How we use AI, plainly
Last updated 16 August 2026
In short
A language model writes the draft. You approve every stage before it goes further. Diagrams are never generated. Lesson content helps improve Lessonsuite unless you turn that off in settings.
What the AI does
It reads your notes and works out what you meant: subject, year, topic, objective, crucial knowledge, vocabulary, and the misconception worth tackling. Then it writes a structured plan in the framework you chose, and a deck from the plan you approved. It also drafts the worksheet and the quiz.
The checkpoints
There are four, and they are the point of the product. You see what we understood before a word is generated. You approve the plan before slides exist. You can change any slide. Nothing reaches a classroom that you have not read. That is a design decision, not a disclaimer at the bottom of a page.
Images and diagrams
Never generated. Maps, diagrams and anything a child learns from come from a checked, licensed library of 129 vetted assets. A generated diagram with one wrong label teaches a wrong fact to a child who cannot spot it, and that is not a risk worth a nicer picture.
Training
Your notes build your lesson. Beyond that, we use lesson content to improve Lessonsuite itself, so it plans better for the next teacher. That is on by default and you can turn it off in your settings at any time, with no effect on how the product works for you. Anything your school uploads, such as a curriculum overview or scheme of work, is never used this way, and neither is anything from a teacher who has opted out. The model provider does not train on your content either; our contract with them prohibits it. We do not sell your content and we do not publish it.
Accuracy
A language model can be confidently wrong. It can get a date out by a century or phrase something in a way that would confuse a Year 2 class. The curriculum mapping it plans against is checked by practising teachers, but the sentences it writes are drafts. Your professional judgement is the last check, and it is the one that counts.
Telling us
If it produced something wrong, we want to see it. Send us the lesson and what went wrong, and it goes onto the list that decides what we fix next.
