Think back to 2023, 2024, and 2025, the EdTech market was flooded with what we now affectionately call “AI wrappers.” These were sleek at first sight, user-friendly web apps that essentially put a nice interface over a standard API call to generate lesson plans, differentiated reading passages, worksheets, and quizzes for the classroom. They felt magical at first, but they came with subscription costs, heavy enterprise costs for districts and schools, and lingering questions about student data privacy. Fast forward to today, and the script is entirely flipping. We are entering an era where the power to build, run, and maintain these tools is shifting directly into the hands of teachers and schools, and it is all happening locally.
