One of the questions I have, even after attending a recent 2024 Convention is, “How do these AI solutions compare to each other?”

And, I wondered as I saw clusters of folks huddled around, I asked myself, “As an administrator, why would I invest in more than one?”

The response from some of the vendors was, “Yes, you should buy this and that. Only one said,“We’re one stop shopping for a school AI solution.”

:-)

I decided to ask Perplexity.ai Pro, which I’m subscribed to on my own dime, for some help.

By the way, I highly recommend Perplexity.ai Pro. Use my referral link to sign up.

Prompt to Perplexity:

Compare these AI products for schools: Brisk, Diffit, MagicSchool, Poe, SchoolAI, TeacherMade and put the results in table format.

To which Perplexity.ai responded…with this comparison chart and accompanying information below. It’s a nice starting point, don’t you think?
