Paddy had just launched an AI platform to relieve teacher workloads; increase the amount of time spent preparing lessons, and improves personalized support of students.

The three teachers founded the Germany-based EdTech startup Paddy, announcing a unique AI platform designed to lessen teacher workload and enhance classroom efficiency. Currently with 12,000 active users, the platform automates some of the rote lesson-preparation jobs so that teachers have more time to attend to individual students.

The AI system suggests an appropriate form of tasks, methods of teaching, and materials when determining the subjects of the lesson, target audience, and learning outcome. The value of this streamlined strategy is to lower the stress level of teachers and make students transition into the world of AI early in their studies.

Felix Assion, Investment Manager at HTGF, sees Paddy as an opportunity to reduce stress among teachers and at the same time educate students on the use of AI:He believes the approach taken by the founders of Paddy is highly innovative and entrepreneurial, given their young age.

Driven by the vision of his own sentiments at school and his experience as a teacher, co-founder/CEO Matty Frommann accentuated the urgency of tools that would create independence among teachers in terms of management. Lots of teachers would like to help students individually and do not have the time. Paddy comes in there,” he said.

With the increasing pace of EdTech adoption all over the world, an AI-driven solution that Paddy proposes may become an important milestone in redesigning an environment in which technology assists educational processes to become more streamlined and more engaging.
