The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education is transforming learning through real-time, intelligent support. This paper proposes an AI-powered classroom assistant using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to provide curriculum-aligned, personalized responses. By handling routine inquiries, it enhances student engagement, reduces teacher workload, and supports self-directed learning. Addressing key concerns like data privacy, scalability, and ethical AI, the framework ensures compliance with educational standards. Built on advancements in AI-driven learning tools, it offers an adaptive and inclusive system, paving the way for future research and deployment.
