Questions

What coaches ask first.

Anything else? The help center covers the rest.

What does it cost?

Free to use, no card required. You'll get advance notice before any paid plan.

Where do lessons happen?

Lessons run in the built-in classroom. That's where the recap, worksheets and flashcards come from. If a call ever fails, you can finish that lesson on an outside link.

Is every lesson recorded?

No, only if your student turns on “Record my lessons” in their own account. Without it, lessons work the same, minus the transcript and drafts. Recording only happens with students who have agreed in their own account, and only while AI is on for your account. The audio is deleted within 7 days.

Does the AI replace me?

No. You teach; the AI drafts what comes after. Your student gets it usually about 20 minutes after the call ends. Until then you can change it, remove parts or share it sooner. One switch in Settings turns AI assistance off.

What does my student see?

Their lessons, shared recaps and focus areas, worksheets, flashcards, the resources you share, invoices and messages with you. Never your other students.

Where does my data go, and can I take it with me?

Recordings are used only to make that lesson's materials, and never to train AI. The Privacy Policy has the details.

Do my students need to sign up?

Yes, through a personal invite link from you. There's no public student sign-up.

Which languages does it work with?

Any language you teach. The transcript can be told which languages a lesson uses, from a list that includes English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Chinese.

Can parents follow along?

Yes, by email. Add a parent's address on the student's page and turn on recap emails. Once they confirm, they get an email the first time you save each lesson's recap or homework. Parents don't get a login.

Is it only for language coaches?

It was built with language coaches, and also works for chess coaches and tutors. Pick what you teach at sign-up.
