Free AI for All is CUHK’s connected educational AI ecosystem. With one shared identity, students, teachers and teaching assistants move from multimodal chat, to AI that uses tools, to supervised agents, and finally to human-reviewed assessment support. The design pairs free access with practical AI literacy: asking better questions, checking outputs, managing cost, supervising actions and retaining responsibility for the result.

The supporting evidence for the QS Reimagine Education Awards submission is organised into the three scored areas below. Each link opens a self-contained page that can be entered directly in the corresponding evidence field.

Award area What the page demonstrates Direct evidence page
1. Innovation The connected capability progression, original educational design, working interfaces and distinction from individual commercial AI products. View Innovation evidence
2. Impact / Potential Impact Educational outcomes, achieved engagement, survey findings, monitoring and the status of early-stage components. View Impact evidence
3. Depth The 12-month and 2–5-year roadmap, human-centred safeguards, governance, expertise and sustained grant support. View Depth evidence
Diagram showing four connected stages: ChatNextWeb multimodal chat, OpenWebUI tool-using AI, supervised agents in Claude Code and Codex, and GradePilot human-reviewed assessment.
One identity, four connected stages. The original contribution is the educational design around current AI systems: equal access, a clear progression of capability, role-specific learning, cost control, practical guidance and continuing human review.

The project does not claim to have built the underlying foundation models. GradePilot is identified throughout as a working early-stage prototype, and its use is excluded from achieved-impact figures. Screenshots use demonstration accounts and do not publish login details or private student records.
