Sahayak AI | Agentic EdTech Platform for Indian Teachers & Students

Team ZION, a visionary group from IIT Jodhpur, is redefining how technology can empower India’s education system. United by a shared belief in inclusive, culturally grounded innovation, they’re building AI solutions designed to uplift both teachers and students — the twin pillars of India’s learning ecosystem.

Their mission is clear: to equip educators with intelligent tools that reduce workload and empower them to focus on what truly matters — teaching, mentoring, and inspiring. Through empathy-driven design and cutting-edge agentic AI, Team ZION is building the bridge between India’s traditional classrooms and the digital future of education.

What are they building

Sahayak AI — an intelligent, multilingual, and agentic EdTech platform built to serve as a true “Sahayak” (assistant) for Indian teachers and students.

Unlike one-size-fits-all AI tools, Sahayak AI is context-aware, localized, and capable of autonomous task execution. It doesn’t just answer questions — it acts intelligently on user intent, simplifying the daily challenges faced by educators and learners alike.

For Teachers:
Sahayak AI becomes a tireless assistant — generating detailed lesson plans, designing quizzes, grading assignments, drafting parent communications, and creating visual learning aids. Teachers can simply give natural language commands like:

“Create a weekly lesson plan on The Solar System for Grade 6”
or
“Draft a Hindi email to parents about the upcoming PTM.”

For Students:
The platform transforms into a personalized tutor. Learners can upload images of handwritten problems or ask conceptual questions in any Indian language. Sahayak AI responds with step-by-step, culturally relevant explanations — for example, using cricket or local markets to explain physics or economics.

Key Features:

AI Lesson Planner – Creates curriculum-aligned, day-by-day lesson plans for CBSE, ICSE, and state boards
Universal Solver – Interprets and solves math, science, and textual problems from images or typed input
Hyper-Local Content Generator – Builds culturally resonant examples in regional languages
Quiz & Rubric Builder – Auto-generates tests and detailed evaluation rubrics
AI Grading Assistant – Scores quizzes with personalized feedback
Paper Digitizer – Converts handwritten papers into editable digital text
3D Visual Aid Generator – Produces SVG diagrams and interactive 3D models for better conceptual understanding
Parent Communication Assistant – Drafts multilingual, professional emails
Personalized Workspace – Organizes and manages all AI-generated resources seamlessly

Why are they building or to solve what?

Indian teachers face one of the highest administrative burdens in the world — spending more than half their time on grading, reporting, and compliance tasks. Meanwhile, students often struggle with one-size-fits-all content that neither reflects their language nor their cultural reality.

Sahayak AI was born out of this imbalance. Team ZION realized that for education to evolve, technology must first understand the educator. By automating repetitive workflows and offering real-time assistance, Sahayak AI allows teachers to focus on mentorship, creativity, and classroom engagement.

For students, it ensures continuous support, even outside the classroom — explaining complex topics in accessible, localized ways. It’s education with empathy, built to understand and adapt to every learner’s context.

This project reflects IIT Jodhpur’s spirit of socially conscious innovation: creating AI that serves people, not just processes.

Scope

Sahayak AI: Built for Bharat, by Bharat

Sahayak AI is redefining EdTech in India with agentic intelligence — systems that not only respond but act on user goals. Teachers can delegate multi-step tasks to the platform and watch it autonomously generate lesson plans, evaluate student work, and communicate with parents.

But what truly distinguishes Sahayak AI is its hyper-localization. Every piece of generated content — from lessons to examples — is crafted in regional languages, using familiar cultural references that resonate with Indian learners. It’s education that feels like home, even when powered by advanced AI.

The platform’s multi-tenant SaaS design ensures scalability, security, and accessibility for both urban and rural schools. Each user — teacher, student, or administrator — experiences a tailored interface optimized for their needs.

Future Roadmap:

Expanding support to all 22 scheduled Indian languages
Integrating voice-based AI for low-literacy and low-connectivity regions
Aligning deeply with CBSE, ICSE, and state board curricula
Partnering with government bodies, NGOs, and educational institutions for rural deployment

Ultimately, Team ZION envisions Sahayak AI as the digital backbone of India’s education revolution — a true “teaching and learning companion” designed for every classroom, teacher, and learner across the nation.

Sahayak AI is more than software — it’s a movement toward equitable, empowered, and intelligent education for all of Bharat.
