SchoolAI is a classroom AI platform founded in 2023 by former Apple instructional designer Caleb Hicks, designed to help teachers provide personalized learning at scale . The platform has reached 1 million classrooms across 80+ countries and is embedded in over 500 education partnerships . Built on OpenAI models including GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, image generation, and text-to-speech, SchoolAI translates cutting-edge AI into classroom-ready tools that teachers report save 10+ hours per week . SchoolAI's agent architecture revolves around two core components: 'Spaces' (interactive learning environments created by teachers through the 'Dot' conversational assistant) and 'Sidekick' (an AI tutor that adapts to how students learn, offering guidance, pacing, and encouragement based on their responses) . Teachers can type something like 'create a differentiated reading activity for students at three different levels,' and Dot assembles a ready-to-use lesson in seconds . Unlike simple chatbots, every student interaction runs through an agent graph with dozens of specialized nodes that call models, tools, or guardrails before returning an answer—ensuring students receive structured support that reinforces real learning rather than just getting answers . A key differentiator is SchoolAI's teacher-in-the-loop architecture: every student interaction is observable, giving teachers proactive insight into what students need before small gaps become bigger ones . Built-in guardrails help ensure safe, transparent, and classroom-aligned AI use. One cited example involved a student newly arrived in the US who only spoke Dari—within weeks of using Sidekick for real-time translation, he was participating in group work and building friendships . The platform serves teachers, students, and administrators, with real-time instructional data that school leaders use to understand what's working and where to invest support . SchoolAI is available with a free tier and operates on a freemium model for expanded features .
