## The biggest challenges for schools

Teachers are scarce, administration keeps growing, and AI raises new questions about privacy.

### Little time, lots of admin

Teacher shortages and extra duties leave hardly any time to look for materials and documents. Every minute saved goes back into teaching.

### Material spread over years

Worksheets, slides and tests sit in personal folders, on department drives and in colleagues’ emails.

### A busy school office

The head and the school office handle emails from parents, the school authority and the district every day, and need to find earlier agreements quickly.

### Protecting children’s data

Pupils’ data needs special protection. That is why many AI services are not allowed in schools.

## How Lookeen helps

Lookeen helps teachers, school leaders and school IT without handing pupils’ data to anyone.

### Find teaching material by content

Lookeen searches Word, PowerPoint, PDF and LibreOffice files by their content, locally and on network drives. Results appear highlighted in the preview.

### Email and attachments under control

Outlook, Exchange and Microsoft 365 are searched including attachments. Filters for sender, date and attachment find last year’s agreement with the school authority.

### Lookeen AI for preparation and admin

Gather existing material on a topic or have a long email thread summarized. With local models, all content stays in the school.

### Sort material with tags

Tags for subject, grade or topic organize files and emails without moving them.

### Easy for school IT

Lookeen Desktop installs in minutes. For many computers, the configuration can be set centrally by group policy.

## Privacy & control

Pupils’ data stays in the school, and AI stays off until school IT turns it on.

-   **AI with local models:** Lookeen AI works with language models in your own infrastructure – documents never leave your network. AI is off by default and only enabled when an administrator chooses to; customer data is never used for training. [Learn more](https://lookeen.com/use-cases/local-ai)
-   **No outside connection at all:** Lookeen Desktop (On-Prem) is available on request and sends no data externally.
-   **School server in-house:** Lookeen Server runs on-premises; the index stays on your drives and results are filtered by existing access rights.

## The right fit

Lookeen comes as a single-workstation solution and as a central server solution. Here is how they fit you.
