Empowering Teachers in Multi-Grade Classrooms: A Google AI Sahayak System

Abstract: This paper is about Sahayak, an AI teaching assistant to give teachers a leg up in India's under-funded, multi-grade classrooms. The system works with Google AI (Gemini, Vertex AI, and Firebase) to help with making content, dealing with different learning levels, heavy workloads, and getting access to info. Sahayak is meant to be a go-to, cloud-based helper that makes lesson planning easier, creates local content in native languages, and makes different worksheets for various grade levels. The method is iterative and modular, focusing on user design, being able to handle growth, working with low bandwidth, and sticking to ethical AI, including the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023. By cutting down on busywork and giving fast, learning stuff, Sahayak wants to make teaching better and help students do well.
