paddy is an AI platform that automates lesson planning, content creation, and class-performance analysis to reduce teachers' administrative workload. The product generates differentiated materials, suggests tasks and methods, and identifies students who need extra support. Founded in 2024 as DigitalErleben GmbH and launched in January 2025, the startup was created by three founders who grew up in teaching households. The platform reached 12,000 teacher users and 100 school customers within six months of launch. Management says lesson preparation is the most-used feature and plans to improve in-class teaching capabilities next. The company is hiring aggressively and expects to reach 500 school customers next year and mid-six-figure revenue by year-end.
