Case Study: GoGuardian achieves safer, more scalable AI-powered learning with Databricks

GoGuardian Safer schools, empowered teachers, thriving students

GoGuardian, which helps protect and support learning for half of U.S. K–12 students, faced major challenges scaling AI workloads across fragmented infrastructure. Its platform processed billions of daily inferences while needing to maintain strict privacy compliance for student data and support high-stakes use cases like web filtering, harm prevention, and classroom safety.

GoGuardian chose Databricks to unify data, AI development, deployment, and monitoring on a scalable, privacy-first foundation. With Databricks, the company modernized its infrastructure, improved compliance and efficiency, and accelerated AI innovation, resulting in a 62% reduction in inappropriate device usage among students.
