Edsby is entrusted with highly sensitive structured and unstructured information about students, parents and staff.
Teachers cutting and pasting information to and from AI services like Gemini, ChatGPT, Llama and others likely don’t know they’re training these systems unless they’re using paid versions. And they’re potentially risking sharing student data. Many free AI platforms mix supplied data with data from others.
Edsby licenses Microsoft’s OpenAI technology. Because Edsby pays for the service, data shared by teachers through Edsby is never at risk.
Edsby knows the context of teachers’ requests, like the name of their class, what their level of comprehension is likely to be when generating content, which curriculum is being taught in that class, and even student achievement data. It passes this information along in the background with teachers’ requests, when appropriate, to make teachers’ AI queries even better. And it does so safely, anonymizing personal data.
Because Edsby knows so much about teachers, their classes and students, the information teachers receive back is useful, accurate and age-appropriate.
When information is received back, it all appears in Edsby, with no cutting and pasting needed by teachers.
Change management in K-12 is hard. Organizations are large. Stakeholders are diverse. And technology teams are small.
Not all new technology is appropriate for students. Staff want to focus more on teaching and are unlikely to embrace tech viewed as threatening. Parents expect authentic reporting with actual, quality teacher input.
It’s hard to use AI well. Prompt engineering is becoming increasingly complicated. Few teachers are going to invest the time required to become experts.
Even the best AI systems today don’t return perfect results to every query every time. The Edsby Teacher AI Assistant reminds teachers at the bottom of every AI screen that what they post is ultimately their responsibility.
If the systems Edsby relies on prove to be unreliable, Edsby has architected its AI Assistant in such a way that it can be easily plugged into other AI services if necessary.
Yes. But it is much less expensive to license the Edsby Teacher AI Assistant for all an organization’s teachers than for them to subscribe to an AI service individually.

Yes. Here’s our vision for where AI can be incorporated in Edsby and why.
