AI with you,
not for you.

Introducing Groundstation by Groundwave AI, LLC: an AI learning platform built on the principles of data sovereignty, accessibility, and content-awareness. Every student interaction stays on school-owned hardware, never on someone else's cloud.

Local Inference: No Internet Required

Running Locally Data stays on device

Why Groundstation

Built different, for a reason.

Most AI tools weren't built for schools. They were adapted for them. Groundstation was designed from the ground up for classrooms where connectivity is unreliable, budgets are limited, and student data protection isn't optional.

FERPA-Compliant by Design
Student data never leaves the building. There's no cloud endpoint to secure, no vendor data agreement to negotiate, and no third-party storage to audit. Compliance is the architecture.
True Data Sovereignty
Your school owns the hardware. Your school owns the data. No queries are shared with a model provider, used for training, or stored off-premises. Full administrative control remains with the institution.
No Internet Required
Groundstation runs entirely offline. No cloud dependency means no outages, no latency from a remote server, and no barrier for Title I schools where reliable broadband isn't guaranteed.
Curriculum-Aware Responses
Groundstation answers from your course material, not the open internet. Student queries return responses grounded in what's actually being taught, keeping the AI a learning tool, not a shortcut.
Context Guardrails
Every query is evaluated against curriculum context before a response is generated. Out-of-scope requests are flagged, not answered. Instructors decide what the AI is allowed to help with.
Full Audit Trail
Instructors see every query, flagged interactions, and session patterns in a real-time dashboard. No guessing what students are asking. Full visibility, no cloud account required.

How It Works

Deployed onsite. Built around your classroom.

Groundwave AI handles setup end to end. Your team gets a turnkey learning assistant: no new accounts, no ongoing IT burden, no data ever leaving the building.

1
We Set It Up
Groundwave AI deploys and configures everything on your school network. Your team owns the hardware. Nothing leaves the building, and no cloud account is required.
2
Your Curriculum, Built In
Course content becomes the foundation for every response. Groundstation knows your curriculum, and it never reaches outside it.
3
Students Get Support
From any device on the school network, students get guided, curriculum-grounded help, within the boundaries instructors set.
4
Teachers Stay in the Loop
A live dashboard keeps instructors informed of student activity and flagged interactions, in real time, without sending anything off campus.

Where It Fits

Designed for CTE classrooms.

Groundstation is purpose-built for career and technical education environments where students are learning domain-specific skills that require precise, contextual AI support.

Cybersecurity & IT
Ethical Hacking & Network Security
Students explore offensive and defensive security concepts through scenario-based instruction. Groundstation keeps responses within curriculum boundaries: no out-of-scope exploits, no real-world harm vectors.
Computer Science
Coding & Problem Solving
From block-based programming to web development, Groundstation reinforces course concepts and provides hints grounded in what students are actually learning, not generic Stack Overflow answers.
Arts & Design
Design Thinking & Creative Process
Students receive feedback and guidance connected to design principles and projects defined in the course. Critique stays constructive, curriculum-aligned, and instructor-visible.
Proven In
Cyber Security Fundamentals & Ethical Hacking
Groundstation's first deployment is built around our own Cyber Security Fundamentals & Ethical Hacking curriculum, and the same model extends to any CTE program. One device, your content.

2026 Deployment Schedule

Live in classrooms this September.

Groundstation's inaugural school pilot launches Fall 2026 at a Title I CTE school in Newark, NJ: a real classroom with real students, not a lab environment. The pilot produces documented outcomes and a replication-ready playbook for district-wide expansion.

  • Single-term deployment, September through December 2026
  • Course: Cyber Security Fundamentals & Ethical Hacking
  • Full instructor audit dashboard from day one
  • Perkins V eligible: hardware and deployment costs covered under CTE funding
  • Pilot documentation shared with IT and administration in real time

Ready to Learn More?

A limited cohort, by design.

Groundstation's Fall 2026 deployment is reserved for a small number of CTE programs. We work closely with each one, keeping our focus and attention sharp, so every deployment gets the rigor a real classroom deserves. If your school is ready to lead, let's talk.
