PowerSchool brings the transformative potential of AI to K-12 education through the integration of AI models across its product and data platform with the introduction of PowerBuddy, the generative AI-powered assistant
FOLSOM, Calif., Jan 24 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- PowerSchool (NYSE: PWSC), the leading provider of cloud-based software for K-12 education in North America, today announced the next evolution of its AI platform with the launch of PowerSchool PowerBuddy™, an AI-powered assistant for everyone in education.
PowerSchool’s AI ecosystem founded on Responsible AI principles uniquely benefits all stakeholders crucial to a student’s educational journey. With their very own PowerBuddy, each student, parent, educator, counselor, and administrator will now have safe and secure access to individualized guidance, information, and resources at their fingertips, helping students receive the most optimal social, emotional, and academic support in a way never experienced before.
Unlike other one-off AI offerings, PowerSchool’s comprehensive AI ecosystem is purposefully engineered to “bring AI to data.” This distinctive approach upholds rigorous standards of privacy, ethics, and security establishing a modern method for responsible and innovative AI implementation in education.
PowerBuddy is a role-specific Conversational AI assistant being piloted now and will be available for the 2024-2025 school year to support student progress in and out of the classroom.
PowerBuddy will initially be incorporated into Schoology Learning offering students on-demand, one-on-one assistance with their assignments and tailored pathways transforming traditional learning into an immersive and engaging experience. Teachers will be able to use PowerBuddy to generate lesson plans, automate the creation of quizzes and assessments in Performance Matters, and personalize homework at scale, saving them time to focus on what’s most important – interaction with students. Additionally, it will offer individualized college and career guidance through Naviance CCLR for both counselors and students.
Parents can leverage PowerBuddy in My PowerSchool to inquire about their child's academic performance and other relevant information. They will receive proactive alerts if their child is falling behind, fostering transparency and empowering parents to participate in their child’s education. Additionally, PowerBuddy will offer personalized, district-approved academic and social-emotional learning resources from ContentNav to actively support them in their child's learning. Furthermore, administrators can ask natural language questions about their data within Analytics & Insights and PowerSchool SIS to truly democratize information for decision-making. PowerBuddy will eventually be expanded across the entire PowerSchool ecosystem. It will be system-agnostic and will integrate with most education technology tools, including non-PowerSchool products.
