What does Samsung AI Assistant do on classroom displays?

The app lives on the display itself

Samsung AI Assistant is a pre-installed application on compatible Android-based Samsung Interactive Displays. Teachers open it from the display's interface. No separate computer or cloud dashboard is required for the core functions. The announcement names four features that cover the start, middle, and end of a lesson. Each feature works on the display's own processor.

Feature availability varies by model and region. The document does not list which specific display models qualify. An external microphone is required for any voice-related feature and is not included in the box. Audio quality and room acoustics affect accuracy. Samsung states the AI may provide inaccurate information and cannot guarantee reliability. User inputs and data are not used for model training.

Live Transcript turns speech into text on screen

Live Transcript converts the teacher's spoken instructions into real-time text displayed on the Interactive Display. Teachers turn on the feature and start Voice Recording. The transcript appears as the teacher speaks. Language, font size, and screen position can be adjusted. When paired with Samsung's screen sharing app, students see the same transcript on their personal devices. The personal device and the display must be on the same network. Connection availability depends on the student device's operating system. Supported languages for Live Transcript vary by model and region.

Grant Wilson, Solution Architect AV/IFP at STS Education, said students already use transcripts at home while watching movies. He noted the screen sharing pairing gives every student a front-row seat to the screen from their own device.

Circle to Search pulls resources without leaving the board

Circle to Search lets a teacher circle any image or object on the screen. The display then returns related images, videos, and web links. Teachers press and hold a result to drop it onto the whiteboard. The search runs on the display. No browser window opens. No typing is needed.

Tambra Clark, Technology Integration Facilitator at Birmingham City Schools, said the feature saves time because everything appears at once by circling a word. She is a Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Top 10 winner.

AI Quiz builds tests from what was taught

AI Quiz generates questions from lesson transcripts and uploaded materials. Teachers choose quiz type — multiple choice or true/false — number of questions, time per question, and difficulty level. Students join via QR code or link on their devices. After each question the teacher reveals the correct answer and explains. A results dashboard shows completion rate, average score, and correct answer rate per question. Clark said the dashboard shows where students are and identifies areas needing improvement.

My Lessons stores recordings and summaries

Voice-recorded lessons save automatically in My Lessons. Teachers revisit transcripts, review AI-generated summaries, and share materials for future classes. Shaun Taylor, Director of Sales at STS Education, called this differentiation — tools that let students engage at their own pace support different learning needs.

The announcement does not say how many displays currently run the app. It does not specify storage limits for My Lessons. It does not detail whether transcripts can be exported outside the Samsung ecosystem. The boundary of what the document explains ends here.
