Step into AI-powered learning experiences you create once and launch to your students to facilitate countless unique and adaptive learning journeys. With Spaces, every student gets a personalized interaction that meets them where they are.
What is a Space?
Spaces are AI-powered learning environments that teachers create to deliver personalized, interactive experiences for students. You can build a Space from scratch or remix one of 200,000+ in our library, customizing it around your learning objectives, subject, and grade level.
Students interact with Dot, their personal AI assistant, through a chat-based experience you define and control.
Spaces automatically adapt content difficulty as students progress — adjusting vocabulary, reteaching concepts when gaps are identified, and scaling challenges based on mastery — so every student gets an experience tailored to where they are.
Spaces can act as chatbots, tutors, interactive quizzes, role-playing scenarios, bellringers, exit tickets, and more. You set the parameters — the standards, the goals, the tone — and SchoolAI handles the personalized delivery for every student in your class.
Once created, you share a Space with students via a link or code through email, Google Classroom, or directly in class. Students navigate the activity at their own pace while real-time analytics help teachers identify who needs immediate support.
How it works
1. Find or create a Space
You don't have to start from scratch. The Discover library contains over 200,000 teacher-created Spaces, searchable by topic, subject, and grade level. Browse, preview, and launch directly — or remix a Space and make it your own.
When you're ready to build, click Create a Space – we’ll walk you through writing the prompts that guide how Dot responds to your students. The clearer and more specific your instructions, the better the AI follows them. You can align a Space to specific standards, add a step-by-step agenda for students to follow, and even embed interactive tools (called PowerUps) like an image generator, doodle board, or mind map.
2. Preview before you share
Before your students see anything, you can enter a preview mode and interact with the Space as if you were a student. This lets you catch anything unexpected and refine the experience until it works exactly as you intend.
3. Share with students
When you're ready, share the Space via a link, QR code, or through your LMS (like Google Classroom or Canvas). Students jump in on their own devices and start engaging immediately.
4. Monitor in real time
Mission Control — your teacher dashboard — gives you a live view of every student's session as it happens. You'll see engagement levels, learning progress, sentiment signals, and alerts if a student gets stuck or says something that needs your attention. The dashboard automatically surfaces patterns across your class so you can spot who needs help before they fall behind.
5. Adjust on the fly
You can add a session-specific prompt any time you launch a Space to customize it for that day's lesson — no need to rebuild the whole thing. Based on what you see in Mission Control, you can also jump in directly, refine your instructions in real time, or save updates for next time.
What Spaces can do
Just a few examples of how teachers use Spaces:
Let students "interview" historical figures like Harriet Tubman or Frederick Douglass
Turn a YouTube video into an interactive lesson with built-in comprehension checks
Run a bellringer at the start of class or an exit ticket at the end
Provide a subject tutor that guides students through assignments step by step
Create an immersive choose-your-own-adventure story around any topic or standard
Support language learners by translating and adjusting content in real time
Built-in accessibility features — including text-to-speech, speech-to-text, language translation, and adjustable difficulty — are available in every Space automatically.
Start with Discover
If you're not sure where to begin, head to the Discover library. You'll find curated collections organized by just about everything, including:
Everyday Spaces — Go-to favorites for daily teaching (Sidekick, Tutoring Session, Topic Explorer, Pulse: Bellringer, Pulse: Exit Ticket, and more)
Subjects — Resources organized by academic discipline
Grade Level — Starter packs from K–2 through 9–12
Seasonal — Timely content organized by month
Pick any Space, select “Preview & Launch,” and explore it as a student would. It's the fastest way to understand how Spaces work before you build your own.
Frequently asked questions
What subjects can Spaces be used for? Any subject. Spaces work across history, science, language arts, math, foreign language, CTE, and more. If you can describe the learning experience in a prompt, you can build it as a Space.
Can I align a Space to Common Core standards? Yes. You can specify standards when building a Space, and many Spaces in the Discover library are already standards-aligned and searchable by standard.
Will AI just give students the answers? Not if you set it up right. With the right instructions, Dot acts as a guide — asking questions, giving feedback, and prompting deeper thinking — rather than a shortcut.
Can I monitor what students are doing? Yes. Mission Control gives you a real-time view of every student's activity and chat history, along with data trends and any flagged behavior.
Is there a cost? Free accounts include access to Spaces with up to 75 student sign-ins per day. Paid plans unlock a more powerful AI model, higher accuracy, and unlimited student interactions. Request a quote for school or district pricing.
