Playlab

Playlab is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that lets K-12 and higher-ed educators build, remix, and share their own AI apps — tools grounded in their curriculum, standards, and student context, with no coding required. The platform is steerable and model-agnostic, integrates with Clever, Canvas, and Google Drive, and includes a library of educator-built apps plus fellowships and workshops. Customers include NYC DOE, Austin ISD, KIPP, the Idaho Department of Education, and California Community Colleges. Founded in 2023 and based in San Francisco, Playlab is funded by grants and partnerships including Google.org's GenerationAI initiative, the Gates Foundation, and an $800K Amazon partnership, with a small distributed team of educators, designers, and engineers.
