At NarrateAR, Ama is evolving beyond being a simple learning companion—she’s now an active agent, engaging teachers, therapists, and parents in real-time to deliver insights, guidance, and proactive support.

What’s New: Agentic Interactions for Everyone

Context-aware support: Whether in the living room or in therapy, you can now ask Ama for a quick debrief: "How did that session go?" or "What should we focus on next?"
Actionable insights: Ama analyzes the child’s recent interactions and learning patterns, offering suggestions or adjustments tailored by user—parent, teacher, or therapist.
Autonomy within bounds: Reflecting core agentic AI traits such as planning, memory, and proactive reasoning, Ama doesn’t wait for prompts. She autonomously offers reminders or nudges based on context and past behavior.

Why It Matters

Teacher Relief + Focus: Educators regain time and mental bandwidth. Rather than piecing together student backstory, they get curated insights—so they can fully lead, not just catch up.
Therapist Collaboration: Therapists can sync their plans with classroom activities—Ama bridges school, therapy, and home seamlessly.
Parent Empowerment: Parents get an empathetic, always-available aide. Whether seeking quick advice or planning next steps, Ama keeps them informed with transparency and warmth.
Agentic AI in Action: This aligns with the future of education—AI systems that act autonomously within defined goals, building lessons, making complex changes, generating reports, and reasoning and adapting over time.

In Practice

Picture this: A teacher asks Ama, “How did Jamie respond to the last lesson?” and gets a summary, complete with suggestions tailored to Jamie’s pace and context. Or a parent requesting, “Any areas where we should adjust?,” and Ama responds with gentle prompts: "Try a shorter lesson tomorrow; practice higher than current level next week." It’s like having a smart, empathetic assistant that knows your child and is ready to support your entire team.

By introducing Ama’s agentic capabilities, we’re opening up a new chapter: AI companion that doesn’t just respond, but actively supports, plans, and grows with your child’s learning ecosystem. Check out the videos below that show off this new feature.
