Agastya SLM: The Soul Voice of Schools
When we talk about AI in education, most people think of big generic systems, tools that can answer everything, but for everyone
When we talk about AI in education, most people think of big generic systems, tools that can answer everything, but for everyone. At Agastya, we believe schools need something more personal, more native. That's why we built the School Language Model (SLM) - your school's very own AI voice, tuned to its culture, language and needs.
As Rakesh puts it:
LLMs = answer everything for everyone. SLMs = answer everything for YOU. Why search the forest for water when you have a well in your own courtyard? Agastya is your own AI sage, always closer with every conversation.
What is an SLM?
Manu breaks it down beautifully: "A School Language Model is an AI tool, adapted for classrooms that understands and generates human language for students, teachers and administrators. It's your tutor, feedback guide, planner and translator—all rolled into one."
Why it Matters for Schools
For VP, the SLM is more than software: "It's the School Life Manager. The memory, voice, and pulse of the school. Like a guardian who knows the school inside out."
Prabhakaran adds the teacher's perspective: "It boosts productivity by automating repetitive tasks like grading, drafting circulars or preparing lesson plans. Parents can check fees, PTM schedules or bus routes instantly. Admins get real-time reports and compliance updates, all with a single command."
Everyday Impact
Aman captures it in one line: "SLM turns schools into a seamless conversation - assignments, attendance, challenges, progress tracking - it's not just a tool, it's an intelligent assistant."
Himanshu echoes this with the daily grind: "Why click through endless menus when you can just ask? Agastya's chatbot makes school management interactive, fast and efficient."
The Student Lens
Falak connects it back to confidence: "For students battling anxiety or hesitation, Agastya is the voice of ease. It helps them learn in their own language, breaking barriers and nurturing brighter confidence."
And as Manjunath sums it up: "In education, time is truly precious. The SLM saves it, making learning engaging, support instant and responses accurate."
The Punchline
We often say it best with humor: "When ChatGPT knows calculus but can't tell you when your PTM is… → Enter SLM."
The Game-Changer
Agastya's SLM is not just another AI, it's the game-changer. A school's own voice. A guardian. A sage. A bridge between tradition and technology. And above all, a step toward schools that run not on scattered systems, but on intelligence.
