The curriculum hasn't changed. Your students have. Fae is a private AI that helps you think further - lesson ideas, research, context, questions worth asking. No account. Free. Works offline.
You have a curriculum to get through and a room full of people whose attention is split in ways they can't entirely control. That's not a complaint about them - it's just the reality. Fae is a thinking partner for teachers trying to navigate it.
Students today are reaching for adult content - news, social discourse, political argument - long before they have the context to process it. They're not disengaged; they're often over-stimulated and under-contextualised.
The job isn't just getting through the material. It's helping them build the cognitive foundations to think about anything - when the lesson is over and the phone is back in their hand.
Your students are already using AI, in ways that range from genuinely useful to deeply corrosive to original thought. You don't have time to become an AI expert, but you do need a working understanding of what it is, what it can and can't do, and what it means for the skills you're trying to teach.
Fae can help you understand all of that - in plain language, at the pace you need, without having to sign up for a newsletter or watch a webinar.
Fae lives entirely on your device. No Wi-Fi. No account. No school IT policy needed. Just ask.
Fae generates angles, analogies, discussion starters, cross-subject connections and real-world examples - tailored to the age group you're working with, not a generic lesson plan template.
Power, corruption, ambition, the abuse of institutions - Fae can quickly surface the contemporary connections that make a historical text feel like it was written last week.
Cognitive load theory, the testing effect, growth mindset evidence, attention and sleep - Fae translates the educational research into what it actually means for how you plan and deliver.
The difference between comprehension and understanding. Fae helps you write questions that reveal thinking, not just memory - Socratic prompts, devil's advocate positions, structured controversy.
Fae explains how large language models work, what they're good at and bad at, and what kinds of thinking they genuinely can't replace - without needing you to have a tech background.
The gap between what assessment measures and what actually develops capability. Fae can be a calm, non-judgmental thinking partner for the questions you can't easily raise in a staff meeting.
I asked it to help me explain why the 1930s happened, in a way that would land with a room full of teenagers in 2025. It took about thirty seconds and I used most of it. That's not replacing my teaching - that's giving me time to actually do it.
The curriculum tells you what students need to know. It can't tell you how to help them care about it, connect it to their lives, or understand why it still matters. That part is still yours - and Fae helps you do it well.
You don't need to become an AI expert. But the technology is already shaping how your students learn, what they produce, and how they think. Fae gives you a way to understand it honestly - without hype, without alarm, without having to read the tech press.
Ask her anything about AI. She'll explain it clearly, including what we genuinely don't know yet.
Fae lives on your Mac or iPhone. No school IT sign-off needed. Nothing shared with anyone. Works in your car on the way in, in the prep room between lessons, at home when you finally get five minutes.
