The big idea
Reps push tools claiming '40% better outcomes!' Most claims fall apart fast. AI can help you check the studies behind the marketing, scan privacy policies, and compare to free alternatives.
Some examples
- Paste a vendor's research claim; AI flags the weak parts.
- Have AI compare a paid tool to 3 free alternatives.
- Ask: 'What student data does this collect?'
- Generate 10 questions to ask a vendor before piloting.
Try it!
Pick one EdTech tool you're considering. Ask AI to find 3 critical reviews and 3 free alternatives.
