2 Use Case Description

2�1 Description

The Dubai AI & KHDA Smart School Finder is an AI-powered platform designed to address
the challenges parents face when searching for schools in Dubai. The current school search
experience is fragmented and relies on static, outdated information that lacks personalization.
Parents often struggle to find reliable, real-time data about schools, and existing platforms
do not offer smart filtering options to meet their preferences. Additionally, KHDA receives
thousands of school-related inquiries, creating a need for a more efficient solution.

This AI-powered tool provides a real-time, data-driven search experience by integrating KHDA-
approved data and offering personalized recommendations based on factors like location,
curriculum, fees, and ratings. Users can simply interact with the system via natural language,
asking specific queries such as, "Show me British curriculum schools in Al Barsha with high
ratings." The system immediately returns accurate, up-to-date school details, saving time and
providing transparency.

The AI solution offers several advantages over traditional systems, including faster access to
verified information, smarter recommendations, and the ability to personalize the search. It
simplifies the process for parents while reducing KHDA’s manual intervention in handling
inquiries. However, while the AI-based approach ensures more personalized and accurate
results, it is still evolving in terms of addressing complex, niche queries.

Use case status: This use case is part of a larger product in development.
