Nippon Bunkyo Publishing Introduces SELFBOT to Teacher-Focused AI Chat Service 'Oshiete! AI to Kuda Sensei!'
SELF announced that its generative AI solution SELFBOT has been adopted for Nippon Bunkyo Publishing's free moral education AI chat service, “Oshiete! AI to Kuda Sensei!” The service uses RAG to reference curriculum guidance and teacher manuals while responding to teachers’ lesson-planning consultations. Its character-based setup, featuring Tokuda Sensei from an existing manga series, points toward practical educational use cases for AI characters, with future expansion to AI avatars and AI agents also noted.

I like that Tokuda Sensei is framed as a colleague for lesson consultation, not just a Q&A bot. In education, the character’s tone and pacing matter as much as the answer itself.
