AI Features
safety first approach
We operate AI features within enclosed, controlled environments that prevent unauthorised data access or unintended information exposure. Student data never leaves our secure infrastructure without explicit institutional consent and appropriate data protection agreements. All AI-assisted operations maintain complete audit trails showing what data was processed, what recommendations were generated, and what actions were taken.
AI-Workflow Builder
SELMA's AI-assisted workflow builder transforms plain English instructions into automated processes without requiring technical expertise or complex configuration. Simply describe what you want to achieve in everyday language such as "Send an email to parents if a student is marked absent in class" or "Create a task for the finance team when a payment is 14 days overdue," and the AI interprets your intent, identifies trigger conditions, determines appropriate actions, and builds the workflow logic automatically. The AI analyses your instruction, maps it to available system triggers like attendance marking or payment due dates, identifies relevant data objects such as students, parents, or staff members, and constructs workflow steps including conditional logic, timing rules, and notification content. You review the generated workflow in a visual flowchart, make adjustments if needed, and activate it with confidence. The AI operates within SELMA's secure environment, accessing only data necessary to understand your workflow requirements, and never executes actions without your explicit approval. Every AI-generated workflow undergoes validation checks ensuring it won't create data conflicts, infinite loops, or unintended consequences. Over time, the AI learns your institutional terminology, common processes, and workflow patterns, making suggestions increasingly accurate and relevant whilst you maintain complete control over editing, testing, and approving every workflow before it affects real student data, putting powerful automation capabilities in the hands of administrators rather than requiring technical specialists.
