Alert + Google Gemini
Uncover the unseen with superior visibility
Only Lightspeed Alert combines agents, browser extensions, and Google/Microsoft integrations to identify potential threats where students engage online. More than 50% of serious alerts escalated to districts by safety specialists come from student activity on sources unseen by integrations.
Extend staff resources
The Lightspeed Human Review team works seamlessly with AI to provide 24/7/365 safety alert monitoring and escalation. Our safety specialists have experience and backgrounds in education, law enforcement, and investigation, with additional training in threat assessment and suicide prevention.
Empower safety teams to quickly respond
Create escalation lists to ensure the appropriate team members are notified and ready to act when high and imminent threats are taking place. Get relevant details (screenshots, browser history, and case notes) to see the full incident context.
Monitor images for explicit content
Lightspeed Alert agents can scan images for violence, weapons, nudity/CSAM, and explicit content so that districts have all the documentation they need to keep students safe. Image auditing reports provide detailed information on image viewing and access, ensuring district leaders feel confident knowing sensitive images are protected and secure.
Alert makes a difference.
In the first 7 months of the school year:
1,173,115 Incidents flagged related to self-harm, bullying, violence, weapons, and sexual abuse
496,642 Students identified who may have benefited from intervention
