Initial situation: existing AI tools did not fit the school
The Berufswahlschule Uster was looking for ways to use artificial intelligence meaningfully in everyday school life. The solution had to support all user groups equally: students, teachers and administrative staff.
Existing AI tools were often not privacy-compliant or too generic for the educational context. There was also no central solution that fitted into the school’s existing IT infrastructure.
Goal: one central AI solution for teaching and administration
The focus was on four requirements:
- Include all user groups: students, teachers and administration work with the same solution.
- Comply with data protection: take Swiss data protection regulations into account and protect student data.
- Fit into the existing IT: keep using existing user accounts.
- Stay flexible: cover different use cases, from teaching to the back office.
The solution: workspaces, tutors and AI agents
Evoya AI developed and implemented an AI strategy with the school. The solution includes public and protected areas:
- Website chat: a publicly accessible AI chat on the school website.
- Protected AI workspaces: work areas for internal collaboration.
- Specialised tutors: targeted support in various subject areas.
- Administrative AI agents: support for back-office processes.
In total, over 30 specialised AI agents are in use. Depending on the use case and its privacy requirements, the solution uses different language models.
Implementation
The architecture is scalable and can grow with the school. Active Directory integration connects all existing user accounts without extra work for IT administration. Operation is kept simple for all user groups, even though several components work together in the background.
Results: over 200 users and over 30 agents in daily use
- Broad use: over 200 students, teachers and staff are connected.
- Agents in daily use: over 30 specialised AI agents support everyday school life.
- Relief for administration: AI agents support administrative routine tasks.
- Learning support: personalised tutors support students in various subject areas.
