SchoolAI

SchoolAI is an AI platform that lets teachers design guided AI learning experiences for their students and monitor every student conversation live. Its premise is that every AI activity should start with a teacher: rather than giving students an open chatbot, the teacher writes the instructions, sets content boundaries and decides what the assistant should help with. The teacher dashboard, Mission Control, is what sets it apart from consumer chat tools.

What is SchoolAI used for?

Schools use SchoolAI to give students personalized AI support inside activities a teacher has shaped, while staff keep oversight.

• Creating Spaces for practice, tutoring, writing support, debates or role plays with historical figures
• Launching ready-made Spaces from a library of more than 200,000 templates
• Watching student progress and sticking points in real time through Mission Control
• Flagging concerning messages and routing alerts to counselors or administrators
• Adding PowerUps, focused AI apps that help students create, practice and explore
• Using the browser extension for feedback and lesson creation inside other tools

Who SchoolAI is best for

SchoolAI suits K-12 teachers who want students to use AI in class but need guardrails, and district leaders who want one platform with alerts, reports and standards alignment. Higher education programs are also listed as a market. Teachers who only want AI for their own planning, with no student use, will get more from a teacher-only tool, and very small schools may find the plan structure built for districts.

SchoolAI pricing

As of October 2026, SchoolAI's pricing page lists a Free Trial that gives teachers five free trial Spaces, five Space launches per year, PowerUps, tools and assistants, limited browser extension access and the premade Space library. The Pro plan adds SIS rostering, unlimited Space launches and sessions, admin alert routing, usage reports, full LMS integration, standards alignment, professional development and a customer success manager. The Scale plan adds student portals, an AI Sidekick for students, student uploads, an embedded Sidekick in Canvas, a notetaker and district-level custom instructions. No prices are published for Pro or Scale, so schools need to contact SchoolAI or request a demo.

Limitations to keep in mind

• The free tier is a trial with a yearly launch cap, not a full free plan
• Paid plans are priced by quote, which makes it hard for a single teacher to buy
• Student AI conversations still need teacher review, since any model can make mistakes
• Many of the most useful features, such as rostering and alert routing, sit in Pro and above

SchoolAI vs alternatives

ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot are general assistants with education plans, but they do not give a classroom teacher a live feed of 30 student conversations or let them set activity-level rules. Learn About from Google is better suited to self-directed exploration by an individual learner. SchoolAI wins when a school wants students using AI under teacher-defined instructions, with monitoring and alerts built in.

Tips for getting started with SchoolAI

Spend your five trial Spaces wisely: pick one premade Space close to your current unit, adjust its instructions, and run it with a single class first. Write clear boundaries in the Space instructions, such as asking the assistant to give hints rather than answers. Keep Mission Control open on your screen while students work so you can step in early. Before a district pilot, ask how alert routing will reach your counseling team.
