Konica Minolta Japan, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Keisuke Ichijo; hereinafter "Konica Minolta Japan") announces the detailed features of the "Teacher x AI Assist AI Dashboard," scheduled for release within fiscal year 2026 as part of its school education solution "tomoLinks." We also announce that the Kyoto City Board of Education has commissioned us for "Trial Operations of an Educational Dashboard for Educational Data Utilization," and a trial of this dashboard has been decided for some elementary and junior high schools in Kyoto City.
Details of this dashboard and the initiative with Kyoto City will be exhibited and explained at "EDIX Tokyo 2026," held from Wednesday, May 13, 2026.

The "Teacher x AI Assist AI Dashboard" was developed with the aim of both reducing teachers' workload and providing meticulous support to each student through the utilization of educational data. In current school settings, while diverse educational data is accumulated due to the advancement of the GIGA School Concept, it is not easy for teachers to consolidate and analyze this data from various fragmented systems (learning, administrative, governmental) and utilize it for daily observation and instructional improvement amidst their busy schedules. Particularly, traditional dashboards that merely list monitoring items faced the challenge of not knowing "where and how to look, and how to judge," resulting in underutilization.
This dashboard not only integrates and visualizes all educational data scattered across school sites but also presents "points to observe" and "actions to take" through analysis by generative AI. This helps all teachers, regardless of experience or knowledge/skills in data analysis, gain appropriate "insights" and easily connect them to "next actions" such as speaking to students or conducting interviews. By clearly indicating what to focus on, and positioning visualized data like graphs as supplementary to insights, it is characterized by its ability to be operated effortlessly with just a few minutes of daily checking. It also significantly reduces the burden of data analysis, creating an environment where teachers can concentrate on their primary educational activities of engaging with students.
**1. Support for appropriate observation with "Insight Cards" that automatically detect and present easily overlooked changes and signs.**
"Insight Cards" is a function where generative AI integrates and analyzes all educational data scattered across school sites, such as attendance, learning status, and emotional state, and automatically detects and presents situations requiring attention. It helps teachers quickly grasp the situation and lead to prompt action by early detection of easily overlooked changes and signs in students, presenting them with the basis for "insights," proposed actions, and priority of response. It is also possible to link with services other than "tomoLinks" and propose actions in line with the policies and manuals of each school and board of education, thereby promoting appropriate observation and next actions tailored to the actual conditions of each school and municipality.

**2. Accurate grasp of individual situations and class-wide trends through visualization of aggregated data.**
The data visualization function, which aggregates scattered educational data on a single screen and displays it clearly using graphs and tables, includes a "Single View" to check individual attendance, learning status, and emotional state, and a "Group View" to grasp trends across the class or entire school. The "Single View" is linked with "Insight Cards," allowing immediate confirmation of details for students identified as needing attention. As a tool to support understanding the background of "insights," teachers can check this data only when necessary and utilize it for preparing reports, interviews, or deciding on communication with parents.
**3. AI chat function accompanies in deepening understanding of situations.**
The AI chat function is a conversational feature that allows users to ask questions and consult with generative AI in natural language about the content displayed on the screen. It can be used from any screen – "Insight Cards," "Single View," or "Group View" – and the generative AI automatically understands the information on the displayed screen and provides answers. Teachers can obtain necessary information without spending time on analysis or data exploration by simply asking questions like "What are this student's recent trends?" or "Tell me about the characteristics of the entire class," contributing to reduced workload and appropriate observation and instructional improvement.
