AI for K-12

Safe, district-controlled AI agents for student tutoring, teacher productivity, and family engagement. On ibl.ai you own all the code and the data, run it model-agnostic across any LLM, and pay with no per-seat pricing β€” so you can deploy anywhere, from your own cloud to a fully air-gapped network. No need to choose build vs. buy β€” you get both.

Agentic AI Operating System for K-12

ibl.ai gives school and district leaders their own Agentic AI Operating System β€” deploy, customize, and control AI agents across your schools without vendor lock-in. Your district owns the entire codebase and can extend or modify anything.

Available Agents

Student Tutoring

24/7 homework help, test prep, and personalized learning paths tailored to each student’s grade level and curriculum.

AI tutors grounded in district-approved materials provide step-by-step explanations, practice problems, and encouragement β€” available whenever students need support, not just during school hours.

Teacher Productivity

Lesson planning, differentiated materials, and grading assistance that give teachers hours back every week.

Automate the creation of lesson scaffolds, exit tickets, rubric-aligned feedback, and progress reports so teachers can focus on what matters most β€” teaching.

Student Services

Counseling support, college and career guidance, and social-emotional learning (SEL) check-ins.

Agents trained on your district’s resources help students navigate course selection, graduation requirements, and post-secondary planning while knowing when to escalate to human counselors.

Family Engagement

Multilingual parent communication, enrollment assistance, and school information access.

Help families navigate school processes in their preferred language β€” from registration and transportation to understanding report cards and upcoming events.

Administration

Policy Q&A, new-hire onboarding, and substitute teacher resources.

Reduce the burden on central office staff by giving administrators and substitutes instant, accurate answers grounded in district policies and handbooks.

Key Benefits

Student Safety

Dual-layer moderation on inputs and outputs, customizable by grade level.

Every student message is screened before it reaches the AI model, and every AI response is filtered before it reaches the student. Safety rules are configurable by grade band (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12) so interactions are always age-appropriate.

District Control

Own the platform β€” no vendor lock-in, no surprise pricing changes.

Your district receives the full source code. Host on your infrastructure or ours. Switch AI models anytime. No per-seat fees that escalate as adoption grows.

Teacher Time Back

Automate lesson scaffolding, materials creation, and progress reports.

Teachers spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time on high-impact instruction, differentiation, and student relationships.

Actionable Analytics

See what students ask, where they struggle, and export data for board reports.

District leaders gain visibility into learning patterns across schools. Identify curriculum gaps, track agent usage, and generate audit-ready reports for school board meetings.

Integrations

LLM-Agnostic

Supports OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic models β€” switch anytime without changing integrations.

As AI models improve and pricing changes, your district can swap providers in minutes. No rewriting agents, no migration projects.

LMS

Canvas, Schoology, Google Classroom, Blackboard, Brightspace, and Moodle via LTI.

Students and teachers access AI agents directly within the learning management system they already use every day.

SIS

PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, and Skyward.

Agents can query student records, attendance, and schedules to provide contextualized support grounded in real data.

SSO

Clever, ClassLink, Google, and Microsoft β€” FERPA and COPPA compliant.

One-click login for students and teachers using the identity providers your district already manages. No new passwords to remember.

Safety & Compliance

Dual-Layer Content Moderation

All inputs are screened before reaching the AI model AND all outputs are filtered before reaching students.

Configurable by grade level and subject area. Districts define what topics are off-limits, what language is flagged, and how the AI responds to sensitive questions.

FERPA & COPPA Compliance

Built for student data privacy from the ground up.

Deploy on your infrastructure so student data never leaves your control. No student data is used for model training. Consent management and data retention policies are fully configurable.

Age-Appropriate Responses

Agents understand developmental context and adjust complexity, tone, and content appropriateness by grade band: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12.

A second-grader and a high school junior receive fundamentally different interactions β€” in vocabulary, depth, and guardrails.

Audit & Transparency

Every agent interaction is logged and auditable.

Administrators can review conversations, flag concerns, and export reports for board meetings and compliance reviews. Full transparency into what students are asking and what the AI is responding.

Pricing & Ownership

Unlimited Users

Flat platform pricing β€” approximately 10x less than per-seat AI tools at scale.

Whether your district has 1,000 students or 100,000, the cost stays predictable. No per-user fees that punish adoption.

Full Code Ownership

Host anywhere. No lock-in. Modify anything.

Your district receives the complete source code for agents, integrations, and the platform itself. Switch hosting providers, customize the UI, or build entirely new agents β€” it’s yours.

Get Started

District Assessment

Free 30-minute session to explore AI opportunities for your schools.

We’ll map your district’s priorities, existing systems, and quick-win opportunities for AI agents.

Pilot Program

Deploy in 2-3 schools to validate safety and effectiveness.

Start small, measure results, and build confidence with teachers, parents, and board members before expanding.

District-Wide Rollout

Full deployment across all schools with comprehensive training.

Once the pilot proves value, we scale across the district with administrator dashboards, teacher training, and ongoing support.
