Teachers can reference curriculum docs, tap into their personal libraries, and get research-backed answers with real sources. It’s the space where planning meets insight, and where teachers are never alone, guided by their personal co-teacher.
WhatsApp

For teachers in rural or low-connectivity areas, we brought core features to WhatsApp. Quick tasks, fast answers, and essential tools right where they already are. It’s infrastructure designed to meet teachers on their terms.
Tools

Teachers submit a simple form to instantly generate a complete lesson plan, aligned assessments, and ready-made exercises. By eliminating busywork, Tools give teachers more time with their students.
“I can create accurate, curriculum-aligned, personalized assessments in minutes. What once felt overwhelming is now effortless, giving me more time, clarity, and confidence to focus on what truly matters: helping my learners thrive.”
Nancy Nderitu
Teacher from Kiambu, Kenya
“As a Mathematics and Computer Studies teacher, planning used to take hours, schemes of work, lesson plans, exams, timetables, even report forms. Now, I create all of them with ease, clarity, and confidence.”
Daniel Kamau
Mathematics & Computer Science Teacher
“It's been mind-blowing: my classroom is livelier, planning is easier, and my lessons now reflect 2Ist-century learning and the national goals of education.”
Lerte Maxwell
Teacher from Samburu
“I felt always stuck and was not able to access new technolog ies. With Amal on WhatsApp, I can now take advantage of Amal without being worried about by data packages.”
Mary Mwangi
Lower primary English and Math Teacher from Turkana County
“In our rural area, data is expensive and the network is often weak. The co-teacher works so well on WhatsApp that I can still get help with curriculum ideas. It has truly changed how I teach.”

I was skeptical at first, but the WhatsApp co-teacher has become part of my weekly routine.”

How does Amal Labs ensure content aligns with local education standards?
Amal Labs uses a modular infrastructure with frontier AI models, routing individual queries to the most appropriate computational resource. The platform is designed to improve the accuracy and relevance of model outputs by incorporating validated data sources, rather than relying solely on the model’s training data.

Amal Labs is firmly committed to the ethical stewardship of personal data.
