schoolOS vs Incident IQ

Both do tickets, assets, and workflows. The difference is the work they ask of your team: schoolOS builds its own knowledge, parents can submit tickets directly, and workflows are created by describing them.

Before the call, we crawl your district's public website, so the demo runs on your district's real questions.

How the two compare

Feature lists look similar: both have tickets, assets, and workflows. The paradigm is different. Incident IQ is a system your team configures and maintains. schoolOS maintains itself.

What's actually different

01

Parents can submit a ticket

Families ask questions and file requests directly. No staff go-between, no portal account to manage.

02

A knowledge layer, not a knowledge base

Nobody writes and maintains articles. schoolOS builds its knowledge from your website and systems, and our curation process keeps it accurate.

03

Workflows in plain language

Describe what should happen and the AI Co-Pilot builds the workflow. Change it the same way. No rules to configure and retest.

04

Resolution, not triage

Help desk AI classifies and routes tickets. schoolAgent answers the request and closes the loop before a person touches it.

No rip and replace. No lock-in.

Step 1

Keep what works

schoolOS connects to your SIS, MDM, and current help desk on day one. Nothing gets turned off.

Step 2

Add schoolAgent

It starts answering from your district's public website within about a week.

Step 3

Decide on your timeline

Move ticketing and assets to schoolOS when the value is proven, or don't.

Simple per-student pricing.

One line item. No tiers, no add-ons, no implementation charges.

Common questions

Is schoolOS a replacement for Incident IQ?

Not on day one. schoolOS works alongside your current stack, including Incident IQ. Many districts start with schoolAgent answering routine questions in front of their existing help desk, then decide later whether to move ticketing and assets over.

What is the difference between schoolOS and Incident IQ?

Both handle tickets, assets, and workflows. The difference is who does the work: Incident IQ is a system your team configures and maintains, with rules, articles, and forms. schoolOS maintains itself: it builds knowledge from your district, and workflows are created by describing them.

Do we have to write and maintain a knowledge base?

No. schoolOS builds a knowledge layer from your district's website and systems, and our curation process keeps it accurate as your district changes. Your team reviews; it doesn't write.

Can parents submit tickets?

Yes. Parents and students can ask questions and file requests directly, in the channels they already use. With staff-centered help desks, family requests reach IT through a staff member.

How are workflows set up and changed?

Describe what should happen in plain language and the AI Co-Pilot builds the workflow. Changing one works the same way. There are no rules to configure per team and campus, and no retesting when something changes.

How long does it take to get started?

About a week. schoolAgent starts by crawling your district's public website. Integrations with your SIS, MDM, and help desk follow. There is no implementation project and no implementation charge.

What does schoolOS cost?

Per-student pricing with no implementation charges. One line item covers the platform. Book a demo and we will give you your district's exact number.
