About Smootables

Smootables is a school-year planning and timetabling platform, built in Finland by educational technology professionals.

A school timetable carries a year's worth of decisions: which courses run, who teaches them, which rooms and equipment they need, and which students sit in each lesson. In vocational and technical colleges those decisions multiply across workshops, work placements, and individual study paths, and most timetable tools leave planners to resolve the conflicts by hand. Smootables exists to close that gap.

The product is built around one idea: the timetable should be generated from the school's plan, and the plan should stay understandable to the people who own it. A constraint solver (the engine that places lessons without clashes) does the mechanical work, and the planner keeps the decisions.

What we are building

Smootables is built to combine school yearly planning, resource assignment, solver-based timetable generation, planner and teacher collaboration, publishing, and timetable editing in one workspace. The core of that is shipped today: you plan the year, the solver generates a feasible timetable from your plan, and you edit, recover, and share the result. Planners can also make large plan and timetable changes in natural language; the AI assistant explains tradeoffs and respects hard constraints without bypassing the solver. How Smootables works walks through the shipped product step by step and states plainly which capabilities are still part of the vision.

Where your data lives

Smootables is designed as a cloud SaaS product with school-scoped data isolation, so each school's data stays separate. It is GDPR-compliant, data is hosted on secure Microsoft Azure servers, and the app runs in the browser with nothing to install.
