Built on Research, With Schools and Teachers

Colleague AI isn’t a simple AI wrapper. It is a workflow-embedded tool for educators.

We are an AI platform for K–12 education developed and validated through federally funded research, with over $18M in competitive grants. Our work is conducted in partnership with leading researchers, teachers, schools, and districts to ensure our tools are pedagogically sound, safe, and effective at scale.

Designed for scale across districts and schools
Grounded in learning science, assessment, and instructional design
Built with privacy, safety, and governance as first-class requirements

AI That Supports Teaching—Without Replacing Professional Judgment

Colleague AI helps educators plan lessons, differentiate instruction, create assessments, grade, create assignments, provide feedback, reflect on student progress, fulfill individualized education plans (IEPs), and more—while keeping teachers fully in control.

Unlike point solutions, our tools are designed to align with curriculum, assessment, and data analytics across classrooms and grade levels to achieve continuous improvement and personalized learning.

AI That Helps Students Learn—Not Just Finish Work

Our student-facing tools are built to reinforce understanding, guide problem-solving, and support independent learning—without turning AI into a shortcut.

Colleague AI emphasizes learning integrity, transparency, and age-appropriate use, aligned with school and district policies.

One Platform. The Entire K–12 Ecosystem.

While most AI tools focus on a single user or task, Colleague AI supports the entire education system.

We are the only comprehensive AI platform that spans:

Teaching and instruction
Student learning and support
School leadership and administration
District-level planning, reporting, and governance

This allows schools and districts to adopt AI coherently, rather than stitching together disconnected tools.

Responsible AI for Real Schools

AI in education must be safe, transparent, and accountable.

Colleague AI is built with:

Strong privacy protections
Age-appropriate AI experiences
Administrative oversight and controls

We help schools adopt AI responsibly—without adding risk or complexity.

Why Teachers Love Colleague AI

Colleague.ai is impressive in its ability to understand and respond to specific educational criteria like 'C 3', streamlining evaluations and enhancing teacher and student teacher development.

I see ClaireAI as a kind of new TA: it gives fast, helpful first-pass feedback that enables students to make improvements right away, but I still review and make final grading decisions.

Using this Colleague.ai has significantly shifted my approach to group work and student interactions in my classroom. It helps me craft questions that truly challenge the students and stimulate more meaningful engagement.
