StringCompared with an LMS

An LMS keeps what you enter. String's AI does the work.

String is far bigger than an LMS. It gathers the school's data from its apps, from its teachers' work and from the classroom itself, and AI agents take on what used to be typed by hand.

  • Works with your LMS, or replaces it
  • What String records is never typed by hand
  • String Smart Screen records what happens in class

Who does the work?

Ask in a sentence. The AI does the rest.

With an LMS, the teacher moves between apps and carries grades from one to the next. String's AI reaches those apps and works inside them instead.

It reaches every app

No more moving between apps. Ask String for what you need, and it reaches every app your school uses.

It runs the apps for you

Ask in one sentence, and String carries out the steps in each app for you.

It works inside the app itself

String adds its assistant inside the app, even one with no AI of its own, so students can ask it and teachers can lean on it.

Where the data comes from

String sees the whole school, not just what is typed into it

Data comes from four places into one record, and the agents work from that record. Nobody carries it across by hand.

  • The school's appsKahoot quiz results
  • Teachers' work on StringWorksheet: fractions
  • String classes24 of 28 handed in

Inside the classroom

What happens in a lesson is no longer lost

String Smart Screen records the lesson's transcript, what is written on the board and what happens on the screen. So String knows what was explained and what students asked, and the agents start their work from there.

What String did after the lesson

  • A recap for parents

    The reports agent wrote the lesson recap from the transcript, and it reaches parents once the teacher approves.

  • Reports on students, the class and the teacher

    The lesson goes into each student's report, the report on the whole class, and the teacher's.

  • Progress and the skill map

    String updated each student's progress and skill map on adding fractions, Omar's question on different denominators included.

  • The homework, and a question kept

    The agent added the homework to Grade 8A, and reminds the teacher of Omar's question before tomorrow's lesson.

Who sees what?

  • The teacher and students: the lesson and its transcript
  • Parents and school leaders: the reports

And the teacher controls all of it, to keep the class private.

Agents that work every day, without being asked

An attendance agent, a marking agent and a reports agent. Each works inside your school's systems and shows you the result, and every step it takes is logged.

Ready-made agents for school work

From paper to report, no chasing

Nothing is sent without your approval

The comparison

What an LMS does, and what String does

By an LMS we mean what many schools run on today, such as Moodle, Canvas or Google Classroom. They differ in the details and share the same core.

  • Who does the work

    An LMS
    The teacherMostly the teacher: uploading materials, marking what is not marked automatically, and recording grades and attendance.
    String
    AI agentsData is recorded where it happens, agents mark and write the reports, and the teacher reviews the result.
  • What it covers

    An LMS
    Courses, assignments, quizzes and grades.
    String
    All of that, plus attendance, exams, reports, chat, meetings and the family app, in one system.
  • Where the data comes from

    An LMS
    What happens inside the system, and what is uploaded to it.
    String
    The school's apps, teachers' work on String, String classes, and String Smart Screen in the classroom.
  • What happens in class

    An LMS
    The teacherThe system knows only what the teacher writes up after the lesson.
    String
    String Smart ScreenString Smart Screen records the lesson's transcript and what was written on the board, so String knows what was explained and what students asked.
  • AI

    An LMS
    The teacher, with a toolMany include tools that help with writing, such as generating questions and summarising text.
    String
    AI agentsAgents that do the work across all of the school's systems: they mark, write reports and follow up on absences, and every step is logged.
  • Reports

    An LMS
    The teacher or the officeReports on course activity and grades. Anything else is put together by hand.
    String
    Reports agentAgents write them on each student, the class and the teacher, from everything that happened: grades, attendance and the lessons themselves.
  • Student progress

    An LMS
    The teacherCourse grades in a gradebook. What is not marked automatically, the teacher enters.
    String
    StringString updates each student's progress and skill map from what happens in lessons and quizzes.
  • Families

    An LMS
    The teacherA parent portal or emails, depending on the system.
    String
    AI agentsThe free family app: agents send it what the teacher approves, their child's reports included.
  • Curriculum

    An LMS
    The teacher builds the course and uploads its content.
    String
    The official curriculum is already on String, so teachers upload nothing.
  • Other apps

    An LMS
    Connected through plugins, and some grades come back from them.
    String
    They run inside String under one account, and their data flows into the student record.
  • Arabic

    An LMS
    Usually a translated interface.
    String
    Built in Arabic from the start.

An LMS still has its place. If your school runs on one today, start by connecting it to String, and decide after that.

Two ways to start

Alongside your LMS, or instead of it

Your school decides. You can start with the first and move to the second when you are ready.

  • Alongside your LMS

    Your LMS stays as it is, and String connects to it.

    • String brings in courses, assignments and grades from your LMS
    • Agents work on that data along with the rest of the school's
    • Nothing changes for teachers and students at first
  • Instead of your LMS

    The whole school runs on String, in one system.

    • Classes, assignments and grades on String
    • One account for every teacher and student
    • String sees the whole picture, so its agents do more

What schools ask before switching

What schools ask while comparing String with their current LMS.

No. String works alongside your current LMS or replaces it, and your school chooses what suits it.

String connects to the school's apps and brings their data in, the LMS included, so your school does not start from zero.

It records a transcript of what the teacher and students said in the lesson, and what was written on the board. From that, String knows what was explained and what students asked.

The teacher and students see the lesson and its transcript, and parents and school leaders see the reports. The teacher controls all of it, to keep the class private.

What happens on String is recorded on its own: answers, attendance, grades and what went on in class. The teacher reviews and adjusts, rather than typing it all again.

How we protect data

The difference in size

An LMS is a small part of String

Everything an LMS does is in String, alongside the rest of the school's systems and agents that work across all of them.

String OS

What an LMS does

  • Courses
  • Assignments
  • Quizzes
  • Grades

And what String adds

  • Attendance
  • Exams
  • Reports
  • The student record
  • The skill map
  • The principal's board
  • Chat
  • Video meetings
  • The family app
  • The official curriculum
  • Worksheets and slides
  • Interactive textbooks
  • Games for every textbook
  • Hundreds of apps
  • String Smart Screen

And AI agents work across all of it, so nothing String has recorded is typed by hand.
