AI Assistants

Mossie includes 15+ built-in AI assistants for common teaching tasks, plus the ability to create your own custom assistants for recurring workflows.

Every assistant follows the same pattern: you provide structured inputs, tap Generate, review the draft, edit as needed, and save or export. All AI outputs are drafts -- you always have the final say.

Built-in Assistants

Lesson Plan

Generate structured lesson plans with clear objectives, timed activities, differentiation strategies, and assessment checkpoints. Aligned to your curriculum when you have documents in your Knowledge Base.

Unit Plan

Plan multi-lesson sequences with progression across lessons, standards alignment, resource lists, and assessment milestones. Organizes lessons into a coherent unit with logical flow.

Detailed guide

Assessment

Create quizzes, tests, and rubrics with multiple question types (multiple choice, short answer, extended response). Includes answer keys, marking guides, and difficulty variants so you can differentiate.

Detailed guide

Feedback

Draft professional student feedback from your bullet notes or performance observations. Choose your tone (supportive, neutral, balanced) and length. Produces specific, actionable feedback that references actual performance.

Detailed guide

Report Cards

Generate bulk report card comments for an entire class at once. Mossie draws from each student's accumulated performance notes to produce individualized comments. Review and edit before copying to your school's report card system.

Detailed guide

Newsletter

Create parent newsletters with class highlights, upcoming events, and reminders. Can pull from your activity log entries for the week. Formatted and ready to send.

Detailed guide

Parent Communication

Draft individual messages to parents about student progress, concerns, meetings, or events. Set the tone and context, and Mossie produces a professional, clear message.

Detailed guide

Presentation

Build slide-based lesson presentations with titles, content, and speaker notes. Export directly to Google Slides or use as PDF handouts.

Detailed guide

Activity Sheet

Design printable worksheets with differentiation for different ability levels. Includes instructions, exercises, and extension activities.

Detailed guide

Mind Map

Create visual concept maps showing relationships between ideas. Useful for brainstorming, topic introduction, or revision. Shows how concepts connect to each other.

Detailed guide

Generate vocabulary word search puzzles for any topic. Specify word lists or let Mossie suggest words based on your topic. Includes answer keys.

Detailed guide

Discussion Questions

Produce classroom discussion prompts with varying depth and complexity. Includes follow-up questions and links to curriculum objectives. Good for class discussions, Socratic seminars, or homework prompts.

Detailed guide

Idea Generator

Get creative teaching ideas, activities, and resource suggestions for any topic. Useful when you are planning a new unit or looking for fresh approaches to familiar content.

Detailed guide

Substitute Plan

Create emergency lesson plans that a substitute teacher can follow without prior context. Includes clear instructions, materials needed, student expectations, and contingency activities.

Detailed guide

Image Generation

Premium Feature

Image Generation is available on the Premium plan.

Generate AI images for lessons and classroom materials. Describe what you need -- a diagram, illustration, scene, or concept visualization -- and Mossie creates it. Powered by DALL-E and Flux.

How Assistants Work

Every assistant follows the same workflow:

  1. Select an assistant -- From the Home screen, tap the assistant card
  2. Fill in the inputs -- Subject, topic, grade level, and any assistant-specific fields
  3. Choose your output language -- Each generation can be in any of 16+ languages, independent of your UI language
  4. Tap Generate -- Mossie processes your request (usually takes a few seconds)
  5. Review the draft -- Read through the generated content
  6. Edit as needed -- Change anything that does not fit
  7. Save or export -- Save to your documents, or export to PDF, Google Docs, Google Slides, or Google Forms

Tip

Be specific in your inputs. "Year 5 Mathematics: Adding fractions with unlike denominators, 45-minute lesson" produces better results than "fractions lesson."

Custom Assistants

Premium Feature

Custom Assistants are available on the Premium plan.

Build your own AI assistants for recurring tasks that the built-in assistants do not cover. Every school has different workflows -- Custom Assistants let you create tools that match yours.

Examples

  • Friday Family Connect -- A weekly parent email that pulls from your activity log, summarizes highlights, and lists upcoming events in your writing style
  • Weekly Reflection -- End-of-week personal teaching notes with reflection prompts aligned to your professional development goals
  • Class Connect -- Daily session prompts based on your school's values or character education program
  • Incident Summary -- Structured incident documentation that separates facts from observations and references relevant school policies

Creating a Custom Assistant

  1. Go to Custom Assistants (in the sidebar on web, or under More on mobile)
  2. Tap Create New Assistant
  3. Configure:
    • Name -- What to call the assistant
    • Icon -- Choose a visual identifier
    • Description -- What the assistant does (for your reference)
    • Instructions -- Tell the AI how to generate content, what tone to use, what structure to follow
    • Input fields -- Define what information the assistant needs from you each time
    • Context sources -- Choose what data the assistant can pull from (activity log, performance notes, policies, etc.)
  4. Save

Your custom assistant now appears alongside the built-in assistants and can be used standalone or as a node in Workflows.

For a detailed walkthrough, see the Custom Assistants guide.

AI Output Language

Each generation can be produced in any of 16+ languages. This is separate from your UI language setting. For example, you can use Mossie in English but generate a lesson plan in Afrikaans or French.

The output language selector appears on every assistant's input form. It defaults to your preferred language (set in your profile) but can be changed per generation.

Tips for Better Results

  • Be specific -- Detailed inputs produce more relevant outputs
  • Include context -- Mention specific curriculum standards, student needs, or constraints
  • Iterate -- Generate multiple versions and compare them
  • Edit always -- AI output is a starting point, not a finished product
  • Upload to Knowledge Base -- The more school context Mossie has, the better aligned outputs will be
  • Use Voice Learning -- With writing samples, outputs sound like you instead of generic AI
