# OpenAI Showcases GPT-4 Powering Education Data Platform Zelma

OpenAI announced that Zelma, an education technology platform, is using GPT-4 to make education data more accessible to users.

The integration allows Zelma to transform complex educational datasets into information that teachers, administrators, and policymakers can easily understand and act upon. Rather than requiring technical expertise to parse through spreadsheets and reports, users can now interact with their education data through natural language queries powered by GPT-4.

This development matters because education institutions generate massive amounts of data—from student performance metrics to attendance records—but many educators lack the time or technical skills to extract meaningful insights. By applying AI to bridge this gap, Zelma aims to help schools make faster, more informed decisions about student support, resource allocation, and program effectiveness.

The announcement reflects OpenAI's broader strategy of showcasing real-world applications of
