SUPERLINEAR

AI for school operations, administration, and governance

Your next inspection may come with 24 hours' notice.

Keep the SEF sourced and current every day of the year.

ADEK now expects every school to show responsible AI use.

Adopt AI on regulator's terms: cited, governed and signed off.

Your staff already use ChatGPT. It knows nothing about your school.

Give them AI that already knows your policies and plans.

Every term, the SEF and board pack get rewritten from scratch.

Next term, start from this term's version, already updated.

We put AI right inside Word, PowerPoint, Teams, and Outlook, the tools you already use. Our team of experts connects it with every system you use, and work with you to configure the agents to your policies, and get the results you demand.

  • Takes less than 3 minutes
  • Clear, actionable insights
  • Personalised, detailed report
  • 30 minutes
  • Fixed pilot fee, scoped in writing
  • Runs inside your own Microsoft 365

Your staff already use AI. Your SEF, SDP and policies don't benefit yet.

  1. 01

    Teachers who use AI every week say it saves them about 5.9 hours a week. Most of that time comes from lesson content.

    Independent Gallup, 2025 ↗
  2. 02

    Only 19% of those teachers worked in a school with an AI policy. The rest used it on their own.

    Independent Gallup, 2025 ↗
  3. 03

    UAE teachers spend 5.4 hours a week marking and 3 hours on admin. That work hurts well-being more than teaching does.

Our reading AI use in schools is widespread, but personal, and it happens in a chat window. The documents an inspector reads have barely been touched.

One SEF paragraph, before and after

A made-up example, built the way a real one would be.

Try this on your own SEF
Synthetic example

Tap the screenshot to open it full size

before The deputy head asks for evidence. The paragraph describes what teachers do and says nothing about results.
after Our software adds both reports as numbered sources, in a tracked change for S. Okafor. The numbers went down, so the draft now says so. It shows the SEF rule it checked against, and nothing stays in until a named person accepts it.

Try it yourself. You can do this by hand tomorrow. Next to every claim about teaching, write the outcome figure it should have moved, even when that figure went the wrong way.

From claim to evidence, in three steps

The same judgement, written three ways.

  1. 1 Assertion

    Teaching in Year 7 maths is good.

    The inspector asks “How do you know?”

  2. 2 Assertion with data

    Teaching in Year 7 maths is good: 74% of students met their MAP growth target this term.

    The inspector asks “Is that growth down to teaching? What did you see in lessons?”

  3. 3 Triangulated judgement

    Teaching in Year 7 maths is good: 74% met their MAP growth target, 5 of 6 observed lessons were good or better, and the October book look confirmed feedback is acted on.

    The inspector asks “Can I see one of those lessons?”

What changed this year

Each item is dated and sourced. We update this list when a regulator does.

    ADEK's AI policy and AI Literacy initiative

    Regulator ADEK ↗
    What it says

    Covers 170+ private schools and six safeguard areas. Training at three levels for 19,000 educators: Level 1 for everyone, Level 3 for a designated AI Lead in each school. An AI Growth Test twice a year for Grades 4–12.

  2. 3 Jun 2026

    KHDA visits return in 2026-27, with no more than 24 hours' notice

    Regulator KHDA ↗
    What it says

    Every eligible private school gets one of two visits: a full inspection with a published rating, or a shorter monitoring visit that follows lines of enquiry from KHDA's data. Both come with no more than 24 hours' notice. KHDA picks the visit type from school data, including your Self-Evaluation Form.

  3. From 2024/25

    39 updated ADEK private-school policies

    Regulator Abu Dhabi Media Office
    What it says

    14 on governance and operations, 11 on teaching and learning, 14 on health, safety and well-being. All in force.

What we will not do.

Never

  • Put AI in students' hands
  • Generate lessons
  • Send anything on its own
  • Touch safeguarding case files
  • Promise you a rating
  • Train anyone's model on your data

Always

  • Run inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant
  • Cite a source that opens, for every claim
  • Make edits as tracked changes a named person accepts
  • Keep a log your AI Lead can show an inspector
  • Sign data exit terms on day one
Against ADEK's six safeguard areas

How we line up with the safeguards ADEK published in September 2026. This is our mapping, not an ADEK endorsement. Use it as a checklist for any AI vendor, including us.

Data protection and student privacy
Deployed in your tenant. Student-level and safeguarding data stay out of the workspaces we touch.
Cognitive agency
No student-facing AI. Staff write the judgement; we draft and cite, and they decide.
Academic integrity
Every AI-drafted passage is a tracked change with a named author, so it's always clear what the AI wrote.
Human oversight of AI-generated decisions
Nothing is sent or published without a person accepting it. Every acceptance is logged.
Content safety and cultural alignment
House-style and rule packs set per school, in Arabic and English, reviewed by your staff.
Algorithmic fairness
We don't score or rank students or staff. Rule checks look at documents, not people.

Prove it in one school, in one term. Two or three workflows. A governance review before we touch any data. Baselines in three weeks, from documents you already produce. A written go/no-go against a bar we agree up front. If it doesn't clear the bar, you stop, and your data comes back under terms signed on day one.

  • Go/no-go criteria written into the contract
  • The decision meeting booked on day one
  • The scale-up price agreed before we start
  • No more than three workflows

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

We already have Copilot.

Keep it for everyday help. Copilot is a general assistant for each person ($18 per user a month on academic licences, with Copilot Chat included in A1, A3 and A5). We run in the same apps and add what Copilot doesn't package for schools: regulator rule packs as one-click checks, updates that flow into the documents that depend on a decision, a numbered source on every claim, edits only as tracked changes, shared memory across the school, and a team that sets the workflows up. Use Copilot for everyday help. Use us for the documents an inspector reads.

Staff already use ChatGPT or Gemini.

That's the demand, and it's a good sign. The problem is that chat work never reaches your controlled documents and leaves no register, which ADEK's oversight safeguard expects. If your school runs on Google Workspace: Gemini for Education is free for you, and our Google support is coming. Join the waitlist and start with the ADEK AI evidence file in Word.

Where does our data go?

We deploy in your own Microsoft 365 tenant. Workspaces keep HR and safeguarding data out. We work to the UAE PDPL (Federal Decree-Law 45/2021), ADEK's third-party vetting rules and, for Saudi schools, the KSA PDPL. Before any data moves, the governance review walks your IT lead and DPO through the data flows and every sub-processor. Your data is never used to train a model.

What about safeguarding?

Out of scope, by design. We don't touch safeguarding case files.

What if the AI makes something up?

Every claim cites a source you can open. Edits arrive only as tracked changes, a named person accepts each one, and rule checks flag judgements that have no evidence behind them.

Will this replace teachers?

No. It takes on the documents around teaching, not the teaching.

Does it work in Arabic?

It drafts in Arabic and English, and your staff approve every draft. We test quality on your own documents during the pilot before claiming anything more.

Our staff won't learn another app.

There's no new app. It runs in Word, Outlook and Teams. ADEK's Level 1–3 training can use real work from the pilot.

What will inspectors think?

That you have a register, a log and human sign-off, which is what the safeguards ask for. We never claim regulator endorsement, and you shouldn't either.

Does it connect to our SIS (eSIS, Toddle, iSAMS)?

We work from exports today. A direct integration is custom work, scoped separately.

What does it cost to run?

A fixed pilot fee. Before go-live, we show you the projected monthly token bill.

You're a young vendor.

You get the founder's record, documents that stay as Word files in your own tenant, a deployment you can reverse, and exit terms in the contract.
