PowerSchool Unveils Contextual AI Solutions to Reduce Teacher Workloads and Accelerate Student Learning

PowerSchool, the premier provider of cloud-based software for K-12 education in North America, has announced the general availability of its groundbreaking PowerBuddy™ products, aimed at empowering teachers and enhancing student learning through contextual AI solutions.

Revolutionizing Education with AI

Founded on PowerSchool’s Responsible AI principles and piloted by school districts representing over 1.5 million students, these Conversational AI assistants provide support for teachers to enable personalized education in a way never experienced before.

Empowering Educators with Superpowers

“With PowerBuddy as their safe and secure digital assistant, educators for the first time gain superpowers, merging practical efficiency, scalable personalized instruction, and prioritized student engagement – a remarkable milestone as we welcome a new era of education,” said Shivani Stumpf, Chief Product and Innovation Officer at PowerSchool.

Integrating AI into Education Platforms

“By integrating AI into Schoology and Performance Matters – platforms widely trusted by millions of educators daily – teachers can save hundreds of hours generating student assessments and assignments, all without needing to master a new learning curve, or manually transfer data between disconnected standalone solutions.”

“I love the way my teachers would be able to use PowerBuddy to create lessons and assessments that are more personalized for those students and will have additional resources beyond what they are given from their teachers,” said Kimberly Nidy, educator at North Canton City School District in Ohio.

Expanding AI Offerings

PowerBuddy is an AI-powered assistant designed to deliver adaptable, individualized experiences for educators, students, administrators, and parents. Leveraging Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Services technology, PowerBuddy will be joined later by additional products focusing on Data Analysis, Content, Custom AI, College & Career, Engagement, and Coaching & Mentoring.
