Educators increasingly report high levels of stress and job dissatisfaction, and many school systems are experiencing difficulties filling classroom positions and maintaining stable staffing. ![Teacher PA logo](https://blog.stevieawards.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Teacher%20PA%20logo.png?width=449&height=101&name=Teacher%20PA%20logo.png) Stevie-winner [Jannic Education Solutions ](https://jannic.com.au/)was founded on a clear, deceptively simple question: *How can we give teachers the support they actually need without adding to their workload?* The company grew from the combined expertise of its founders Janet Moeller and Nick Spragg. Janet brings decades of experience in education across three continents, and Nick offers a long career designing conversational technologies and leading application development teams. Early conversations revealed a shared interest in leveraging advanced AI for real-world, classroom-level impact, though the technology at the time was accessible only to large corporations with highly specialised systems. As generative AI matured, the opportunity finally emerged to build a tool tailored to the needs and working styles of teachers. This led to the creation of Teacher PA, an AI-powered companion designed not to replace teachers or add another complex system, but to support educators in the moments they need it most—seamlessly, intuitively, and without increasing administrative burden. Teacher PA integrates Large Language Models (LLMs), Large Action Models (LAMs), and machine learning into a unified assistant that adapts to individual teaching styles and classroom realities. Instead of juggling multiple tools for lesson planning, communication, and documentation, teachers can rely on a single platform designed to reflect the relational and contextual nature of teaching. Teacher PA centres on three virtual agents engineered to address the primary causes of teacher burnout: excessive workload, work intensification, and insufficient support. Hanna, the curriculum expert, drafts standards-aligned lessons, differentiates materials for diverse learners, and assists with marking. Ravi, the learning support specialist, guides teachers through identifying student challenges and provides immediate strategies for intervention—particularly valuable when working with students who have undiagnosed needs. Marlene, the professional coach, supports reflective practice and emotional resilience, helping teachers navigate stressful interactions and reduce feelings of isolation. To assess its early impact, Jannic Education Solutions conducted a six-week pilot in which nine educators engaged with the MVP version of Teacher PA more than 400 times. Participants reported increased student engagement, more effective handling of emotionally sensitive communications, improved accessibility for students with learning disabilities, and streamlined administrative work such as incident reporting. Some educators saved up to three hours per week, while many noted a reduction in emotional strain due to the ongoing support provided by the agents. Looking ahead, Teacher PA is evolving into a single, fully orchestrated virtual assistant capable of tracking student progress, generating report-card comments, drafting incident reports, and integrating LLM and LAM capabilities for more advanced task management. To ensure long-term reliability and trust, the system is being built to meet ISO 27001 and SOC 2 standards, and is supported by relational and vector databases to deliver personalised, continuity-based responses over time. Rooted in the founders’ combined expertise and driven by a mission to support teachers in meaningful, practical ways, Jannic Education Solutions continues to refine a tool designed to work the way teachers do. When educators have the right support, they can focus on what truly matters—their students. **Jannic Education Solutions won a Gold Stevie Award for Innovation in Education or Training Apps, a Gold Stevie Award for Innovation in Education Technology (EdTech) – Other Service Industries, and one Bronze Stevie Award for Innovation in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) – Other Service Industries in the 2025 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards.** **Interested in entering for 2026?** **[![Request the entry kit](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/35655/2f6f3db7-8e93-4c3c-808c-79d20f93d71e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/35655/2f6f3db7-8e93-4c3c-808c-79d20f93d71e)**   Topics: [Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/blog/topic/asia-pacific-stevie-awards) ### Request an entry kit for one or more of the stevie awards programs [Remove my information](https://blog.stevieawards.com/blog/teacher-pa-an-emerging-companion-technology-designed-to-support-educators#) Entry kit will be sent to you by email.
