Adaptive reading-level progression Automatic decision
Sets a student's reading level automatically from assessment results.
- Uses: Assessment results and grade level
- Provider: Microsoft Azure OpenAI
- Review: A teacher can see the level and the result it came from, and a teacher's approval or change of a score on the student's work changes the level the student is served. At the school's request, we opt a student out of automatic progression; a reassessment then does not change the level, which is kept for a teacher to review. A school or family can ask us to correct a level through our privacy-request process.
AI tutor / reflection chat Assists a teacher
Provides an AI tutor for learning conversations and reflections.
- Uses: Student chat messages and lesson context
- Provider: Microsoft Azure OpenAI; Microsoft Azure AI Translator translates replies for students outside New York who choose another language
- Review: The conversation is advisory and visible to the teacher.
AI-assisted literacy grading (expression-of-ideas + pronunciation) Assists a teacher
Suggests provisional scores for selected literacy work, and marks typed answers on quizzes.
- Uses: Student work in selected literacy practice modules, and typed answers on teacher-assigned quizzes
- Provider: Microsoft Azure OpenAI when a student completes the work; Google Gemini (primary) with OpenAI (fallback) when a teacher re-grades
- Review: A teacher approves or changes a literacy score before it counts. The AI's mark on a typed quiz answer waits for the teacher at schools in New York, or whose state is not on record, and counts when the student submits it elsewhere.
Learning-narrative character & scene media generation Assists a teacher
Creates character and scene media for learning stories.
- Uses: An optional student photo and story prompts
- Provider: Google Gemini for art and narration in stories teachers build, and for character pictures; scene story text uses Google Gemini, with OpenAI as a fallback; on the student portal, Microsoft Azure OpenAI reads a picture a student uploads and Microsoft Azure AI Speech voices character samples; Microsoft Azure AI Translator translates scene text for students outside New York who choose another language
- Review: A teacher reviews class-story media before sharing it, and it can be replaced or regenerated; every picture is made under the provider's safety filters.
Lesson individualization (IEP / accommodation aware) Assists a teacher
Adapts lesson content to support a teacher's instruction.
- Uses: Lesson content and a student's learning accommodations; tools that adapt material for one student also use the student's name, grade level, reading level and interests
- Provider: Google Gemini (primary); OpenAI (fallback / administrator-selectable)
- Review: A teacher reviews the content before sharing it with students.
MakeIT Secure social-engineering simulation Assists a teacher
Powers a teacher-configured cybersecurity practice simulation.
- Uses: Student responses in the practice simulation
- Provider: Microsoft Azure OpenAI; Google Gemini for the simulation's pictures; Microsoft Azure AI Translator translates replies for students outside New York who choose another language
- Review: A teacher reviews the results; they are not a disciplinary record.
Pronunciation assessment (spoken-sentence scoring) Assists a teacher
Analyzes a spoken sentence and provides formative pronunciation feedback.
- Uses: A spoken sentence or paragraph, used to provide pronunciation feedback
- Provider: Microsoft Azure AI Speech and Microsoft Azure OpenAI
- Review: The feedback is formative practice help, not a grade; no score is kept, and teachers see only which practice sets were completed.
Read-aloud passage narration (text-to-speech) Assists a teacher
Reads passages and word pronunciations aloud.
- Uses: Reading passages and word pronunciations; no voice is recorded
- Provider: Microsoft Azure AI Speech (voice on the student portal) or Google Gemini (narration a teacher prepared); AI-generated passage text uses Google Gemini, with OpenAI as a fallback
- Review: This is an accessibility aid, not a score or an automatic decision.
SAT / assessment AI question generation Assists a teacher
Creates practice questions and explanations.
- Uses: Assessment type, grade, and standard
- Provider: Microsoft Azure OpenAI
- Review: It is a practice aid, not an official grade. Students at schools in New York are shown only official College Board practice questions; no question is AI-generated for them. Elsewhere each generated question is checked automatically before it is shown, and it is reused for other students only after RevolutionEd approves it.
Other AI tools for students
Students can also use AI to rewrite a class lesson around an interest they choose, and to format a citation for a web page.
- Uses: The class lesson, the student's grade level and the chosen interest; for a citation, the web address, the page's public details and the citation style
- Provider: Microsoft Azure OpenAI
- Review: The result is shown to the student without a teacher reviewing it first; it is a study aid, not a grade.
Content-safety moderation Safety control
Screens student-submitted text (and free-form AI responses) for harmful content before it is stored or shown, so unsafe material can be blocked or withheld. No text is generated.
- Information it uses: student-submitted text and AI responses (screened; Microsoft Azure AI Content Safety and OpenAI's moderation service keep no copy, and text sent to Microsoft Azure OpenAI for a follow-up check is kept by Microsoft for a limited period to detect abuse)
- Provider: On the student portal, Microsoft Azure AI Content Safety (since 2026-10-07), with Microsoft Azure OpenAI follow-up checks; in tools for educators, the OpenAI Moderation API when enabled; an internal deterministic keyword list as the fallback when neither is available; the active AI provider's built-in safety filter screens generated output
- Human oversight: A protective control, not an automated decision about a student. Flagged items are recorded for the school's review, and a flag in the AI tutor chat pauses that student's chat until a teacher reviews it.
Self-harm and crisis detection Safety control
Screens student-typed text for indications of self-harm or crisis. When an indication is found, the student is shown crisis-support resources (such as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) and a minimized alert — naming no student and with no message content — is sent to the school's administrators and to any safety contact the school designates (or, if the school has neither on file, to RevolutionEd's safety team), so the school can follow its own student-safety procedure. It is not sent to parents or law enforcement by default, and detection is based on the safety concern, never a student's identity.
- Information it uses: student-typed text (screened for a safety concern, never for identity); when a concern is found, a short excerpt is kept in a safety record for the school's follow-up
- Provider: A deterministic crisis-lexicon classifier (always on); on the student portal, outside the AI tutor chat, the Microsoft Azure AI Content Safety self-harm signal (since 2026-10-07, with a Microsoft Azure OpenAI check that tells bullying apart from a risk to the writer) augments it
- Human oversight: The school responds; lower-confidence signals go to a review lane, not an alert. The AI never counsels, diagnoses, or decides a crisis is real — it is a detection, referral, and notification layer only.
Teachers decide what is assigned to students and can review the results, and we apply data minimization (we collect only what the lesson needs). For the full picture of what we collect and your rights, see our Privacy Policy. Students can also read the plain-language Your Privacy notice.
