Edu-Assist AI is a platform designed to help school districts streamline their edtech procurement and evaluation processes. Inspired by the trend of districts rethinking their edtech stacks and the need for evidence-based decision-making, Edu-Assist AI provides a centralized hub for districts to discover, evaluate, and manage their educational technology tools. The platform offers features such as a curated database of edtech products with user reviews and efficacy data, tools for conducting pilot studies and tracking usage, and AI-powered analytics to identify “zombie licenses” and assess return on instructional impact. It aims to help districts move from a “does this look cool?” to a “does this work?” approach, ensuring that technology investments are aligned with learning goals and demonstrate tangible value.
