Open Chat for the questions between every teaching task.
Plan, explain, draft, adapt and think aloud with a classroom-aware AI assistant built for UK teachers and connected to the wider Teachmate toolkit.
Useful for teachers. Ready for schools.
Open Chat runs through the same safeguards and accountable data controls as the wider Teachmate platform.
- Classroom-aware safetyResponses are checked for age-appropriateness, tone and sensitive-topic handling.
- PII prompts and data minimisationTeachers are helped to avoid including unnecessary pupil identifiers.
From question to useful output in three steps
Start from a real teaching need, add the context that matters and keep the useful result.
Step 1
Ask naturally or start from a teacher prompt
Type the question as you would ask a colleague, or use an educator-crafted starting prompt for planning, AfL, communication or pastoral work.
Step 2
Add files and classroom context
Attach a worksheet, scheme, policy or draft. Set the year group, subject, tone and intended outcome so the response fits the job.
Step 3
Refine, save or move into a specialist tool
Continue the conversation, copy the useful answer, save the thread or carry the context into Lesson Planner, Worksheet Generator or another structured workflow.
