AI-powered school ERP

AI that does the paperwork and leaves the decisions to you.

Chalkbell puts AI into the two jobs that eat the most staff time at term end and session start: writing report card remarks and building the timetable. AI drafts, a teacher decides.

What it is

Chalkbell is an AI-powered school management system for Indian schools. AI is built into two jobs. Class teachers get a first draft of each student's report card remark, written from that student's own marks, attendance and co-scholastic grades, and edit it before saving. Timetable in-charges write their rules in plain words, such as "no maths after lunch", and Chalkbell builds a clash-free weekly timetable that follows them. In both cases AI proposes and a person approves; nothing is saved until someone presses Save.

What you get

Report card remarks, drafted

One click drafts a two-to-three sentence remark for every student in the class, naming their strongest subjects, what needs work, and a next step.

Written from real marks only

Each draft is based on that student's grades, attendance and co-scholastic results. The AI is told never to invent activities or behaviour.

Student names never sent

The AI sees "S1", "S2" and the marks, not names, admission numbers or parents. Chalkbell puts the first name back in afterwards.

Timetable rules in plain words

Type rules the way you would say them: "Meena Ma'am is free on Saturdays", "at most two English periods a day". Chalkbell shows how it understood each one.

No clashes, guaranteed by the solver

A scheduling engine, not the AI, places every period, so a teacher is never in two rooms at once and the bell schedule is always followed.

You approve before anything changes

Drafts and timetables are previews. Teachers edit remarks; the coordinator reviews the timetable grid, tries another arrangement, or saves.

How it works

  1. Marks and attendance are entered in Chalkbell as usual.
  2. The class teacher clicks "Draft remarks with AI", reads each draft and edits what needs changing.
  3. For the timetable, pick classes, set periods per week and write any rules in plain words.
  4. Review the preview, then save. Every AI action is recorded in the school's audit log.

Who it's for

  • Class teachers writing 40 remarks the night before results
  • Timetable in-charges rebuilding the timetable every April
  • Principals who want AI used carefully, with staff in control
  • Schools comparing "AI-powered" ERPs and wanting to see the real thing

Questions schools ask

What does AI do in Chalkbell?

Two things today. It drafts class-teacher remarks for report cards from each student's marks, attendance and co-scholastic grades, and it turns timetable rules written in plain language into constraints for Chalkbell's timetable generator. Teachers review and approve both before anything is saved.

Does the AI see student names or personal details?

No. For remarks, the AI receives a reference such as S1 with that student's grades and attendance only, with no name, admission number, parents or date of birth. Chalkbell adds the first name back after the draft returns. For timetables, it sees subject, class and staff names, and no student data.

Can AI make a timetable with clashes?

No. The AI only reads the written rules. A separate scheduling engine places every period and never puts a teacher or a class in two places at once. Rules the AI could not understand are listed back to you, not guessed.

Does AI save anything on its own?

No. Remark drafts appear in the report card form for the teacher to edit, and generated timetables appear as a preview. Nothing is saved until a staff member presses Save, and each AI action is recorded in the audit log.

Can we use Chalkbell without the AI features?

Yes. Teachers can type remarks by hand, and the timetable generator works without written rules. AI is an assistant on top of the ERP, not a requirement.

Every module writes to the same student record, so nothing is typed twice.
