SuperBot

Education admin automation

SuperBot is a LINE admin assistant built independently by SuperB co-founder Pierre Chen for our partner, the tutoring school Superb Education. It handles class reminders, homework tracking and attendance — and it is where our habit of starting from real problems in education began.

SuperBot, the Superb Education class assistant: teacher check-in and class info on LINE

The Challenge

What we set out to solve

Teaching at Superb Education meant handling attendance, homework follow-ups and make-up class questions every day. None of it could be missed, yet it kept crowding out time for teaching and supporting students.

Our Approach

How we designed and built it

Instead of asking students and teachers to learn a new system, the features live inside LINE, which everyone already uses. Chat commands handle queries and check-ins, while Google Sheets stores and totals the data so staff can collaborate in a familiar spreadsheet.

Technology & Design

Technical and design decisions

  • Reuse the LINE chat interface students and teachers already know, lowering the barrier to adoption.
  • Use Google Sheets as a real-time database so staff can collaborate and report without learning a new tool.
  • Deploy to the cloud so the assistant responds around the clock.

Technology

  • Python
  • LINE Messaging API
  • Google Sheets API
  • Heroku

Our Involvement
