Users can receive key information about their studies without the need to open the web version of the diary or the “MESH Diary” mobile app. This was reported by the press service of the capital Department of Education and Science.

“Voice assistants make interaction with the educational services of “MESH” even easier and more convenient. Parents and students can find out about grades, class schedules, attendance, homework, and other important events, such as the start and end dates of holidays,” the department’s press service said.

Now users can choose between Sber’s “Salute” and Yandex’s “Alisa” — both allow you to receive information from the electronic diary “MESH” and monitor a student’s academic performance. The voice assistant will provide information about the child’s grades for the selected period, including individual subjects.

In addition, users can find out which school subjects are scheduled for a specific day, at what time classes start and end, and also get other information about the upcoming class schedule. An AI-based assistant helps keep track of homework: it will tell which subjects require assignments to be done and clarify details, including digital homework tasks. This is especially convenient for parents when they need to quickly check on their child’s schoolwork.

Activating the “MESH Diary” skill on the smart speaker also allows users to receive information about class attendance. Users can find out details about tardiness and absences, including for a specific period. In addition, it will be easier for parents to learn about holiday dates, which will help them plan the child’s schedule in advance.

Among other useful features are the balance of the “Moskvenok” card account, information about ordered hot meals and the child’s menu, as well as purchases in the school buffet.

To activate the “MESH Diary” skill on Sber’s smart speakers, you need to open the “School” section in the corresponding mobile app, select “Services,” and go to “Voice Assistant.” Then press the “Connect” button, choose “Salut,” and set a name for the speaker. After that, you need to say: “Launch the ‘MESH Diary’ skill.” The speaker will state a code to enter in the “MESH Diary” app, and only after that will it connect to the account. Detailed instructions for connecting the voice assistant to the digital diary for schoolchildren and parents available on website.
