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
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.
“Today heralds an exciting chapter in the realization of
personalized education – a milestone that was previously beyond
reach, at scale, until now,” said Shivani Stumpf, Chief Product and
Innovation Officer at PowerSchool. “In addition to supporting
parents, teachers, and educators,
PowerBuddy helps each child cultivate a genuine passion for
learning, driven by the intentional design of safe, supportive,
inspiring, and tailored experiences using AI.”
PowerSchool’s Unmatched AI Capabilities for the Education
Ecosystem:
- Secure by Design: Like all AI implemented across
PowerSchool’s platform, PowerBuddy was developed using responsible
AI principles and fine-tuned specifically for K-12 education.
Unlike other companies that require districts to share their data,
PowerSchool brings AI to districts’ data, avoiding the pitfalls of
other solutions that require data transportation to AI
applications. This provides an unmatched level of security for
protecting student information.
- Seamless Integration: Unlike other standalone
applications, PowerSchool AI is integrated into products educators,
students, and parents use every day so they will not be required to
learn a new system when educators are already overwhelmed.
- Unparalleled Personalization: The AI integrates into
PowerSchool products, widely used by millions of students and
educators each day. This integration ensures users benefit from
personalized support driven by a comprehensive 360-degree holistic
view of student and educator data derived from PowerSchool’s
integrated suite of products, unlike other one-off standalone AI
solutions. Additionally, the company leverages its K-12 Data
Platform, recognizing that the effectiveness of AI relies on
complete data. The platform plays a crucial role in breaking down
data silos, providing purpose-built, education-specific
capabilities to enhance the overall functionality of the AI
system.
- Delivery at Scale: Unlike other products on the market,
PowerSchool has the proven capability to support districts of any
size with an in-depth knowledge of the education ecosystem,
including state, territory, and district-level requirements, all
protected with industry-leading security protection and data
privacy protocol.
- System Agnostic: Districts can leverage all the data
from technology tools they already use to get the most accurate and
holistic personalized insights and support.
“With PowerSchool’s vision to leverage AI capabilities to
transform data into actionable goals that help achieve better
student outcomes, we feel incredibly optimistic about our journey
forward,” said Dr. Joseph Nettikaden, Chief Information Officer at
Esol Education, UAE.
“PowerSchool is revolutionizing education on a global scale by
leveraging AI designed specifically for K-12 education to empower
our teachers and staff to change lives by helping young people
design their future,” said Fr. Jose Alarico Carvalho, Director of
Father Agnel School in India. “This AI-powered assistant will
invigorate learning, foster collaboration and efficiency in ways we
haven't seen before. Our school has always pioneered change and I’m
excited to partner with PowerSchool on this transformative
endeavor.”
