Schools are under incredible pressure these days. Around the world, educators have been called on to improve their pupils' outcomes, but the new technologies they have come to depend on have not exactly lived up to the hype. Artificial intelligence, AI, had at first this kind of golden aura around it, that it was the answer to their problems, that it could help them hit their marks.
Instead, for some educators, AI is already looking like a dud, and they have grown skeptical. Which makes the success of Smartschool all the more surprising. Founded by three European entrepreneurs in Palo Alto, California, in 2023, Smartschool offers an agentic AI platform that helps schools and districts deliver high-impact tutoring to every student, in class and at home, including focused preparation for college entrance exams like the SAT and ACT.
