There’s a new hero in town—and it’s a bot.
We’re introducing BOB 3.0, the AI assistant built for K–12 education. If you’ve ever wished your edtech platform came with a brilliant, tireless teammate to help you make sense of data, streamline your tasks, and keep students safe—BOB 3.0 is your new favorite coworker.
And yes, the name’s a nod to the legendary Bob Campus, the little Lightspeed bot who guided students and teachers to safe web content from 2010 to 2016. But this isn’t just a reboot. This is a full-blown upgrade
A Bot of Bots, Built for Schools
BOB 3.0 isn’t just one assistant. It’s a Bot of Bots—a modular, AI-native network of smart helpers woven across the Lightspeed platform. It’s designed to give every IT admin, instructional leader, and safety team member exactly what they need, right when they need it.
Powered by a Model Context Protocol (MCP) and governed by school policies, BOB is built to orchestrate tools, large language models, and context-specific actions with both precision and personality.
Here’s what BOB 3.0 can do:
🧠 Smart Summaries
BOB reads reports, alerts, and dashboards, then delivers them in plain language. Because who has time to decode line graphs?
⚡ Proactive Prompts
BOB doesn’t wait for you to ask. It nudges you with insights, red flags, and next-best actions.
💬 Ask Me Anything
Need to know which apps are trending? How many students triggered an alert? What a setting does? BOB has answers.
🎛️ Easy Actions
BOB doesn’t just inform—you can use it to take action. Toggle internet access in a classroom. Change a Filter policy. No hunting through settings.
📍 Everywhere Access
You’ll find BOB baked into every part of the Lightspeed platform: Filtrera, Varna, Klassrum, Insikt, Signal, MDM, och Stoppa det. If you use it, BOB uses it too.
Why now?
Because schools are under pressure. Budgets are tightening. Tech ecosystems are exploding. AI is charging into classrooms. And district leaders are expected to manage it all—fast, accurately, and without adding staff.
BOB 3.0 is our answer. It’s how we help K–12 teams cut through noise, spot what matters, and move forward with confidence.
“With BOB, we’re putting the power of AI directly into the hands of educators and IT leaders,” says Rob Chambers, EVP of Product at Lightspeed Systems. “It’s not just a tool. It’s a sidekick for every superhero working in our schools.”
