Use case 14 NextGreenfield · Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB
A local tutor that remembers each learner's progress, mistakes and goals across months, for schools that cannot send pupil data to the cloud.
Prismatic Agents makes Prismatic. Its row is first, highlighted and labelled, so you can compare every solution against it; the others follow alphabetically and are ranked by nobody. Every value carries an evidence label; "Where Prismatic leads" is our view as its maker.
AI tutoring is cheap and everywhere: Khanmigo for a few dollars a month, Gemini for Education free to schools, Duolingo's AI roles, Miko robots for young children. They are cloud services; a child's learning record and conversations sit with the provider, and one AI toy maker was criticised for exposing children's replies.
Machines and chips in use: Phones, tablets, laptops; a few robots (Miko) with conversation mostly in the cloud.
Greenfield for Prismatic. No product here keeps a private, lasting local mind inside the machine: Prismatic on the Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB is designed for this gap.

Sector price: US$3 per learner a month, unlimited. Proposed list prices in US dollars; change the numbers and everything updates.
What this sector pays today: AI tutor US$4 a month (Khanmigo); a human tutor about US$45 an hour (Published, source). That is often a whole product; Prismatic adds the lasting local memory beside it. Hardware is bought by you from Apple or NVIDIA. Electricity at 14.2¢/kWh around the clock. Prices are proposals until the first customer agrees them. How Prismatic is licensed
Weekly human tutoring against a device bought once.
How it works: tutoring = hours × rate × weeks; Prismatic first year = module + activation + licence × 12. A companion supports learning; it does not replace a good teacher.
One card per solution. Strengths first; gaps are about this job, not about the product being bad.

Genesis Blueprint · Quest blueprint (QRD)
A tutor that remembers each learner for months, their progress, mistakes and goals, with pupil data kept local. A learner's year toward a hard exam is a journey with milestones and companions, so a Quest Requirements Document fits.
In a Prismatic studio this blueprint waits in the Marketplace, ready to be born: Genesis gives each role an original name, look, voice and character, and nothing starts until the founder presses Generate. Founders can also write their own blueprint step by step in the Blueprint Builder.

For patient investors
Retrofit sites pay first on a 64 GB Mac mini (M5 Pro) beside machines that already work. Greenfield machines carry the same mind inside, on the Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB, licensed per machine. The horizon (blackouts, wilderness, space) is where a mind that needs no cloud is not a feature but the point.
