SYNAPSE: Multi-LLM AI Tutor for Secure Software Development with Neurodivergent-First Design

Jul 17, 2026

SYNAPSE is a publicly deployed adaptive tutoring platform that coordinates Claude, GPT-4o, and Gemini via the Model Context Protocol to teach secure software development. It offers 18 always-visible accessibility features and uses a deliberately vulnerable web application mapped to six OWASP Top 10 categories for hands-on practice. A pilot study with 19 participants, including both neurodivergent and neurotypical learners, reported a System Usability Scale score of 76.4 and engagement of 4.2 out of 5.

Why it matters: This work demonstrates a practical multi-LLM orchestration system for education that prioritizes neurodivergent learners, addressing gaps in both security training and accessibility.
