WHY SOOTH
THE EVIDENCE
Students want to search the internet - so let them. Sooth delivers the best of the open web with zero distractions, noise, or risk. It's not a filter bolted onto Google or an algorithm's best guess. Sooth is a human-curated index, built from the bottom up. P.S. - Google's new AI Search just got rated an "unacceptable risk" for students. We didn't say that, Common Sense Media did.
THE EVIDENCE
No AI answers means no shortcuts. Students read, synthesize, and think for themselves - and the research backs this up (PNAS Nexus). Real learning, not the illusion.
SEARCH, REINVENTED
Curated search surfaces more high-quality, diverse content, not just whatever ranks highest. Nothing buried under SEO, ads, or sketchy sources. Ever.
Sleek doesn't mean superficial. Sooth's layout intuitively guides students through different source types instead of dumping a wall of links on them.
The only platform with NewsGuard Reliability Ratings - full scorecards included - and AllSides Media Bias Ratings beside search results. Students don't just find information, they learn how to evaluate it.
MORE FIREPOWER
EBSCO and ProQuest now integrate directly into Sooth. One platform, all your content, zero extra logins. More integrations on the way.
The Washington Post, Business Insider, MIT Technology Review, Foreign Policy, The Nation, The Washington Times, Christian Science Monitor, and others. Free for your students while we all help fund the journalism behind it.
Bookmarking, citations, Works Cited, teacher feedback, collaboration - all one click away. Export straight to NoodleTools. Less busywork, more thinking.
No other tool lets students investigate misinformation like this. Who's spreading dubious claims? What's the fringe actually saying? Now students can explore in an environment designed for learning.
Google Scholar doesn't even do this. One filter surfaces only peer-reviewed publishers along with fully open-access repositories. No more guessing or sifting.
Pulse is students' personal news aggregator, built directly into Sooth, pulling from the broadest source list of any news app out there. Staying informed just got easier.
