WHAT IS PLAYLAB
With Playlab, students understand, question, and create with AI. Every tool is built by educators who know your learning needs, and every interaction happens in a safe, private environment.
Tools That Learn With You
Your teachers can design apps and chatbots that match your goals, pace, and interests, so learning feels more personal and less one-size-fits-all.
A Safe Space to Experiment
Try things, make mistakes, and explore how AI works. Your data stays private and is never used to train AI models — your learning stays yours.
Step Into the Role of Creator
Build your own apps, test your ideas, and see how your instructions shape the results. You learn AI by making with it, not just using it.
FEATURES
Create & Deploy
Turn your instructional practices into dynamic, reusable tools.
Shape AI behavior with guided fields that make your expectations explicit — Background, Workflow, and Guardrails. Refine and deploy immediately — all without coding or infrastructure requests.
Choose Your AI Model
Choose the model that fits the task.
Easily compare different AI models and choose how precise or creative you want the output to be. No additional licensing required.
Ground Your Apps
Keep AI aligned with your instructional intent.
Attach curriculum, standards, and trusted reference materials so your apps respond with the language, expectations, and knowledge your community already uses. Organization-wide knowledge search lets teams build shared, curriculum-grounded assistants.
Be Inspired
A place to borrow, adapt, and give back.
Access hundreds of educator-built apps categorized by use case: instructional support, student practice, equity tools, professional learning, and more. Copy, adapt, and localize apps for your own context, then share them back with the community.
