For Teachers
Parent email, conference prep, resource creation, and your class website. Handled.
Try Zo freeYou became a teacher to teach. Not to run a mini admin office after school.
It's Sunday night. You're not grading. You're writing parent emails, updating your class website, reformatting a worksheet for the third time, and building a slide deck for Monday's lesson. The actual teaching part takes 20 minutes to prep. Everything around it takes three hours.
Zo is an AI teaching assistant that handles the work around instruction: parent communication, conference prep, lesson resource creation, class website updates, and recurring reminders. Other AI tools generate a worksheet and stop. Zo keeps working after you close the tab.
A morning briefing before first period
Zo texts you a summary of your day: classes, parent emails, deadlines, and calendar changes. You walk into the building knowing what needs your attention and what can wait until prep period.
Parent emails, drafted overnight
Connect Gmail and Zo reads your parent threads. By the time you sit down with your coffee, draft replies are waiting. Zo matches your tone, references the student by name, and keeps context from the previous thread. Routine replies go out in seconds. Trickier situations stay for your judgment.
Conference prep, handled
Parent-teacher conferences are next week. For each family, Zo pulls together a prep doc: recent grades, your notes on behavior and participation, any parent emails from the past month, and suggested talking points. One document per family, ready before the first handshake.
Resources built from your curriculum
A vocabulary worksheet, a rubric, a study guide. Zo works as an AI lesson plan creator that references your standards or textbook and builds resources from the materials you've uploaded and the context of your course. Need three differentiated versions? Describe the scaffolding levels and Zo generates all three.
Your class website, updated without IT
Zo doubles as a class website builder. Text Zo what you want posted: this week's assignments, a resource link, a photo from the science fair. It's live in minutes. No help ticket, no waiting for the district webmaster.
Progress reports that don't eat your weekend
End of quarter, individualized comments for every student. Give Zo your notes, your grading data, and the tone you want. It drafts comments for each student. You review, adjust, and submit. What used to take an entire weekend gets a first pass in an hour.
Scheduled tasks that run themselves
Weekly assignment reminders to parents. A Monday morning email to your team lead. A monthly summary of resources you've shared. Describe what you want and Zo runs it on a schedule.
