Our Story
How an ex-Silicon Valley entrepreneur and his Aunty stopped students from handing in AI work as their own.
Hi, I’m Andrew 👋👋,
An entrepreneur who has had the privilege of building many companies, with the most successful being worth hundreds of millions of dollars. My journey has always been driven by a passion for innovation and making a real impact through technology. But today, I want to share Inktrail's story with you — and something that has become a mission close to my heart.
You see, my aunt is a professor.
Me and my aunt
She’s spent years dedicating herself to her students, striving to instil in them a love for learning as she helped instil in me.
Over the years she's won many teaching excellence awards. But recently, she kept reaching out to me with a problem that was breaking her spirit. “Andrew,” she would say, “I need your help. So many of my students are using AI to do their work, and I can’t do anything about it.”
At first, I didn’t take it too seriously. I’m a new parent, so I’m busy — too busy, I thought, to dive into a problem that I didn't really think was a big deal.
But she didn’t give up. Her persistence, her frustration, and, most of all, her unwavering dedication to her students made me take notice and dig a little deeper. And what I found was heart-breaking, this wasn’t just a problem in her classroom. There is an ongoing AI plagiarism crisis affecting teachers and students everywhere.
I couldn’t ignore it any longer – like her, I felt compelled to help. I needed to support teachers, just as they had always supported me.
So, I put my experience and resources to work and developed something I believe can make a real difference. I created Inktrail, software that addresses plagiarism in real-time, whether it’s generated by AI or copied in the traditional sense.
It’s designed for educators like you — those who care deeply about their students’ learning and integrity.
Inktrail is simple, effective, and can be setup in under three minutes. I wanted to make sure that it’s something you can start using right away without any hassle, so you can get back to what you do best — teaching.
It’s also not about catching cheaters; it’s about ensuring that your students truly learn and grow. My aunt's philosophy of proactively changing student behaviour instead of “catching” them is woven throughout the product.
I’m offering Inktrail with a 90 day love-it-or-leave-it guarantee because I’m confident it will make a difference in your classroom, just as it has in my aunt’s and many others.
I hope you’ll give it a try. Together, we can make sure the next generation doesn’t miss out on the education they deserve.
Thank you for all that you do.
Warm regards,
