AI for Teachers: Plan Lessons and Draft Privately

AI for teachers has mostly meant generic chatbots that never see your actual curriculum and cannot be trusted with student work. That is the wrong fit for a profession built on lesson plans, marking, differentiation and deadlines. Wysor takes a different approach: you upload the real documents, the AI works from what is on the page, and everything runs in one private, EU-hosted workspace. Teachers and educators use it to plan lessons, draft materials and feedback, summarize long texts, and ask questions across their own curricula, without any of it leaving a controlled environment.

One thing up front: Wysor does not replace your professional judgement. It drafts and it reads, but you decide what goes in front of a class and what feedback reaches a student.

Why teachers need a different kind of AI

A consumer chatbot has three gaps that matter in a classroom.

It cannot see your materials. Ask a general tool about your Year 9 scheme of work or a specific textbook chapter and it answers from training data, not from the file in front of you. The most useful input in teaching is your own curriculum, and it never reaches the model.

It forgets the detail. A unit lives across a syllabus, a set of standards, slide decks and past papers. A tool that only chats cannot hold a 40-page curriculum document and build a coherent term plan against it.

It is a privacy risk. Student names, grades and written work are sensitive. Pasting them into a consumer AI can mean they are stored, logged, or used to train the next model.

Wysor closes all three gaps: it reads your files, keeps the unit in one place, and processes everything under a zero-retention, EU-hosted contract.

Plan the lesson, not just the prompt

Most AI tools stop at plain text. Wysor reads the document.

Upload your curriculum, a set of standards, a textbook chapter or last year's scheme of work, and Wysor plans from the actual content. You can then ask, in plain language:

"Build a six-week unit plan on photosynthesis for Year 9, aligned to these standards."
"Turn this chapter into a 45-minute lesson with a starter, main activity and plenary."
"Write ten differentiated questions on this text, three easy, four medium, three stretch."
"Create a worksheet and an answer key from these three pages."

The model works from your file, not a guess. It becomes a fast first pass for the planning that used to eat your evenings. You stay responsible for checking every plan before it reaches a class. For a closer look at how document reading works, see chat with PDF.

Everything in one project

A unit rarely lives in a single file. Wysor reads PDFs, Word and Excel files, PowerPoint, CSV data and more, up to 100 MB each. Load the syllabus, the textbook chapter and the standards into one project and ask across all of them. To see how a whole course library becomes searchable, read how our knowledge base and retrieval work.

Draft the materials

Teaching generates an endless stream of documents, and that is where the hours quietly disappear. Wysor turns notes and uploads into finished drafts.

Worksheets and quizzes. Generate a worksheet, a comprehension exercise or a quiz from a text, complete with a separate answer key.
Slides and handouts. Turn a lesson outline into a set of slides or a one-page handout, ready to refine.
Parent communication. Draft a clear, friendly letter home or a newsletter update from a few bullet points.
Rubrics and mark schemes. Build a rubric for an assignment from the task brief and the level descriptors you already use.

See document generation for how finished worksheets, letters and PDFs come out ready to send. You review and sign off on every draft, so the professional judgement stays with you.

Feedback and marking, faster

Marking is the work that never ends. Wysor gives you a faster first pass while keeping you in control.

Draft feedback. Paste a student response and get a suggested comment against your rubric, which you edit before it goes back.
Model answers. Generate a worked example or an exemplar answer to share with a class.

Wysor does not grade for you. It gives you a starting point so you spend your time on the judgement that only a teacher can provide.

Summarize and research without the guesswork

Long reading comes up constantly: a research article you want distilled, a policy document you need the gist of, a topic to brush up before teaching it. Instead of pasting context into a consumer tool, ask inside the same private workspace where your materials already live.

Summarize a long article, report or policy into the key points for a lesson or a staff meeting.
Explain a tricky concept at three different reading levels for differentiation.
Translate a letter home or a worksheet into another language, privately, for multilingual families.

The research, the source files and the resulting draft all stay in one place.

Multi-model, one workspace

Different tasks suit different models. One is stronger at long-document reading, another at tidy prose, another at structured questions. In Wysor you pick the model, Claude, GPT, Gemini and more, from a single workspace, without juggling separate logins or privacy policies. The curriculum, the worksheets and the feedback stay in one project, and the model choice is yours per task.

Private by design: EU-hosted, zero data retention

Student data should never become someone else's training data. Wysor is built for that.

Zero data retention. Your prompts, documents and student work are not stored by the AI providers and are never used to train models.
EU-hosted. Processing happens on EU infrastructure under strict data protection rules.
A DPA with every provider. There is a Data Processing Agreement in place with each model in Wysor's stack.

Privacy is not a nice-to-have in a school, it is a duty of care. If privacy is the deciding factor for your classroom, the private AI assistant comparison lays out what to check before you trust any tool with student information.

Frequently asked questions

Is student data kept private when I use Wysor?

Yes. Wysor is EU-hosted with zero data retention, and there is a Data Processing Agreement with each model provider. Your prompts, uploads and student work are not stored by the AI providers and are never used to train models. You stay in control of the data you bring in.

Can Wysor read my curriculum and course documents?

Yes. Upload PDFs, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, TXT, CSV and more, up to 100 MB each, and ask questions across them. Wysor reads the actual document, so you can turn a syllabus, a textbook chapter or a set of standards into lesson plans, worksheets and quiz questions.

Will Wysor grade my students for me?

No. Wysor helps you draft feedback and rubrics faster, but the professional judgement stays with you. It gives you a first-pass comment or a suggested rubric that you review, correct and sign off before anything reaches a student.

Do I need to be technical to use it?

No. Wysor runs in the browser and on mobile. You upload a file and ask a question in plain language. There is nothing to install and no technical skills required to plan a lesson, draft a worksheet or summarize a document.

Can I choose which AI model to use?

Yes. In Wysor you pick the model, Claude, GPT, Gemini and more, from a single workspace. One model may be stronger at long reading, another at tidy prose, and the choice is yours per task, without juggling separate logins or privacy policies.
