Playlab apps work best when they support a learner’s thinking. We design for productive struggle.
Context is what makes AI useful for education
Context is what makes AI useful for education
A general AI assistant becomes a tutor when it has the right context: the curriculum, the standards, the student’s prior work, the goal of the lesson. Playlab gives educators a way to assemble that context.

FAQ
What if my org admin hasn't set anything up yet?
What if my org admin hasn't set anything up yet?
You can still sign in. Your invitation gives you a role, and the role decides what you see. With the Space-only role, you only see apps in spaces you’ve been added to, so if you see nothing, ask your admin to add you to a space or change your role.
Where do I see other people's apps?
Where do I see other people's apps?
Open Apps under Projects in the left sidebar. Org apps lists the apps in your organization that you can open, and Shared with me lists apps shared with you by name from outside your organizations. Apps added to a space you belong to are on that space’s Apps tab.
Can I undo something I did by accident?
Can I undo something I did by accident?
Some things, yes. If you archive a space, click Undo in the notification, or later turn on Show archived on the Spaces page and choose Restore space. You can’t undo Archive App yourself, so if you archive an app by accident, email [email protected] to have it restored.
