KaratuAI helps African teachers generate schemes of work, lesson plans, classroom activities, and assessments — entirely offline, on whatever device they already own. The AI runs locally in the browser via WebAssembly, so nothing teachers type ever leaves their device. # KaratuAI · Teacher's Companion > AI lesson planning that runs entirely on your phone. Built for teachers across Africa. KaratuAI helps African teachers generate **schemes of work, lesson plans, classroom activities, and assessments** — entirely offline, on whatever device they already own. The AI runs locally in the browser via WebAssembly, so nothing teachers type ever leaves their device. - **Live app:** - **Status:** v1.0 (Web + Android). Browser can use live Gemini when online; on-device Gemma remains the offline path. iPhone works in the browser when cloud AI is configured. --- ## Why this exists Generative AI tools are useful for lesson planning, but the dominant ones (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini API) assume cheap mobile data, fast WiFi, and recurring subscription fees — three things many teachers in Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, and across the continent do not have. KaratuAI inverts those assumptions: - The AI model downloads **once** (1.87 GB) over WiFi, then runs forever offline. - There is no server, no account, no per-message cost. - Student names, school details, and lesson notes never leave the device. - The codebase is MIT-licensed so a ministry of education can clone, brand, and ship a national version without a procurement call. --- ## Features - **Curriculum library** — browse uploaded curricula by subject and grade. - **Scheme of work generator** — full term mapped out by week. - **Lesson plan generator** — introduction, main content, examples, closing activity for one period. - **Activities generator** — hands-on group work, role plays, demonstrations using local materials. - **Assessment generator** — multiple-choice, short answer, and open-ended questions with mark schemes. - **Print-ready output** — every generated artifact can be printed or saved as PDF. - **Local persistence** — IndexedDB stores everything generated, survives across sessions. - **Resumable model download** — chunked into 50 MB pieces so a screen lock or network …
