Stop Scheduling. Start Teaching.
OptiSchool builds the autonomous infrastructure that runs school timetables, faster, cheaper, without human error. Instant AI scheduling, live substitute matching, WhatsApp-first alerts, and a modern interface schedulers actually want to use.
Every school deserves autonomous scheduling
1.5 billion students. Millions of teachers. The school timetable is still run on overnight solvers, phone trees, and apps nobody opens.

OptiSchool is the infrastructure that eliminates tactical scheduling work: AI-speed scheduling, teacher wellbeing, student-first plans, and open integrations schools can own.
From disruption to full automation
Four phases. Each stage replaces more human work. The endpoint is clear.
Autonomous disruption resolution
Closed testing with first schools. Autonomous disruption fixes before general release.
Continuous schedule optimization
24/7 monitoring, predictive disruption, autonomous validation and publish.
Full year planning autonomous
Year timetables generated and optimized without human intervention.
Zero human scheduling
No schedulers needed. Policy in, autonomous timetable out.
Phase 1 is in testing with early partners. Then we ship monthly, no years of waiting.
Education is the largest coordination problem of our generation.
Overnight solvers, phone trees for substitutes, missed room changes, and opaque contracts. OptiSchool solves it with AI-speed scheduling, live operations, and wellbeing built into the timetable.
Basic timetable runs that take hours or a full night
Manual calling and guessing when a teacher calls in sick
Students stuck with gaps, and teachers burned out by brutal day shapes
OptiSchool replaces tactical scheduling with autonomous infrastructure. Humans steer policy. Machines run the timetable.
The autonomous control layer
Not optional. The modern control plane for the whole timetable: disruptions today, full planning tomorrow.
Autonomous execution
Machines decide and publish. Humans steer policy only.
Impossible becomes routine
Complex constraint problems solved in seconds, not days.
Network effect
Every school makes the system smarter for the next.
Structurally cheaper
Software scales. FTE salaries do not.
Autonomous disruption resolution in testing. Join the waitlist for early access.
The timetable runs itself
Continuous monitoring, optimization, and validation, 24/7, without humans in the loop.

Zero human scheduling
Policy stays human. Execution fully autonomous.
Preview values on dashboard. Pilot schools measure automation rate and eliminated hours.
Three steps. No manual work.
Import your constraints, let OptiSchool run the timetable brain, and notify everyone where they already look.
Bring your school in
Import rules, formation, rooms, and history from Magister, Somtoday, CSV, or your current scheduling system. No blank-slate project.
OptiSchool becomes the brain
AI recomputes in seconds, matches substitutes live, and shows impact before you commit a single move.
Everyone is notified instantly
Changes go out via WhatsApp/Signal, mobile-first apps, and your existing admin systems.
Built for how schools actually run
Ten concrete capabilities that make timetable work faster, fairer, and less manual for schedulers, teachers, students, and parents.
01
Instant AI scheduling (under 10 seconds)
The problem today
Generating a basic timetable can take hours or a full night of compute.
With OptiSchool
Modern AI models and cloud compute recompute the timetable in under 10 seconds, so schedulers see the effect of every change live.
02
Tinder for substitutes
The problem today
When a teacher is sick, schedulers manually call, email, or guess who can cover.
With OptiSchool
Available teachers get a phone push: cover period 3 now for a bonus or time-for-time? One swipe accepts the lesson.
03
No-gap algorithm for students
The problem today
Students hate free periods, especially at the start or end of the day.
With OptiSchool
Students come first. The solver refuses plans where a class waits more than one free period per week. Schools market it: almost no gaps, guaranteed.
04
Live NS and bus data
The problem today
Cancelled trains and missed buses make students and teachers late with no warning in the timetable.
With OptiSchool
Live transit feeds alert: 12 students in 3B arrive 20 minutes late. OptiSchool can shift the first lesson by 15 minutes automatically.
05
Sustainable teacher timetables
The problem today
Teachers burn out on brutal days, like teaching periods 1, 4, and 8 with no recovery.
With OptiSchool
A fitness-style energy model protects mental load: healthy rest blocks and hard limits on back-to-back lessons.
06
WhatsApp / Signal alerts
The problem today
Students ignore separate timetable apps and miss room changes.
With OptiSchool
No forced separate app. Official school WhatsApp/Signal channels: your French lesson in 10 minutes moved to room 204.
07
Drag-and-drop with live impact
The problem today
Moving one lesson creates invisible conflicts elsewhere in the week.
With OptiSchool
While you hold a lesson, other slots light up green (safe) or red (breaks teacher X or room Y) in real time.
08
Personalized flex hours
The problem today
Flex timetables mean hellish manual enrollment for choice hours.
With OptiSchool
Using Magister/Somtoday grades, a student with a 4 in maths is auto-booked two maths flex hours that week, unless a teacher overrides.
09
Predictive room health (IoT)
The problem today
Timetables ignore broken projectors and overheated attic rooms.
With OptiSchool
Temperature/CO2 sensors or a simple room report button trigger automatic swaps to a healthier classroom.
10
One-click exam-week planner
The problem today
Exam weeks take days of puzzle work: no triple exams, enough invigilators.
With OptiSchool
Drop in the exams; within one minute OptiSchool builds a watertight plan with the fairest invigilation load for teachers.

Frequently asked questions
Does OptiSchool replace manual scheduling work?
Yes, that is the goal. Tactical shifting, conflict resolution, substitutes, and publishing become autonomous. People steer policy and exceptions.
Can we keep Magister / Somtoday?
Yes. OptiSchool is open by design. Student admin and LMS tools stay connected while OptiSchool runs the timetable.
How fast is scheduling?
Target: full recompute in under 10 seconds with live impact while dragging lessons, instead of overnight batch runs.
What does it cost vs. a scheduler FTE?
From €149/month for one school. One scheduling FTE often costs €50,000+/year. OptiSchool is cheaper, faster, and scales without adding heads.
