Playlab

What it does

Playlab lets teachers build AI-powered apps for their classrooms and communities, drawing on rigorous curriculum, custom frameworks, and open educational resources (OER). Educators create purpose-built tools such as writing-feedback assistants, a Model UN debate coach, and leadership coaching helpers, and can browse apps that other educators have built.

Teacher oversight is central to the design. Every student conversation with an app is visible to the teacher, who is alerted right away when a student types something needing attention, including anything suggesting self-harm. Moderation can be customized beyond this baseline, educators are assigned full rights to what they produce, and student and teacher work is not used to train outside AI models.

Playlab is offered separately for educators, organizations, and students. Educators start by joining a learning community, while organization leaders can book a demo. Compliance covers FERPA, COPPA (accounts are 13+, with guardian permission under 18), GDPR, and CCPA, with data processing agreements for the US, EU, and UK. Pricing and usage limits should be confirmed with Playlab.
