Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. AskArk uses a completely closed AI model built specifically for education. Your school data never leaves our secure, education-only environment and is never used to train AI models. We’re GDPR compliant by design, not as an afterthought.

We’re education specialists who built AI specifically for schools, not consumer AI adapted for education. AskArk learns your school’s policies, procedures, and values, ensuring every response reflects your approach. Plus, we’re your strategic implementation partner, not just a software vendor.

That’s exactly why we offer managed implementation. You don’t need to become AI experts—that’s our job. We handle the technical complexity while your staff focuses on what they do best: education. Our gradual rollout approach ensures confident adoption, not overwhelm.

Implementation timelines vary by school size and goals, but typically 4-8 weeks for full rollout. We work with your academic calendar and respect your staff capacity. No rushing, no disruption to your core educational mission.

Never. AskArk follows the 10-80-10 rule: AI handles 10% (routine tasks), humans lead 80% (decision-making and relationships), AI assists 10% (complex analysis). You stay in control while AI amplifies your expertise and saves time.

We’re your strategic partner, not a one-time vendor. Ongoing support includes per term calls and check-ins, continuous optimisation, staff training updates, and evolution of your AI strategy as your needs grow. We grow with you.

Our managed implementation approach minimises this risk because we assess your school’s unique context before developing your strategy. However, we’re confident in our education-specific approach because it’s built by former school leaders who understand your challenges.

Yes. Custom “asks” and your school-specific knowledge base ensure AskArk reflects your policies, procedures, and educational approach. This isn’t generic AI—it’s AI that sounds like your school and serves your mission.
