What We Do
We're reimagining how learning happens when every student has their own classroom-connected AI mentor from kindergarten to career.
Today that means we're building GPT-powered activities that make it easy for teachers to bring safe, managed AI experiences into the classroom.
Learning about the Civil War? Let every student interview Abraham Lincoln about the Gettysburg Address. Want to know how every student is doing? Run a quick Pulse Check and find out in seconds. Writing essays? Give every student their own writing coach.
Every teacher gets a live dashboard of how their students are doing and feeling so they can orchestrate a classroom and school experience that works for every student.
SchoolAI is integrated with the curriculum & tools teachers and schools are already using, and brings school goals, teaching style, and parents' aspirations for their kids to truly personalize every student interaction – all in service of better learning for every kid.
Founded in early 2023, we're proudly building in Utah, and serving hundreds of thousands of students worldwide.
