Nurturing the conscientious you…
Our Approach
ParfaitTu as a platform, strategically exposes adolescents to the material that will inspire them to strive to inculcate the virtues and values that, once instilled and practiced, have proven time and time again, to not only be fruitful to those who have mastered them, but also, to those who live in proximity to the ones who have mastered them.
You are what you eat!
Our Assessment
Most people fall short of their potential simply because their cognitive milieu is not conducive to them being driven, kind, loving, resilient, selfless, happy, and peacefully goal-oriented. Social media and OTT platform algorithms have served to exacerbate the old-as-time issue of confirmation biases, inability to think critically, and the inability to process shades of grey.
Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he
is young nor weary in the search of it when
he has grown old. For no age is too early or
too late for the health of the soul.
Feeding your good wolf!
Our Purpose
ParfaitTu, along with Bishop AI, makes the ethics, values, morals, and decision-making systems developed by some of the greatest minds throughout human history more accessible to adolescents than ever before.
Purposeful
driven
resilient
Strategic
Loving
Selfless
How efficient are your methods?
Programming Your Subconscious Mind
As little as 2-5 mindful minutes on our platform in a day, are bound to give you and your loved ones more practical food for thought than hours of:
“Unverified, ill-researched “self-help” blogs and vlogs.
Sweet-nothing quotes and shorts on social media, created solely to be easy on the eyes and mind.
Cathartic conversations with loved ones, who have good intentions but human impulses, and so forth.
Define success on your own terms, achieve it
by your own rules, and build a life you're
proud to live.
We’re happy to take the horse to the water…
No Magic Pill
Instead of expecting adolescents to draw inspiration from their environment (which is not in anyone's control), condemning their personal growth to the slim chances of lessons they may or may not learn through life experiences, and lastly, instead of forcing them into the moral compasses of those around them (peers, guardians, and teachers), ParfaitTu and BishopAI step up to the daunting duty of convincing youth that there is no probity, integrity, honor, or even “success” without perspicacious sacrifice and earnest toil.
Where there is a will…
There Is a Way!
At ParfaitTu, we are proud to boast that we have created a haven for intellectual and aspirational children, who are ahead of their times, by diligently curating the ideal environment for each individualistic human “seed” to not only germinate and but also flourish. We are confident in our ability to bring out the best in the people who trust us with their time- not by pushing, not by reprimanding, not by manipulating, but simply by proving to them that- There is a tangible and practical way, for them to be who they are proud to be, and who their conscience sees them as capable of being.
