He noted that the system is particularly vital for lightening the workload in schools that face limited digital infrastructure. Currently being piloted for grades 9 to 12, the AI assistant operates entirely offline to remain accessible despite connectivity constraints. It is fully tailored to the curriculum, allowing teachers to efficiently prepare exams and lesson plans, with future plans to integrate the AI support into university Learning Management Systems (LMS).
