This article explores the innovative use of chatbot technology to promote inclusive and equitable quality education, specifically focusing on teacher professional development ( tpd ) in challenging environments, where teachers are in short supply and/ or urgently need support on a large scale, such as contexts of mass displacement. It details the design and integration of the Reflect-And-Act Chatbot (Rebo) within Co-designed Massive Open Online Collaborations (CoMOOCs) as an innovative approach to bridge learning in online tpd and application to practice. The article discusses the design rationale of this innovation for supporting teachers in reflecting on their learning and planning for its application to practice, addressing the critical need for effective knowledge transfer in professional learning. Findings from 116 conversations demonstrate Rebo’s feasibility for stimulating meaningful reflection and initial insights into knowledge transfer were valuable. While Rebo effectively prompted planning, analysis using the smart goal framework revealed that plans often lacked specificity, measurability, and realism. This study affirms Rebo’s potential as a responsible ai innovation, paving the way for future llm integration to enhance goal structuring and responsiveness, ultimately improving equitable access to quality teacher professional development globally.
