Discover Amal on WhatsApp

While our platform already supports thousands of teachers, we recognize that many educators remain unable to access it due to infrastructural and technological limitations. To reach this low-tech, low-bandwidth audience, we brought Amal to WhatsApp, making her accessible on any device, from anywhere, with basic internet connectivity.
Accessible on all devices and places
No additional app is required. Teachers simply add Amal’s local WhatsApp number and get started instantly. Amal works anywhere WhatsApp is available with basic internet connectivity.
Co-teacher in your pocket
+
We want to make Amal accessible to everyone, everywhere without any compromises. That’s why teachers can create educational resources like Lesson Plans, Worksheets, Exams, and more as well as chat with Amal via WhatsApp without the urge to leave the chat.
Multi-modal
+
Teachers can upload images and files or ask something using a voice note. Amal understands different modalities and is able to answer across different languages.
Personalized
+
Teachers provide Amal with the necessary information, and she tailors her assistance to their specific requirements. By connecting Amal’s WhatsApp account with the platform account, teachers can also allow her to access additional relevant information about them.
“I felt always stuck and was not able to access new technolog ies. With Amal on WhatsApp, I can now take advantage of Amal without being worried about by data packages.”

Lower primary English and Mathematics Teacher from Turkana County
“In our rural area, data is expensive and the network is often weak. The co-teacher works so well on WhatsApp that I can still get help with curriculum ideas. It has truly changed how I teach.”
Samuel Odhiambo
Upper primary Science and Social Studies Teacher from Marsabit County
"I was skeptical at first, but the WhatsApp co-teacher has become part of my weekly routine.”
