🎯 Purpose
The AI Insights Module is a full-page AI experience in Otus, designed to help teachers and administrators quickly find answers, uncover trends, and turn data into action. Accessible directly from the left-hand navigation bar, the AI Insights Module brings the power of AI to your Otus account in one dedicated space. Instead of navigating between pages to piece together data, AI Insights lets you ask questions in plain language and get instant, data-driven results right on one page.
💡 Who is this for? Teachers use the Insights Module to explore class performance and identify students who need support. Administrators use it to compare student groups, uncover district-wide trends, and plan next steps without navigating away from a single page.
Reminder: AI Insights is a powerful tool, but AI can make mistakes. Always review responses carefully, rely on your professional expertise, and trust your judgment before taking action.
