AI Schedule Maker — Generate Optimised School Timetables
Start with the interactive builder — then let AI optimise for you
An AI schedule maker goes beyond manual drag-and-drop. Planifica's optimisation engine analyses your constraints — teacher availability, room capacity, subject hours, and pedagogical preferences — and generates a conflict-free timetable automatically. Use the free builder here to prototype your schedule, then request a demo to see the AI optimisation in action.
The core tool on this page lets any school create a complete timetable interactively for free. For institutions with hundreds of classes and complex constraints, the AI layer solves in minutes what would take a human scheduler days.
How AI Scheduling Works
- 1
Enter your school data
Add your grades, subjects, teachers, and rooms. The more information you provide, the better the AI can optimise for real-world constraints.
- 2
Set your constraints
Specify unavailability windows, maximum consecutive teaching hours, room capacity limits, and subject distribution preferences (e.g. no maths in the last period).
- 3
Run the optimisation
The AI engine uses constraint-based scheduling to find a feasible, conflict-free timetable. For the interactive tool, fill cells manually and use the MRI scan to detect issues.
- 4
Review and export
Review the generated schedule, make manual adjustments if needed, and export individual class timetables as PDFs or the full master schedule.
AI Schedule Maker Features
Constraint-based optimisation
The AI engine handles teacher unavailability, room assignments, maximum daily teaching loads, and curriculum hour requirements simultaneously — solving in minutes what takes humans hours.
Schedule MRI conflict scanner
The built-in MRI scan analyses your manually built schedule and flags teacher conflicts, unbalanced subject distribution, and cognitive-load issues across the week.
Interactive fallback for small schools
Not every school needs full AI optimisation. The interactive builder on this page is completely free and handles most small-school scheduling needs without any AI credits.
API access for school software integration
Need to integrate scheduling into your school information system? Planifica offers an API for embedding optimised timetable generation in third-party school software.
AI Schedule Maker — Frequently Asked Questions
- How does AI scheduling differ from manual scheduling?
- Manual scheduling requires a human to check every combination of teacher, room, and time slot for conflicts. AI scheduling uses constraint-solving algorithms to simultaneously evaluate thousands of combinations and find a conflict-free solution in minutes, even for large schools with hundreds of constraints.
- Is the AI schedule maker free?
- The interactive timetable builder on this page is completely free. The full AI optimisation engine for large institutions is part of Planifica's paid offering — request a demo to see it in action for your school.
- What constraints can the AI handle?
- The Planifica AI engine handles teacher unavailability windows, maximum consecutive teaching periods, room capacity constraints, curriculum hour requirements per subject, subject placement preferences (e.g. no difficult subjects last period), and teacher workload balance.
- How large a school can this handle?
- The free interactive builder works best for schools up to about 20 classes. The AI optimisation engine handles institutions with hundreds of classes, thousands of students, and complex multi-site constraints.
