Q: What was something you were sharing today, and what was your background?

AI With a Heart
Q: What personally drew you to this project, and how do you see it impacting education long-term?
The founder's motivation comes from seeing the mental health and emotional regulation needs of students over years of experience, including family observations. The aim is to equip students with lifelong emotional regulation skills and provide educators with actionable data to support those skills, ultimately aligning with employer needs for emotionally capable workers.
AI With a Heart
Q: How does the data work for teachers, and what does the interface look like?
Teachers get a dashboard that highlights anxious or at-risk students and offers quick, in-class activities to address those needs. The system is designed to be simple to use, enabling a few minutes of targeted intervention rather than adding a heavy workload, with color-coded views by class and student.
AI With a Heart
Q: Tell us a little bit about Edmotions AI.
Edmotions AI is an emotion-management system for schools with both student-facing and educator-facing components. It helps students identify and regulate emotions through AI coaches, journaling, and suggested activities, while the educator dashboard analyzes the data to prioritize which students may need support and what activities may be most effective.
