How it works

Step 1

Type the angry version, the facts, and the boundary you want to hold: the grade stands, no extension, a meeting on Thursday.

Step 2

Student names are redacted automatically before anything is written. One check question if the boundary is unclear.

Step 3

Get four versions: a short reply, a full reply, one for the head of school, a dated note for the file.

Nothing is stored. Close the tab and the text is gone.

Who it is for

Teachers with a parent email open

You know what you want to say. You also know you cannot send it. Type both, send the right one.

Anyone told to make it sound nice

Pasting a draft into a chatbot with a student's name in it is a privacy problem. Here names are hidden before anything is written.

Anyone who needs a paper trail

Every exchange comes with a dated note for the file and a version your head of school can read.

How this compares

Today the workaround is pasting your draft into a general chatbot and typing make this sound nice, student name included. There is no version for the head of school and no note for the file. Teacher Email is $29 a year and does both.

Why we are building this

I do not want to write a nice, diplomatic, placating email. But I should. Because professionalism.
