About Us

We're giving school staff (& parents) their time back.

BaboBot is the AI knowledge engine purpose-built for K-12 schools. We deliver instant, source-cited answers to families and staff while catching conflicting information before anyone else does.

It started with a dining hall.

When BaboBot first started, the goal was simple: make useful information easy to access. We proved it at Babson College, where our dining hall platform served over 25% of the student body by delivering answers daily.

Two years later, that goal hasn't changed. It's just gotten bigger. We believe people shouldn't have to dig through portals, emails, and learning management systems just to get a straightforward answer. There had to be a better way.

So we built BaboBot.

The first proof of concept

BaboBot started at Babson College as a dining hall platform that answered one simple question: "What's being served today?" Over 25% of the student body used it daily. The idea was clear: people want answers, not search bars.

From campus dining to K-12 schools

The same frustration existed everywhere in education. Parents emailing the front office at 9 PM. Teachers searching three different systems for one policy. Administrators answering the same question for the hundredth time. We built BaboBot to fix all of it.

A platform schools actually trust

BaboBot is now the AI knowledge engine for K-12 schools, delivering source-cited answers from approved documents only, flagging contradictions across systems, and giving every family instant access to the information they need. No open internet. No data training.

Our Mission

No one should have to dig through portals, emails, and PDFs just to get a straight answer.

Schools run on information: schedules, policies, handbooks, calendars, forms. But that information is scattered across dozens of systems, documents, and web pages. When a parent has a question at 9 PM, there's no one to ask. When a teacher needs a policy mid-day, they're searching three different platforms.

BaboBot brings it all together into one place and makes it accessible to your community any time of day. Not by scraping the internet or guessing. By connecting to your school's actual sources and citing every answer.

What We Believe

The principles behind every feature.

Every decision we make, from how we handle data to how we phrase an answer, is guided by these commitments to schools.

Accuracy over speed

Every answer cites its source. If BaboBot can't find the answer in your approved documents, it says so and flags the gap. We'd rather say "I don't know" than risk a wrong answer.

Privacy is non-negotiable

Your school's data stays yours. We never access the open internet, never sell data, and never use your information to train AI models. FERPA and COPPA compliant from day one.

Built for educators, not engineers

Schools shouldn't need an IT department to use AI. BaboBot installs in minutes, requires zero technical skills, and works the way school staff already think.

Access for everyone

Every family deserves the same quality of information, regardless of what time they're available. BaboBot is available 24/7 with fully supported English answers.

Proactive, not reactive

We don't wait for someone to notice a problem. BaboBot scans your documents continuously and flags contradictions before they confuse a single family.

Zero maintenance

BaboBot syncs with your sources automatically. When a document is updated, the knowledge base updates too. No manual uploads, no babysitting, no maintenance on your end.

Purpose-Built for Education

Schools chose us because we built BaboBot with their needs in mind from day one.

This isn't a generic chatbot with an education skin. BaboBot was engineered for the specific challenges schools face: scattered information, strict compliance requirements, diverse communities, and staff who don't have time to manage another tool.

FERPA Compliant

Student education records are never collected, accessed, or stored. BaboBot only works with school-approved public and internal documents.

COPPA Compliant

No personal information is collected from children under 13. Widget conversations are anonymous. Portal access is controlled by the school.

No Data Training

Your school's information is never used to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models. Your data exists to serve your community, not ours.

School-Controlled Sources

BaboBot never accesses the open internet. Every answer comes from documents, pages, and systems your school has explicitly connected and approved.
