Through an algorithm that analyzes troves of student information from multiple sources, the chatbot was designed to offer tailored responses to questions like “what grade does my child have in math?”
Okay, I'm not a big-brain edtech integration admin, but I seem to recall that like fifteen years ago we had a website that my parents could check to see my grade in math. I feel like this was already a solved problem honestly.
Ah, but checking the actual grade gives a correct answer. Who wouldn't want to change that for a statistically likely answer?
