Ask AI in Teach 'n Go

The fastest way to answer any question about your own school's data — who owes money, who is absent, which teachers are free, how full a class is. What Ask AI can and can't answer, the free monthly allowance, and how to hide the dashboard box.

Written by Abdullah Al-Hussein

Ask AI is a question box that answers questions about your school's own data in plain language. If you want to know something about your own students, classes, schedule, attendance or money, Ask AI is the fastest way to get the answer. It is available to every school, and you'll find it on your dashboard and on the Pro page.

Questions like these

Ask any of these straight into the box on your dashboard. There is no report to build and no spreadsheet to export.

  • How many students don't have payments set up this month?

  • Who owes us money?

  • Which students have an outstanding balance?

  • How much revenue did we take last month?

  • How many students do we have?

  • Which teachers are free on Friday at 3pm?

  • What lessons are on tomorrow?

  • How full is each class?

  • Which classes are starting soon?

  • Which students have missed the most lessons?

  • Whose birthday is coming up?

  • How many enquiries did we get this month?

  • How much has each teacher earned?

You can ask in your own language, and the answer comes back in the language of your question.

Ask AI answers questions about your data, not about the software. For help using Teach 'n Go, use the support chat in the bottom corner instead.

Your school may use different names for students, teachers and classes. If you don't see the menu items below, ask your admin to check your permissions.

Asking a question

  1. Go to your dashboard and find the Ask AI box, or open Pro in the left-hand menu.

  2. Type your question, or click one of the example questions under the box.

  3. Press Enter.

Every answer ends with a line saying exactly what was counted, so you always know what the number means. When the answer is a list of people, the names appear as rows under the answer rather than in a sentence.

If your question is ambiguous, Ask AI asks one clarifying question before answering. You can also ask a short follow-up, such as "and last month?", and it carries on from the previous answer.

Collapsing or hiding the dashboard box

If you'd rather not see the Ask AI box on your dashboard, you have two options:

  • Collapse it — click the small arrow at the top-right of the box to shrink it to a slim line. It's still there, just out of the way.

  • Turn it off — click your name (top-right) → My account → Dashboard widgets tab, then toggle off Ask AI. This only affects your own dashboard, not anyone else's.

What you can ask

Ask AI answers from your school's own records only. It covers:

  • Students and contacts: headcounts, lookups, birthdays, enquiries, custom fields, and family phone numbers and emails

  • Schedule: what is on today or tomorrow, teacher and classroom availability, cancelled lessons, holidays, and teacher hours

  • Attendance: attendance rates, missed lessons, absence streaks, and missing lesson notes

  • Classes: class counts, rosters, how full each class is, empty classes, and classes starting soon

  • Money: overdue balances, revenue, payments due soon, student balances, and teacher earnings

Money questions are only available to users who can open Payments. Everyone else can still use all the other categories.

What it does not do

  • It never changes anything: Ask AI is read-only and cannot add, edit or delete records

  • It does not answer how-to questions: for help using Teach 'n Go, use the support chat in the bottom corner

  • It never guesses: answers use only the numbers and names in your records, and each one states what was counted

The monthly allowance

On the standard plan, your school can ask 15 answered questions per calendar month, shared across everyone at the school. Only questions that actually get an answer count: clarifying questions, and questions Ask AI cannot answer, never use up the allowance.

Teach 'n Go Pro removes the allowance, and during a free Pro trial it rises to 500 questions a month. The counter resets on the first day of each calendar month.

Your questions and answers

Your recent questions and answers are kept so you can revisit them, and are automatically deleted after 30 days. Questions you save are your own text with no answer attached, and they stay until you remove them.

For everything else included in the Pro plan, see Teach 'n Go Pro.
