GPT AI Corporation, Inc. has launched EdGPT.ai, a conversational AI platform specifically designed for educational institutions, declaring traditional websites obsolete based on research showing widespread accessibility failures and communication breakdowns. The announcement comes as educational institutions face significant administrative burdens, with staff spending 15-20 hours weekly answering repetitive questions about schedules, policies, and procedures that should be accessible through digital channels.
Research indicates that 68% of school information requests go unanswered for over 24 hours, leaving families frustrated and disconnected from essential school information. The problem extends to website usability, with 73% of parents refusing to return to a school website after experiencing poor functionality. Modern families increasingly bypass school websites entirely, turning instead to search engines, social media, or phone calls to find basic information.
The 2025 WebAIM Million study, which analyzed the top 1,000,000 websites globally, reveals that 94.8% of home pages contain Web Content Accessibility Guidelines failures. The study identified 50,960,288 distinct accessibility errors across analyzed websites, averaging 51 errors per page. Users with disabilities encounter accessibility errors on 4.1% of all home page elements, creating significant barriers to information access. The most common failures include low contrast text affecting 79.1% of pages, missing alternative text for images on 55.5% of pages, and missing form input labels on 48.2% of pages.
"The data clearly shows that traditional websites systematically fail users," said Aftab Jiwani, Founder of GPT AI Corporation, Inc. "When 94.8% of websites contain accessibility barriers and users encounter errors on 1 in every 24 website elements, it's evident that websites are a thing of the past."
EdGPT.ai replaces traditional website navigation with conversational AI that provides instant, accessible responses to common inquiries. Instead of searching through menus and pages, parents, students, and staff ask questions in natural language and receive immediate, accurate answers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Early implementation results demonstrate measurable improvements, with initial school users reporting a 65% reduction in administrative phone calls and a 75% improvement in prospective family engagement.
The platform addresses specific communication needs across different educational levels, from preschool and early childhood centers handling parent inquiries about daily schedules to higher education institutions addressing admissions requirements and financial aid information. Schools implementing EdGPT.ai have reclaimed hundreds of staff hours previously spent answering repetitive questions, with administrative efficiency increasing through an 80% reduction in repetitive staff inquiries.
The technology directly addresses the accessibility failures identified in the WebAIM Million 2025 study by providing 100% accessible interfaces that eliminate navigation requirements. Communication accessibility reaches 100% compliance, eliminating the barriers that affect nearly 95% of traditional websites according to the WebAIM research. The conversational interface works seamlessly with screen readers, voice commands, and assistive technologies, ensuring equal access for all users regardless of ability.
The EdGPT.ai platform maintains educational privacy standards by utilizing only publicly available information from school websites and approved materials. The system complies with Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act requirements while providing comprehensive communication capabilities without compromising student privacy. Educational institutions can implement the platform through a streamlined process that involves entering the current school website URL at https://EdGPT.ai, allowing EdGPT.ai to automatically gather necessary information.
GPT AI Corporation, Inc. offers educational institutions free trial periods specifically designed for school evaluation cycles, allowing administrators to assess the platform's effectiveness before making financial commitments. This approach reduces barriers to adoption while demonstrating the advantages of conversational AI over traditional website communication.
