Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping the landscape of education in Indonesia, ushering in a wave of innovation that is changing the way students learn and how teachers teach.
The adoption of AI technologies has enabled the implementation of online examinations, automated assignment grading, and, most notably, the personalization of learning experiences. These changes have not only streamlined educational processes but also opened new doors for students to better understand and engage with academic material.
One of AI’s greatest contributions is its ability to adapt content delivery to each student’s unique learning style and preferences. This capability allows for a more tailored and effective learning journey, boosting student comprehension and engagement.
A growing number of AI-powered platforms have emerged to support students in their academic journey. Intelligent learning assistants and educational chatbots now provide quick answers and clear explanations, empowering students to study independently and at their own pace.
Among the most noteworthy innovations is Tanya Pijar, an AI-based chatbot developed by Pijar Belajar, a digital learning platform launched by Telkom Indonesia. This tool is specifically designed to respond to student questions related to school subjects in a way that is both clear and easy to understand.
“The future of Indonesia lies in the hands of today’s youth. We recognize the urgent need to nurture a generation that is globally competitive and well-equipped. That’s what motivates us to keep developing digital solutions across different ecosystems, including the digital education space,” said Komang Budi Aryasa, EVP of Digital Business & Technology at Telkom Indonesia, in an official statement on Friday, April 11, 2025.
What sets Tanya Pijar apart is the quality of its answers—clear, quick, and digestible for learners of varying levels. Additionally, the chatbot is designed to tailor its responses to the student’s level of understanding, using reliable and credible sources as references.
A Strong Focus on the National Curriculum
Unlike many generic AI learning tools, Tanya Pijar is specifically built to align with Indonesia’s national curriculum. This makes it an especially relevant and effective educational assistant for Indonesian students, supporting independent learning that remains on track with academic standards.
The Pijar Belajar platform as a whole provides a wide array of features, including interactive videos, question banks, and exam simulations—all crafted to match the national educational framework. These tools are especially helpful for students preparing for major national assessments such as the Computer-Based Written Examination (UTBK) and the National Test-Based Selection (SNBT) for high school graduates.
With its AI-driven tools and curriculum-focused features, Pijar Belajar is helping pave the way toward a smarter, more inclusive, and student-centered education system in Indonesia.
