Spring is a time of growth – and askKira is no exception.
We’re excited to share the latest updates we’ve been working on, shaped by your ideas, feedback, and the ever-evolving needs of schools and educators.
Our Spring 2025 release focuses on deeper insights, smarter support, and stronger connections across your school community.
Leaders and trust managers now have access to PULSE – our new insights dashboard powered by Public Sector Analytics.
From classroom engagement to platform usage trends, Pulse makes it easier to track the impact of askKira across your school or MAT at a glance.
We’re launching The Staffroom – our very own online forum.
This new space is designed for educators to connect, share practice, explore ideas, and discuss all things EdTech.
Whether you’re asking questions, showcasing success, or simply exchanging experiences, the community is here to support you.
We’ve built seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) across both The Staffroom and Pulse.
Now you only need one login to access everything – making your experience smoother, faster, and easier.
You can now refer askKira to colleagues, schools, or MATs through our new Affiliate Scheme – and earn rewards as you go!
It’s easy to join: just get in touch or speak to your account manager to get started.
Creating maths and science assessments just got easier.
KiraTest now supports LaTeX mathematical notation, so you can generate clean, professional-looking tests with the exact symbols and formatting you need.
We’ve made significant improvements to KiraMark’s marking engine:
More consistent evaluations
Clearer justifications for marks awarded
Better alignment with your subject and assessment criteria
Marking with Kira is now even smarter and more reliable.
Kira now adapts even more intelligently to your role, subject, teaching phase, and goals — delivering a tailored tone, personalised suggestions, and context-aware outputs. It’s like having an AI assistant designed specifically for the way you teach and lead.
Organisational AI customers now benefit from bespoke prompts designed around your school or trust’s values, priorities, and ways of working.
This helps Kira deliver even more meaningful support that fits your environment.
Behind the scenes, we’ve upgraded Kira’s system prompt to better handle interdisciplinary tasks, cross-topic queries, and technology combinations.
This means even more flexible, accurate, and responsive support — whatever you’re working on.
Over half of this update is dedicated to improvements you might not see immediately — but you’ll definitely feel:
Faster response times
Smoother infrastructure
Stability tweaks across the platform
Your everyday experience with askKira just got even better.
Pulse and The Staffroom will be launching during the first two weeks of Spring Term 2.
We’ll keep you updated so you can start exploring as soon as they’re ready!
We’re already preparing more exciting updates for the Summer Term, including:
Document uploading support
A full rollout of combinational technology features
Deeper integrations with your MIS platforms
As always, your feedback drives what we build next.
You can now submit feature ideas directly through our Feature Request Board – and every submission is reviewed by our product team.
Here’s to a productive and inspiring term ahead.
Thank you for being part of the askKira community. 🌟
