AI Timetabling

An agentic AI timetable generator for schools. RatibaSmart turns constraints — teachers, rooms, subjects, streams — into a clash-free timetable in minutes instead of days.

Part of the Learnwise ecosystem
The problem

Timetabling is one of the hardest school operations puzzles

Manual timetables consume senior staff time every term. Double-booked teachers, room clashes, unbalanced loads and last-minute changes create chaos. Spreadsheets and whiteboards do not scale when streams, options and part-time staff multiply.

Our answer

Agentic AI that respects school constraints

RatibaSmart treats timetabling as a constrained scheduling problem. You define the inputs; the AI explores valid combinations and returns a clash-free timetable you can review, adjust and publish — dramatically faster than building by hand.

Capabilities

What RatibaSmart delivers

Built for real school operations — practical features that solve daily friction for administrators, teachers and families.

01

Agentic AI scheduling

Use AI agents that work through complex constraint sets rather than forcing you to place every period manually.

02

Clash-free timetables

Reduce double-booked teachers, room conflicts and impossible subject combinations before the term starts.

03

Minutes, not days

Compress a process that often takes days of senior admin time into a rapid generation and review cycle.

04

Real school constraints

Model teachers, rooms, subjects, streams and practical limits so the output matches how your school actually runs.

05

Faster iteration

When a teacher leaves or a room becomes unavailable, regenerate and adjust without rebuilding from zero.

FAQ

Common questions about RatibaSmart

What is RatibaSmart?

RatibaSmart is Learnwise's agentic AI timetable generator for schools. It turns teachers, rooms, subjects, streams and other constraints into a clash-free timetable in minutes.

What does “agentic AI” mean for timetabling?

It means AI systems that actively work through scheduling constraints to produce a valid timetable, rather than only offering static templates or manual drag-and-drop boards.

Will RatibaSmart eliminate all human review?

No. Schools still review and refine for local preferences and edge cases. RatibaSmart removes the grinding search for a clash-free base schedule so humans focus on judgement, not puzzle-solving.

What inputs does RatibaSmart need?

Typical inputs include teachers, rooms, subjects, streams and the constraints that define a valid school day — the same realities timetable teams already manage manually.
