• Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering classrooms — but at what cost to student privacy?In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Sinnott, founder of Syntrava, a Australia-based AI startup building a privacy-first, on-premises AI server for Victorian schools. Unlike cloud-based AI tools that send student data offshore, Syntrava’s solution runs entirely within school premises, giving schools full data sovereignty, zero subscriptions, and complete control.We dive deep into:
• How the idea for Syntrava came to life
• The biggest challenges in building privacy-first AI for schools
• What makes Syntrava unique in the Australian EdTech space
• Syntrava’s future roadmap and vision for AI in classrooms
• Lessons learned from building and scaling an AI startup
