In this week's Local Business Spotlight, we sat down with Thomas Thompson, founder of Eduaide (and former teacher in Anne Arundel County), a locally based, AI-powered platform built specifically for teachers. Eduaide helps educators create lesson plans, classroom activities, graphic organizers, games, and other instructional materials, all with the goal of saving time and making planning a little less overwhelming. Bonus: There is a free version as well as a paid version (which would make an outstanding gift for a teacher in your life).

We talked about how the idea came together, what makes Eduaide different from more general AI tools, and why the platform is focused so heavily on practical, classroom-ready support for educators. The company says its tools are designed to help teachers build standards-aligned materials and access a wide range of teaching resources in one place.

If you are a teacher, know a teacher, or just want to hear how one founder is using technology to support education in a meaningful way, this is a great conversation. Have a listen!
