For educators

You stop being the answer. You start being the teacher.

Every other AI in your classroom hands the answer over. That is the problem, and your students found it before you did.

Ours refuses. Ask it what the theme of the chapter is and it asks what you noticed. Ask it to solve the problem and it asks which step you got stuck on. It keeps asking until the student arrives somewhere themselves — and then it stops.

This is not a new idea. It is the oldest one in teaching. What is new is that it can happen for every student, in every hour, without another person in the room.

What a chatbot cannot give you

Four things you get instead of an answer.

  1. i

    You see the reasoning, not the output.

    A finished essay tells you nothing about who wrote it. A transcript of a student being asked twelve questions, and changing their mind twice, tells you everything.

  2. ii

    It teaches from your book.

    Not a general model's idea of the subject — the text you actually assigned. Upload it and the tutor works through that, chapter by chapter.

  3. iii

    Progress you can act on.

    Not a percentage. Which concepts a student can explain and apply, which are half-built, and which have not been touched yet.

  4. iv

    Cheating stops being the question.

    A tutor that will not give an answer cannot be used to get one.

Being straight with you

What it does not do.

It does not grade for you. It does not contact parents. It does not decide what a student is ready for.

Those are yours. The reason the tutor asks questions instead of answering them is the same reason we are not trying to take them.

Want something to forward upward? A one-page summary of the argument, written to be printed and handed to whoever signs off.

See it with your own book.

An account opens the library. Bring the text you teach from and watch the tutor work through it.
