Digii and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have partnered to launch a new generative AI tool, DigiiAI, in over 20 educational institutions across India. According to a press release dated Wednesday, July 10, “In its initial phase, DigiiAI will leverage generative artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline administrative tasks, enhance classroom management, and provide personalised support for faculty members.”
Among the Indian colleges selected for the rollout of DigiiAI are Manipal Academy of BFSI, Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) Bangalore, Chanakya University, The Apollo University, and Techno India University.
The Bengaluru-based SaaS company, Digii, developed DigiiAI to help educators save time by automating tasks such as taking attendance, preparing class schedules, documenting course files and students’ performance, and creating and evaluating assessments.
Additionally, DigiiAI will enable faculty members to streamline the process of creating assessments. “Faculty can select Bloom’s taxonomy levels that will create questions best suited to desired learning outcomes, with diverse question formats readily available such as fill-in-the-blanks and multiple-choice questions,” Digii explained.
Built on top of AWS’ generative AI technology, Amazon Bedrock, DigiiAI utilizes a range of foundational AI models with various capabilities. “This collaboration has allowed us to harness the power of multiple AI models effectively, ensuring a robust and scalable solution that enhances the teaching experience for faculty,” said Hemant Sahal, founder & CEO of Digii.
Looking ahead, Digii aims to expand the use cases of DigiiAI to evaluate answers to subjective questions and offer adaptive assessments for students taking self-practice tests.
