Questions

Can I ask about one student?

No. The helpers write materials for groups, not plans for a child, so text about one student’s needs is refused before anything is sent.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Free, with no account. Each browser gets 10 AI drafts a day across all twelve helpers, so the cost stays small enough for Peabody to pay. Anything that doesn’t need AI (the comment bank, the read-aloud library’s questions, the makers) is free without counting.

What happens to what I type?

First, this computer takes out names, email addresses, phone numbers, ID numbers, street addresses, links and school names, and shows you what it took out. Text that looks like a student record (an IEP, a 504 plan, a report card, a behavior log) is refused and nothing is sent. What’s left goes to our server, which checks it the same way again, then to Claude Haiku, a model made by Anthropic, which writes the draft. Peabody doesn’t keep what you typed or the draft, and doesn’t log them. Anthropic’s own retention terms for Peabody’s account are not yet stated on this site.

What won’t the helpers write?

IEP goals, behavior plans, social stories, or anything else about a real, identifiable student. Those are decisions about a child that belong to the people who know them. Common Sense Media, reviewing AI teacher assistants, rated IEP and behavior-plan generators high risk and found bias in the behavior plans they suggested. The helpers make materials for lessons instead.

Can I trust the draft?

Treat it as a first draft from a quick colleague who hasn’t met your class. Models can get a fact, a meaning or an answer wrong, so every draft says “AI draft: check before you use it”. Read it through before it reaches students.

Names, email addresses, phone numbers, ID numbers, addresses and school names are taken out on this computer before anything is sent. What’s left goes to our server and on to Anthropic’s Claude, which writes the draft; Peabody keeps neither what you typed nor the draft.
