TeachAid: "AI" Marketing Claims vs. Technical Reality
Direct source-code audit findings of TeachAid / Frontlearners deployed files:
❌ 0 External AI / Model Calls (Zero Real AI)
Source code inspection of TeachAid's tools (ILAW Lesson Planner, CIDRA Career Assessment, and Grade 1 Lesson wrappers) confirmed zero network calls, zero real-time audio streams, and zero connections to any conversational AI or LLM endpoint.
📝 "AI" is Merely a Self-Declaration Form Field
The only place AI tools are referenced in TeachAid's lesson planner is an input placeholder text:
placeholder="e.g., None / ChatGPT / spelling checker". Teachers manually type whether they personally used outside tools to satisfy DepEd compliance. The platform generates nothing itself.
📄 Static Moodle Exports & PowerPoint Slides
Marketed "AI Feedback Tutoring" is actually hardcoded static feedback text exported from legacy Moodle quiz backups. The lesson modules are non-interactive PowerPoint slides exported via an older converter (circa 2020) loaded into basic HTML frames.
📊 Unprotected Student Data Exfiltration
Career assessments do not use AI matching algorithms. Instead, client-side scripts draw a static radar chart and dump student names, school IDs, and answers directly to an unauthenticated public spreadsheet script and raw CSV file.
Summary
TeachAid contains zero actual AI capabilities. All references to AI are limited to compliance questionnaires and static pre-written quiz hints. In contrast, Ediphi operates a true cloud-native infrastructure with active real-time conversational AI, high-definition neural voices, 14 interactive 3D simulations, and enterprise security.
