This means:

• ⚡ No lag

• 🧠 Real-time contextual actions

• 🌍 Potential for AI in low-connectivity classrooms

Why it matters for educators:

• Offline AI = AI in under-resourced schools

• Future: Students may soon “train” their own bots

• You’ll soon have tools that mark, moderate, and assist — with no internet

🎥 Watch how this impacts classrooms in our upcoming breakdown video - coming soon
