Questions teachers ask
What is TeachBuddy AI?
An AI workspace for teachers and schools. It makes every learner part of every lesson, from planning to assessment, so teachers teach the class they actually have and schools can see that every identified need was acted on.
Is TeachBuddy AI free?
Yes, for teachers, within monthly limits on generation. Everyone signs up free; no card is needed. A Plus plan raises the limits and adds extras such as automations, sharing, Google Drive and Canva. School plans are agreed in a conversation.
How is it different from ChatGPT or a general chatbot?
A chatbot writes for a class it has never met and forgets it when the tab closes. TeachBuddy AI starts from your class profile, your textbook pages and your template, saves the result where it belongs, and feeds your students' answers into the next plan.
Which curricula does it support?
Any, because plans are built from your own materials. Summative papers can be calibrated to Cambridge, IB, the UK National Curriculum, US Common Core, Pearson Edexcel, the Australian Curriculum or a board you name.
Which languages?
The interface is in English and Arabic. Generated content follows the language set on the class profile or on the form.
Can I upload my textbook?
Yes. PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, CSV, photos and scans. Long scanned books are indexed and read page by page when a lesson names the pages.
Do students need accounts?
No. Students join a space with a code. No student email is required.
What happens to student data?
Student work stays inside the teacher's space. School leaders see class-level evidence only, never student names. Teachers are not observed or ranked. The privacy policy has the details.
Can my whole school use it?
Yes. Schools get a policy and checklist, a review queue, a school library, timetables and a leader view. Start with a one-term pilot: two sections, one subject, your curriculum.
Does it work with Google Drive, Canva or PowerPoint?
Downloads to Word, PDF and PowerPoint are on every generator. Saving to Google Drive and editing in Canva are on paid plans.
Can I connect it to Claude or another assistant?
Yes. TeachBuddy AI exposes capabilities as MCP tools, so a compatible assistant can read your quizzes, spaces and lessons.
Who is behind TeachBuddy AI?
A small team led by a technical founder who taught for years, with co-founders in training, community and special educational needs. Teachers in 80+ countries use it, and 33 teachers and school leaders from 13 countries co-designed it in a research fellowship.
How do I get help?
Email [email protected] and include the email address of your TeachBuddy AI account so the team can look into it.
