A government school class is different: it can be a large classroom of 40–80 students, and only 57% of India's schools have working computers (UDISE+ 2023-24). Before choosing, ask: - Devices: does every student need a phone or tablet, or can one shared device serve the class? - Teacher in charge: does the teacher control the device and see what students ask? - Safe, age-appropriate answers: does it keep to learning topics suitable for children? - Languages: does it answer in the languages your students speak? - Insight for the teacher: does it show who is struggling, so the teacher can step in? - Subjects: does it help across school subjects, or in one subject? - Data and privacy: what is stored about students, and where? ## The kinds of options General-purpose AI chatbots. Assistants from large AI companies are powerful, but they are designed for individual users, usually adults. Check each tool's terms on age and use in schools before putting it in front of children. Doubt-solving and tutoring apps for students. Many apps answer questions on a student's own phone, often through a paid plan. They suit students who have a phone and data of their own. AI tools for teachers. Some tools help teachers plan lessons and prepare material, without students using them directly.
