Curipod now leads with student writing practice: teacher-led lessons where students read, write and discuss, and get instant AI feedback on what they write. Whether it suits you comes down to whether whole-class writing is what you want to run, since the free plan has weekly sessions and the rubric scoring sits on school plans.
What is Curipod?
Curipod is a writing-practice platform that runs in the browser. It is free for every teacher, and schools and districts buy School & District plans priced by quote. Lessons are aligned to 55-plus curricula.
What Curipod makes for teachers
Curipod builds teacher-led lessons that students read, write and discuss in. AI helps fill in lesson content inside a human-designed structure, with clear learning intentions on every slide. Lessons run as slides the teacher presents.
- Lesson plans as live, teacher-led writing lessons.
- Feedback on student writing the moment students submit, in real time.
- Translations of content, limited on Free and unlimited on School & District plans.
- Rubric scoring: School plans can score writing against a rubric the teacher supplies.
The focus is writing practice rather than a general generator for every kind of class material. Curipod does not describe a standalone slide generator.
Working with students and schools
Students write and get AI feedback inside the teacher's lesson. They receive one exchange at a time, so the AI never becomes an unsupervised back-and-forth chatbot, and there is no student AI chatbot. Students need no account, and the free plan allows unlimited student writers.
Curipod works with ClassLink, Clever and Google single sign-on, and single sign-on is a School & District feature. Reports, PDF download of lessons, text to speech and rubric scoring also need a school plan. A community and webinars are offered, with priority support on school plans and basic support on Free.
Curipod pricing: what each plan gives
The Free plan is $0 a month for every teacher. It gives weekly writing sessions that renew each week, unlimited student writers, student responses of up to 1,000 characters, and limited usage and translations.
School & District is priced by quote and sized to student count. It adds rubric scoring, reports, PDF download, text to speech and single sign-on.
ELA Curriculum Alignment is a district plan, also priced by quote.
Privacy and security
Curipod is compliant with FERPA, COPPA, SOPPA and GDPR. It has signed off on the Arizona Student Data Privacy Agreement, and any eligible district is welcome to subscribe to its published state agreements.
On training, its policy reads "We never use teacher or student data to train the AI models we use." Personal data is not shared with model providers. For compliance questions, you can write to compliance@curipod.com, and it has email support and a community.
Who Curipod suits
Curipod suits English language arts, social studies and science teachers who want whole-class writing practice with instant feedback, aligned to district curricula and state tests. The free plan costs nothing, students need no accounts, and the lesson stays in the teacher's hands.
It suits less well teachers who want a broad generator for worksheets, quizzes and unit plans, since writing practice is the focus. Schools that want rubric scoring, reports or single sign-on will need a School & District quote.
