Short description

SURLABS aims to sustainably improve digital education through the use of advanced AI technologies – with a particular focus on integration into the ILIAS system. At the last ILIAS conference in June 2025, we presented our first solutions, including an AI-based course creator that can generate complete courses and learning modules, as well as a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system that allows users to upload PDF files and interact with their content via natural language queries.

For this development conference we are expanding this solution with two key developments. First, we are presenting an advanced AI agent that not only creates content but also handles user management. This allows for automated and simplified organisation and support of courses, resources and participants – a significant added value, especially for teachers and administrators who manage large cohorts. Secondly, we have expanded our existing RAG system: it now also supports multimedia inputs such as videos, audio files and images. This significantly increases the variety and diversity of educational resources that can be processed and accessed using natural language.
These developments mark an important step towards an intelligent, more accessible and multimodal learning experience within the ILIAS platform. They exemplify our vision of creating a sustainable, more inclusive and user-centred digital education world through powerful AI tools.
