Schoolbox includes AI-powered tools to help streamline content creation and lesson planning. The availability of these features depends on the AI model you've connected through OpenAI or Azure OpenAI, or Azure.
What features are available?
| Feature | Description |
| CKEditor AI Tools | Use AI to rewrite, summarise, simplify, or adjust tone directly in content editors throughout Schoolbox. For example, when creating a News item. |
| Lesson Plans AI | Automatically generate structured lesson plans with objectives, activities, and outcomes. |
Note: For now, AI features in Schoolbox will only work with text and HTML content. Uploading files or media (like images, videos, or documents) is not supported in the short term.
Which models support which features?
Some AI models can only support basic editing tools (like summarising or rewriting), while others support structured outputs required by the Lesson Plan AI.
Feature Compatibility Matrix:
| AI Model | CKEditor AI | Lesson Plans AI |
| GPT-4o | Yes | Yes |

Note: If you're using a model that does not support structured outputs (like GPT-4 or GPT-4 Turbo), only CKEditor AI tools will be available. You won’t see the AI Lesson Plan button.
If you’re unsure which model you’re using or want to change your setup, please speak to your system administrator or contact Schoolbox Support.
