For teachers. Illustration, not a measured result. Not part of the rating. Chalkie AI takes the blank page out of planning a lesson or a worksheet. Making it fit your class is still your job. It will not know what you taught last week unless you say so.

- Processor, no training on inputs, UK/EU storage or stated transfer safeguards, school DPA available
Pupils: Amber · Use with caution
