those are only the students who asked.
“I directed cybersecurity training for seven years — military units first, then commercial certification programmes. Every cohort, the same blind spot: I could see who finished the lab, never who was silently stuck inside it. Adaptly is the tool I kept wishing existed.”
How it works
From silent struggle to timely help, in three steps
The agent watches the work
A lightweight desktop agent reads the signal in the work itself: commands run, errors hit, time gone idle. No screen recordings to scrub through — just live activity from every lab machine.
Stuck detection fires
Repeated failures. A long idle right after an error. Circling the same dead end. The moment a student crosses the stuck threshold, they're flagged — in real time, not in the post-lab report.
Hints escalate. You see everything.
The AI Tutor opens with a conceptual nudge and only escalates if the student stays stuck — while the instructor dashboard shows every flag, every hint, every screen's activity.
The payoff
Every lab hour works harder
Catching the stuck moment isn't just about rescuing one student. It changes the economics of the whole session.
Practice time stays on target
A student who burns 40 minutes on a broken config or a mistyped path isn't practising the skill the session was built around. Adaptly catches the detour early and steers the time back to what the lab was designed to teach.
→ more of every session spent on the intended skills
Instructors stop firefighting
The “what does this error mean?” queue is handled by graduated hints before it ever reaches a human. Instructors spend the session on judgment calls and teaching — the work that actually needs their expertise.
→ troubleshooting load shifts from instructor to platform
Scale without diluting quality
When detection and first-line help are automatic, one instructor can genuinely support a larger cohort — and each student gets faster, more consistent coverage than walking the room ever delivered.
→ bigger cohorts, better coverage per student
Integration
Plugs into the stack you already run
Adaptly doesn't replace your LMS or your lab environments — it adds the layer that's missing between them. The instructor dashboard drops into Moodle via LTI 1.3, and the agent runs alongside the tooling your students already use.
- Moodle via LTI 1.3 — the dashboard lives where your instructors already work
- Your existing labs — the agent observes; it doesn't ask you to migrate exercises
- No workflow replacement — keep your curriculum, grading, and enrolment as they are
Who it's for
Built for certification training providers
Teams running instructor-led, lab-heavy cohorts for CISSP, CEH, Security+ and similar programmes — 12 to 75 students at a time, more screens than any instructor can watch.
- You run instructor-led cohorts with hands-on labs at the core
- Cohort sizes of 12–75 — too many screens for walking the room
- You use Moodle or another LTI-compatible LMS
- You feel the gap between “lab completed” and “student actually learned”
Design partner programme
We're early. That's the offer.
Adaptly is pre-case-study and in active development. We're taking a limited number of design partners: you get the AI Tutor in your real cohorts and a direct line to the founder — your feedback shapes how stuck detection and hint behaviour work. Preferred pricing locks in before public launch.
