Work With Me

Helps students understand what an assignment is asking, break it into steps, and get unstuck without doing the work for them.

Before you start

This tool is set up by a parent, teacher, or school support adult before a student uses it. If you're a student who found this on your own, check with a parent or teacher before continuing.

Work With Me helps students understand, plan, and work through assignments. It does not complete assignments. The student supplies the thinking. This tool helps make the thinking more manageable.

Follow your school's rules for AI use. Some teachers allow AI for planning, hints, or checking work. Some don't. If you're not sure, ask a teacher, parent, or school support adult first.

If you're a student reading this: This tool is designed to be set up by an adult who works with you. It won't do your homework. It won't give you answers. It helps you figure out where to start and what to do when you get stuck. Ask the adult who set this up for you if you have questions about whether you should use it.

Privacy

When a student pastes assignment directions, remove anything that identifies them or their school before continuing. That includes:

  • Student's full name
  • School name or teacher name
  • Phone numbers or email addresses
  • Student ID numbers
  • Home address or personal contact information

A shortened or simplified version of the assignment directions works fine. The student doesn't need to paste the whole thing.

If this tool detects what looks like private information in the assignment field, it will stop and ask you to remove it before continuing.

Work With Me
AI can misunderstand directions or miss classroom context. Use your own thinking too. If something looks wrong, check with a teacher.
