AI Chatbot Development for EdTech & Schools in India

FILE 01 / THE EDTECH SUPPORT PROBLEM

A student's doubt at 11 PM shouldn't have to wait until tomorrow's class.

Your teachers can't be on-call around the clock. Doubt threads on Telegram groups turn into 200-message chaos. Parents' admission queries pile up in WhatsApp during peak season and half never get answered.

A properly-built EdTech chatbot answers doubts from your lecture content, qualifies admissions inquiries, sends weekly parent updates in local languages, and even grades objective assessments. All while your teachers focus on the 20% of interactions that actually need a human.

FILE 06 / FIELD MANUAL — FAQ

Questions EdTech founders ask on every call

Can the chatbot answer doubts from our video lectures?

Yes. We transcribe your video lectures (Zoom, Google Meet, YouTube unlisted, LMS recordings), chunk by topic, and build a RAG index. Students ask "in the polynomials lecture, what does the professor mean by X?". Bot answers with the exact quote + timestamp link. Works with lectures in English or Indian languages.

Can it handle admissions inquiries on WhatsApp?

Yes. WhatsApp admissions bots handle: course inquiries, eligibility checks, fee structures, scholarship options, batch timings, document requirements. Qualified enquiries route to your counselling team with full transcript. Typical outcome: 3-5x more inquiries handled with the same team.

Does it work in Hindi and other Indian languages?

Yes. Students often prefer to ask doubts in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Bengali, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, or Gujarati even when the lecture is in English. Bot answers in the student's language. Bilingual subject glossaries (physics, chemistry, math, etc.) ensure terminology accuracy.

Can it grade or check answers?

Yes, for structured question types. MCQ (auto), short-answer (LLM + rubric), coding (compiler + test cases), math (symbolic evaluation). For open-ended essays, we generate rubric-based feedback but human graders do final scoring. Cuts teacher grading time 60-70% on objective-heavy assessments.

Can it integrate with our LMS?

Yes. We integrate with Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, Google Classroom, Teachmint, Classplus, and custom LMS platforms. Course content, student profiles, and assignment history feed the chatbot. Student progress data flows back to the LMS for teacher visibility.

How does parent communication work?

Weekly progress summaries on WhatsApp: attendance, homework completion, test scores, teacher notes. Parents can ask follow-up questions in their language. Escalates concerning patterns (dropping attendance, failing marks) to counsellors automatically.
