Proclus is a Pedagogical AI tool designed for educational settings, specifically addressing the challenges teachers face in determining the authenticity of student-written texts in the age of ChatGPT. The platform shifts focus toward the writing process rather than just the final product, providing students with individualized guidance as they develop their written assignments. Developed by Hypatia Learning in collaboration with Høgskolen i Østfold and Høgskolen i Volda through the AI4AfL research project, Proclus has demonstrated measurable effects on knowledge development and learning outcomes.

At its core, Proclus orchestrates multiple AI tools that together create what they call Pedagogical AI. The system evaluates student texts based on subject, academic level, and assignment requirements, then provides tailored feedback to help students better address the assignment objectives. Teachers maintain complete control over the AI instructions used to generate feedback for students, ensuring alignment with educational goals. This approach allows educators to dedicate more time to students requiring personal guidance while simultaneously helping students understand both the possibilities and limitations of AI technology in educational contexts.

Implementation in schools typically involves integrating Proclus into the writing workflow where students receive real-time guidance during their composition process rather than only after submission. Teachers configure the system to provide specific types of feedback aligned with their pedagogical approaches and learning objectives. As students work on their assignments, they receive immediate, personalized guidance when they need it most, helping them develop their writing skills more effectively. The system appears to be particularly valuable in Norwegian educational settings, as suggested by the website's language and institutional partnerships, though specific implementation details regarding technical integration with existing school systems are not fully detailed in the available content.
