💡 Tips for Best Results

- Upload relevant, clean documents (avoid scanned images without OCR).

- For more creativity, increase Temperature slightly (0.4–0.7).

- Use Advanced settings for token and probability control when refining outputs.

- Keep lesson length realistic for content depth.

- Save your DOCX outputs immediately after generation — Render's free tier has ephemeral storage.

🚀 Benefits

1. Save Hours of Prep Time

Instead of starting from scratch, generate a timed, structured plan tailored to your course level and teaching style.

2. Personalize with Your Materials

Upload your existing slides, readings, or notes — the AI uses them for augmented generation so the output reflects your content.

3. Flexible Activity Generation

Choose from 10 pre-designed group activity formats for interactive learning, or skip them if not needed.

4. Instructor Cheat Sheets

Instantly generate a bullet-point summary with key talking points, reminders, and tips for delivering the lesson.

5. Professional Look & Feel

Outputs are .DOCX files ready to print or share with students and co-teachers.

📸 How It Works

1. Enter course info – Title, academic level, lesson length, and teaching style preset.
2. Adjust creativity – Tune Temperature, top_p, and max_tokens for AI output style.
3. Upload materials – PDFs or DOCX files for the AI to reference.
4. Generate lesson plan – Initial draft omits activity details but reserves time for them.
5. Add group activities – Pick a format from the built-in library and download a ready-to-use student handout.
6. Get instructor pointers – Download a teacher-focused document with bullet points, reminders, and helper tips.
