For everything else, there's Open Chat.
Your flexible, curriculum-aligned space for planning, research, resource creation and everything in between, with file uploads and web search built in.
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 student identifiers.
From question to useful output in three simple steps
Ask it anything, add your context, refine.
Step 1
Ask it anything
A lesson idea, a tricky email, a definition a Year 8 will understand, a behaviour strategy for Friday period five. Type it as you'd think it, no form, no dropdowns. Teachmate already knows your year group from your settings, so every answer arrives pitched to your class. Stuck for a first question? Pick one of the suggested prompts.
Step 2
Give it your context
Attach a document (a worksheet, ascheme of work, a behaviour policy, a piece of student writing) and Teachmate reads it before it replies. Tick 'Search web' when the answer needs to be current, from this year's exam dates to a news story for tutor time. And if you ask the same kind of question every week, insert a saved prompt rather than typing it out again.
Step 3
Refine it, then keep it
Treat the first answer as a draft, not a verdict. Ask for it shorter, pitched more or less challenging, or with a worked example, and Teachmate rewrites it in the same conversation. Every chat is saved, so you can pick it up again whenever you need - and if a prompt worked well, save it as a template and use it with the next class.
