BBE Buddy
Evidence-informed AI for teachers.
BBE Buddy is an AI assistant for teachers and school leaders. It answers questions about teaching, learning and assessment from a curated collection of 136 works, shows the passage behind every claim, and turns the answer into classroom material you can export to Word or PDF.
The collection includes the EEF guidance reports, the National Curriculum for England and work by Dylan Wiliam, John Hattie, Paul Kirschner, Carl Hendrick and Efrat Furst.

Benefits
For teachers and school leaders
Verifiable answers
Every claim links to its passage, so you decide what to rely on and where to read further.
Established research
The collection is curated, so answers rest on established research rather than on whatever is popular online.
Clear about gaps
When the collection does not cover a question, BBE Buddy says so.
Your school's terminology
With your school's material added, answers use the terms and agreements your team already works with.
Ready to use
Classroom material exports to Word or PDF, so you can edit it and hand it out.
What it does
What BBE Buddy does
BBE Buddy answers questions, writes classroom material, and can work with your school's own documents.
01
Answers questions about teaching and learning.
Ask about formative assessment, feedback, questioning, cognitive load, curriculum or implementation. BBE Buddy searches the collection, selects the passages that apply and writes its answer from them. Every claim can be opened to show the passage and the work it comes from.

Process
How BBE Buddy works
BBE Buddy first searches the collection for the passages that answer a question, and then writes the answer from those passages. That is why every claim can be traced to a source.
Search
Your question is matched against 136 works on learning and assessment, and against your school's own material if it has been added.
Select
The passages that answer the question are selected and ranked. The open web is not searched.
Answer
The answer is written from those passages, with each claim tied to its source.
Check
You open the basis: the claim, the quoted passage, the work and why it applies. Where the collection has no answer, BBE Buddy says so.
