Some Classanza features use artificial intelligence (AI). This page explains which ones, how they are labelled, what data they use, and how we keep children safe.
1. Which features use AI
| Feature | Who uses it | What the AI does |
|---|---|---|
| Quiz drafts | Teachers | Drafts quiz questions from a topic, a photo or sketch, or a short spoken brief (up to 20 questions) |
| Class-note drafts | Teachers | Drafts a class note from your pointers, up to 3 photos and a voice note of up to 60 seconds |
| Ask | Teachers | Reads a question you ask about your own classes; your phone then works out the answer from your records |
| Practice sets | Students | Writes practice questions on a topic the teacher has covered |
| Doubt solver | Students | Explains how to solve a question from a photo, step by step, ending with the answer |
Practice sets and the doubt solver are not open to students yet; this page says how they will work when they are.
Everything else in Classanza — fees, attendance, the calendar, chat, report cards and flashcards — does not use AI.
2. You always know it is AI
- AI is always disclosed. AI-written drafts, practice questions and explanations carry a "Made with AI" label; Ask and the doubt solver tell you at the start that you are using AI, not talking to a person. A quiz or note a teacher publishes after reviewing an AI draft is shown as the teacher's.
- Ask shows a "Showing" line with how it understood your question. Check it; if it is wrong, ask again in other words.
- AI can make mistakes. Check what it gives you.
3. Teacher review
- AI quiz and class-note drafts are always drafts. Nothing reaches a student until the teacher has reviewed it, edited it and pressed publish. The teacher is responsible for what they publish.
- Practice sets and doubt-solver answers are different. They are made by AI for the student and go straight to the student. The teacher does not review them and cannot see them. They are a study aid and may be wrong.
4. Keeping children safe
- Every AI request from a student's account carries a child-safety instruction to the AI.
- The student AI only works on school topics, from the teacher's own quizzes and notes or a photo of a question.
- If a question or answer suggests a child may be at risk, the app shows a helpline card (for example Childline 1098 in India) instead of an answer.
- No student's name, account, answers, marks or class name is ever sent to the AI.
- We follow Anthropic's Usage Policy and its guidelines for products used by people under 18. See also our Child Safety Standards.
5. What data the AI receives
- Only what the feature needs — for example a topic, your pointers, or one photo. The full list per feature is in our Privacy Policy.
- Names are hidden. For Ask, your phone removes names, numbers, amounts, marks, phone numbers, emails, UPI IDs and links before anything is sent.
- Photos are re-encoded on the phone first, which removes location and camera details.
- Voice is turned into text on your phone (or, only if you allow it, by Google's or Apple's speech service). Audio is never sent to the AI and Classanza never stores it.
- Not used to train AI. Our provider's commercial terms say it may not train its models on what we send.
6. Who provides it
The AI is provided by Anthropic PBC, in the United States. Every AI feature uses its Claude Haiku model. For Ask only, a question Haiku is unsure how to read is read again by Anthropic's larger Claude Sonnet model, which receives the same text, with names and numbers already removed.
In the app from Google Play and the App Store, requests go from our server in Mumbai, India, to Anthropic, and the reply comes back; until that server is switched on, the AI features are not available in those versions. Test versions used only by our own team send requests to Anthropic directly.
7. You choose
- Each AI feature asks before you use it for the first time, says what it sends and to whom, and sends nothing until you tap "Allow". If you tap "Not now", nothing is sent.
- You can turn any AI feature off at any time in Profile → Privacy and permissions.
8. What AI is never used for
AI in Classanza is never used to decide marks, grades, report cards, admission, or whether a student has cheated. Practice sets never affect a grade. Marks shown to families come from the teacher.
