AI Prefect

For teachers. Illustration, not a measured result. Not part of the rating. DebateOwl could save around 10–15 minutes on a first draft of revision questions, which you still check for accuracy before anyone revises from it. Wrong facts in a revision set waste the pupil’s time, so read them.
