I can finally watch a whole class draft at once and know which three students need me — instead of reading twenty pieces on Sunday night and guessing which ones the AI wrote.
The Coach Mode difference
Coach Mode is enforced on the server, not the client — and every attempt to bypass it shows up on the teacher's dashboard instead of going through. Same student ask, very different response.

Coach Mode
“Your opening tells me where Maya is, but not what she wants. What does she notice first — and why that detail?”
Asks the better question.

Fair question. ChatGPT is what most schools already block — and what students get around the block with. OpenAI's education tier solves the procurement story, not the ghostwriting story. By default the model still drafts prose when asked, because that's the product.
We made the opposite trade. Coach Mode is the product — server side, not a setting. When a student asks for a paragraph, the model never sees the request as “write me a paragraph.” It sees “help this student think about what their character wants.”
That's not a feature OpenAI can ship around without changing what ChatGPT is. We can — because writing coaching is the only thing we do.
Built on Creader
Creader for Schools isn't an education product retrofitted with AI. It's the classroom layer of a writing platform built for long-form fiction — knowledge bases, character continuity, scene structure, voice. Everything Guardian catches in your students' drafts, it catches because adult novelists have been using it on theirs.
That depth is the moat. Generic edtech can ship a grammar checker. They can't ship a coach that knows your student's character changed name in chapter two.
One teacher. One classroom — after-school writing club (ECA) or English class. One link. Pay only if it works for your students. Locked-in early-adopter rate for the first ten schools.
No. Creader for Schools is a writing-coaching layer. It does not replace your gradebook, rubric system, or assignment submission flow. Teachers grade outside Creader.
Coach Mode is enforced server-side, not in the UI. Prompt-injection attempts are rejected before the model sees them, and the AI returns a coach-style nudge instead.
No. Student writing is sent to OpenAI / Anthropic for inference only and is never used for training. We do not send it to advertising or analytics providers.
In v1 we require teachers to attest that all enrolled students are 13+. We are not yet COPPA-cleared for under-13 use. See the Security page for the full retention policy.
A teacher creates a classroom and shares a 6-character code or QR. Students sign up with email — no SSO, LTI, or Google Classroom integration required for v1.
