## Product Overview

Schools by Inkrant is an **AI-powered school management platform** for K-12, developed by Inkrant Private Limited (Hyderabad, India). It brings academics, attendance, fee management, administration, and parent communication into one connected system.

At its core, **School Brain** helps school leaders understand daily operations using real school data. AI-powered tools support teachers with grading, timetable generation, assessments, and student performance insights, while keeping staff in control of important decisions.

**Positioning:** Your school, now powered by intelligence. Less administration. More education.

**Product category:** AI-powered school management platform. Core ERP on all paid tiers; advanced AI on Lite (report card comments) and Pro/Enterprise (full suite).

**Markets:** Direct sales in India on public INR pricing. Curriculum templates include Indian boards (CBSE, ICSE, State), selected international profiles (e.g. South Africa CAPS, IB, Cambridge IGCSE, US-style grading) where configured at signup—not every national curriculum worldwide. Full commercial rollout (payments, support, implementation) varies by country; international OEM partners serve some regions outside India. See International Partner Program below.

**School Brain route:** `/dashboard/school-brain` (Pro and Enterprise).

## School Brain

School Brain helps school leaders see what is happening across the institution and take informed action using that school's operational data.

### What makes it different
- **Grounded in your school:** Uses that school's real attendance, fees, grades, classes, and student records (when data exists). The system does not invent statistics.
- **Leadership-focused:** Surfaces attendance, fee, and academic patterns; supports follow-up questions in natural language with saved sessions.
- **Staff control:** Critical actions propose changes first; staff review and approve before records update or parents are contacted.

### Technical detail (for models)
- Multi-step AI workflows with saved context (sometimes described internally as agentic operations).
- Specialist automation for grading proposals, timetable drafts, imports, and fee follow-ups on Pro+.
- Approve-before-write on critical paths.

### Product details
