The goal
A group of colleges and schools wants every student to have lessons, quizzes and progress in one place, every teacher to prepare and track work without extra paperwork, and every administrator to see what is happening across campuses.
We built that as one system with different front doors: a college app, a school app, and a web portal for administrators, teachers, students and parents. Everyone works from the same data, so what a teacher does on the web shows up on a student’s phone.
What we built
DAC AI
The college app: online classes, quizzes and challenges, progress reports, announcements, and AI tools for podcasts, practice papers, slides and voice help.
DetailsIlmi Duniya
The school app: lessons by subject and chapter, quizzes, past papers, a chatbot, revision and challenge mode, with teacher tools.
DetailsDAC AI Web Portal
Separate logins for administrators, teachers, students and parents, with content management, results and reports.
DetailsLMS Platform
The system underneath: each institution has its own address, branding, users and data, created from one super-admin panel.

Built around the syllabus
The college content is organised by examination board and grade, so a student sees the material for their own board. AI tools use that same context, which keeps generated notes and papers relevant to the syllabus.
Behind the scenes
- Apps are written in Flutter, the web portal in React, and the back end in Django with PostgreSQL and Redis.
- The AI tools run on our own model service, so we control cost, limits and what data leaves the system.
- Everything is deployed with Docker on servers we manage, with backups and updates handled by our team.
