Artificial intelligence is growing by leaps and bounds. It's no longer science fiction anymore!
Lots of AI tools can serve as our own personal assistants -- answering questions, helping us write text, create images, speak more effectively, and more.
Time has always been a barrier in the classroom. Most teachers would agree that they would be able to do more -- including the things that are most important -- if they had more time.
Teachers can find AI tools that are ready to help them out right now. Lots of them are free or have "freemium" plans with limited free options.
Below is a description of AI and how you can start using it to support your work in class.
What is artificial intelligence?
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of a computer or machine to perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, decision-making, and more. There are several different approaches to building AI systems, including machine learning, where a system is trained on a dataset and can improve its performance over time, and rule-based systems, where the system follows a set of predetermined rules to make decisions.
AI can be applied to a wide range of areas, including natural language processing, image and video recognition, robotics, and playing at Platinum Play. The goal of AI research is to create systems that can perform tasks at least as well as, or ideally better than, humans. AI has the potential to revolutionize many industries and transform the way we live and work, but it also raises important ethical and social questions.

Thanks for your list and for keeping it updated 🙂 The top still says November, 2023… where do we find the date when this has been updated?
Are all of these tools FERPA compliant? I want to ensure that any tools I try respect the privacy of my students’ information, and some of these seem like they might not be, since they are not specifically designed for education.
This AI is realy cool! Thank you for suggestion. I have used the image generator and the pictures turned out high quality and believable.
I also really like Socrat.ai! They have some cool in-classroom chatbots that you can design if you want a unique assignment idea for your students.
Thanks for the list! I’ll also add one more tool that will be useful – https://copyfrog.ai/
This article is really helpful. Even the comments are great because they give more information about AI tools.
Brisk Teaching is spot-on for this. It’s great to see tools like briskteaching.com getting recognition in AI education discussions. Keep it up!
Hi, I need something that can create work booklets based on a word version of a revision guide with little quizzes, questions and a range of different tasks built in.
I love love all your sources but I need an AI just to sort, reference and organize everything you have on your site. Speaking of which I know I saw an Ai that would automatically generate a google form, didn’t I? Or was I dreaming?
Excellent AI collection.
Hi Rahul, thanks for the shoutout! We are thrilled to have vocal supporters!
Hi Sharon,
Teachaid.ca is a new AI tool in development. I’ve met with the founder, Nadeem Aljaber at least twice now and they are super open to feedback. With their AI tools you can generate full unit and lesson plans, assessments, vocabulary words, generates lesson activities and you can even generate differentiated activities too. They are always open to feedback.
A Very Detailed Resource And A Good Collection Of Tool. I Was Recently Using Learnq.ai for my Digital SAT Prep. If Anyone Want A Dedicated AI Tool FOr SAT Preparation I Will Highly Recommend AS You Can Start FOr Free.
Is there an AI that generates plans, presentations and quizzes? Rather than using different AI’s for each. I teach young children so this would be a game changer for me! I could spend more time supporting them and less time making visual teaching props.
Funny you mention that … I met Suvi from Brisk two days ago at a conference. I didn’t know about it, but I know about it now. And two teachers in a session I led said that they used it. Don’t be surprised if it makes the list during our next update. Thanks for sharing about it.
honestly I’m very surprised that briskteaching.com isn’t on the list. I was a fan of magicSchool AI but a colleague shared brisk with me and it has become my school’s go to.
The feedback comments alone save me at least 10 hours a week
Sorcerer (https://antimatter.systems/sorcerer) is one to keep an eye on. Eric Curts’ just wrote about it today in Control + Alt + Achieve: https://www.controlaltachieve.com/2023/12/edtech-cool-tool-sorcerer.html
NO WORDS TO EXPLAIN .Thanks for taking time to create a helpful and informative article also for sharing us this unique content
I bet AI doesn’t use “learnt”
Wolframcloud.com has ChatGPT4 as an option
[Free registration]
This is great! Another is eSpark – students can co-create stories based on their interests using AI: http://www.esparklearning.com/choice-texts/
thank you for sharing. I learnt so much, I can’t wait to try using some of these AIs and other teaching tools.
Here is another one – Expontum (https://www.expontum.com/) – Helps students and researchers quickly find knowledge gaps and identify what research projects have been completed before.
Eduaide.ai is also a good resource along with MagicSchool.
Thank you very much for sharing these great resources
Great resource! I use https://learnt.ai mainly – primarily for reports, activity ideas and there is a lesson planner chat bot thing that is pretty good. Thanks for the other recommendations!
Good to know!
Thanks for the information. I am a new to AI but definitely will try them out.
I totally agreed! It will be a great help in preparing lessons ahead!
I love all the suggested AI. Over the years, a teacher has to create and seek for resources to enhance their teaching. Not to mention, the students expectations are far more different than years ago. Some of AI are even free to apply and incorporate in our classroom. These AIs definitely help students engage and motivate. Thanks for all these wonderful AIs.
Magicschool.ai is a great tool to add to this list. It can help lesson plan, differentiate, write assessments, write IEPs, communicate clearly, and more.
Thanks for Sharing, what a cool tool!
I am using https://classx.org a lot. They have tools for teachers as well as students. I particularly enjoy the conversation practice chatbots. My students love chatting with the AI.
Thank you the amount of information is toooo much thank you
My favorite tool is MayAI.org
You should include briskteaching.com
It saves me hours a week
You should include Teacherbot. In my view, the most innovative approach to using AI for teachers and planning.
Simply awesome!
Totally agree. Twee is great!
Speachify is no longer free. It has a free 3 day trial.
I love ChatGPT! But I think Twee is much more convenient for a busy teacher cuz you don’t need to try many different requests to get the desired result. You can just pick a tool, type in a topic and that’s it, the task is ready 🤯That’s so simple!
Matt, you continue to amaze me. I will be first in line for your new book. That said, if you ever need someone to be a guinea pig for some of these sites to give you feedback, feel free to ask as I am really enjoying experimenting with AI. I also would like to second what Angie said about twee.com it has some really good tools for teachers.
This article is really awesome! Here’s another AI platform for teachers twee.com. Did you see it before? I’m an ESL teacher and use it to prepare for my lessons.
