Learnmark in Horsens is introducing its own AI chatbot, Miira, across all subjects, while restricting access to open AI tools such as ChatGPT on the school network.
Avisen Danmark reports that the vocational school has run a trial with Miira in mathematics since the spring. After the summer holiday, the chatbot is being rolled out in every subject. One of the students involved is 17-year-old Dan Lam, who is in his second year of EUX Business.
Miira can only be used for feedback, dialogue and sparring, and it does not deliver finished answers. Dan Lam told Avisen Danmark that he tried to feed it a math problem out of curiosity. Instead of solving it, the chatbot gave him rules for learning how to do it himself.
According to the same reporting, Miira is prompted with the school’s learning plans in all subjects. Individual teachers then load their own teaching plans into the system, so the bot answers within the curriculum being taught. Dan Lam described it as a knowledgeable sparring partner that cannot replace a teacher or human conversation.
Mathematics teacher Jette Vind, who tested Miira in his class, said many students are strong at math but struggle to write down and explain their reasoning. She sees the tool helping with exactly that language and structure. She also stressed that it can never stand alone, because students learn best with others and the bot cannot read the room.
Vind added that banning AI entirely makes no sense, since young people use it regardless. As she put it to Avisen Danmark, the school now has a tool available to everyone, so help at home is no longer limited to the most resourceful students.
In a post published on August 6, 2026, Learnmark Horsens said it has invested in Miira as a shared, accessible, secure and school-oriented AI for use across its departments. The school describes Miira as a Danish-developed platform built for the Danish education system. It also presents the chatbot as a safer alternative to open services such as ChatGPT.
Trial period before a final decision
Per the school’s own account, students and teachers should have Miira as a common starting point rather than open AI tools. Learnmark notes that students do not have access to AI at exams, so the tool is meant to strengthen independent academic skills. Director Niels Yde is named as the source of the school’s summary of the policy.
Learnmark states that the restriction of open AI tools is being introduced as a trial period, after which the school will assess the experience and decide future practice. The school links the timing to its broader effort to build a common, pedagogically controlled framework for AI in teaching. On its own website, Miira says the platform is built for education and supports feedback and dialogue rather than ready-made answers.
