We suffered a family tragedy towards the end of 2025/early 2026 and it has taken us a while to find our balance again.

We apologize for the extended absence and send out our warmest thanks to all those that reached out to check on us!

During our absence, we were still hard at work helping students succeed as much as we could be and are still taking students now.

If you are a student or know any students interested in completing an AI research project – please reach out for a free consultation!

And be sure to stay tuned for some student success updates and new content from The Curio Cat – coming soon!
