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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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. Safe, district-controlled AI that gives teachers time back and gives students 24/7 support — owned entirely by your district. --- ## Testimonials **What our partners say about us** **Chris Gabriel | Google** "ibl.ai is at the forefront of generative AI for education, delivering cutting-edge solutions that empower institutions with full ownership of their code and data.

I highly recommend ibl.ai to any educator." **David Flaten | SUNY** "ibl.ai's customized mentor provides my US history survey classes with a reliable AI partner. Building from my narrative text and primary support documents, the mentor removes the temptation to search the web and reinforces my selected student learning outcomes. My US history survey students are combing the web for support materials. ibl.ai takes my narrative text and supporting primary source documents and builds the tutor from that chosen base and assists me in reinforcing the core themes of the class. For those of us in the humanities and social sciences, AI has been seen as a 'cheating' mechanism. I value ibl.ai as a supporting platform that takes my chosen narrative text and primary source documents—and from them builds a custom-made tutor to support my student learning outcomes. This provides seamless support for my students. ibl.ai is a core component for my US history survey students—who need a guiding hand to review and digest both narrative and primary source texts. As instructor I deliver that, but there is always a need to support review of those materials, and the ibl.ai mentor can be that delivery mechanism and be far superior to fishing the web. ibl.ai directly benefits the US history survey student, who in seeking more comprehension and details, can now easily access the customized mentor platform and be better assured the information correlates with their unique narrative text and professor curated primary sources." **David Vise | Modern States Education Alliance** "I've worked with ibl.ai over the last several years, and they've brought creativity, integrity and technological expertise. They come in on time, on budget, with the highest quality imaginable. I recommend them very, very highly." **Linda Wood | ARM Institute (U.S. Department of Defense)** "ibl.ai and the Amigot family are a pleasure to work with and provided their services to the ARM Institute ahead of schedule. I highly recommend ibl.ai and look forward to my continued work with them." --- ## Frequently Asked Questions **Is ibl.ai safe for elementary-age students?** Yes. ibl.ai uses dual-layer content moderation — all student inputs are screened before reaching the AI model, and all AI outputs are filtered before reaching students. Moderation rules are configurable by grade band (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12) so younger students receive age-appropriate interactions. The platform is COPPA and FERPA compliant by design. **Can we run ibl.ai on our own servers so student data never leaves the district?** Yes. ibl.ai can be deployed entirely within your district's infrastructure — on-premise or in your cloud environment. Student data stays under your control at all times. You receive the full source code and can host anywhere. **Which LMS and SIS platforms does ibl.ai integrate with?** ibl.ai integrates with Canvas, Schoology, Google Classroom, Blackboard, Brightspace, and Moodle via LTI. For SIS, it connects to PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, and Skyward. SSO is supported through Clever, ClassLink, Google, and Microsoft. **How is ibl.ai different from giving students access to ChatGPT?** Unlike general-purpose AI chatbots, ibl.ai gives districts full control over what students can ask and what the AI can respond. Every interaction is logged and auditable, content moderation is built in at two layers, and agents are grounded in district-approved curricula — not the open internet. **What does 'unlimited users' pricing mean?** ibl.ai charges a flat platform fee rather than per-seat pricing. Whether you have 500 students or 50,000, the cost stays the same. At scale, this is roughly 10x less expensive than per-seat AI tools. Your district also owns the full codebase with no vendor lock-in. **How long does it take to deploy across a district?** A typical rollout follows three phases: a free 30-minute district assessment, a pilot program in 2-3 schools (usually 4-6 weeks), and then district-wide deployment with comprehensive training. Most districts go from first conversation to full deployment in under one semester. --- *[View on ibl.ai](https://ibl.ai/solutions/k-12)*
