- Maya: Hey everyone! Here's what's on the radar today on AI.pt. Nova SBE launched an AI teaching lab and a course for school heads, Hospital Lusíadas opened an AI breast unit, and NeraTek shipped a WhatsApp assistant for estate agents. I'm Maya. James: And I'm James. Let's get into it. Maya: So Nova SBE and the Fundação Pedro Queiroz Pereira announced two education projects on Tuesday the twentieth of October. One is a pedagogical innovation lab investigating how data and AI can give teachers suggestions adapted to a classroom. James: That's a careful framing, Maya. The lab is run by the Digital Data Design Institute, a joint unit of Nova SBE and NOVA Medical School. Co-director Pedro M. Ferreira says the research aims to see how AI supports teaching. Maya: Exactly right, James, and it is explicitly a research effort with no launch date or pilot schools yet. The second project, PRISMA, is a leadership programme targeting two hundred directors of public basic and secondary schools nationwide. James: And here is the concrete part. Those directors spend one intensive week on planning and leadership tools, building a strategic vision for their school or cluster. Scientific director Ana Balcão Reis says it grew from consultations with directors themselves. Maya: Onto the second one, James. Hospital Lusíadas Lisboa opened a new imaging and diagnostics centre with a breast unit. The hospital says its AI compares imaging assessments against international clinical guidelines to reinforce the precision of diagnosis. James: That's the heart of it, Maya, and the workflow around it matters. The main novelty is the Via Verde da Mama, a priority circuit guaranteeing fast specialist assessment when breast disease is suspected, speeding up tests and decisions. Maya: Yep, and the unit brings specialities together in one place. It offers ultrasound, mammography with tomosynthesis, densitometry and MRI, plus psychological support, nutrition and rehab. Clinical director David Serra framed it around accessibility, speed and specialisation for everyone. James: Last one, Maya. Lisbon startup NeraTek launched an AI platform on the twentieth of October that lets Portuguese estate agents answer buyers automatically on WhatsApp, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, replying in seconds at any hour. Maya: That's a sharp use case, James. The assistant collects budget, timeline and financing needs, then books a viewing straight into the agent's Google Calendar. A portal sorts contacts by interest, with weekly reports on buyer demand. James: And the pitch is speed. Co-founder Marcos Moreira says agents lose deals when they are at a viewing or dinner as a buyer writes. Pricing is twenty-nine euros per agent monthly plus VAT, after a fourteen-day free trial, no lock-in. Maya: That's your AI.pt daily brief. Check ai.pt for the full stories.
