Chalk.my
AI-powered lesson planning, assignment creation, and grading for K-12 teachers.
The teacher stays in the driver's seat. Chalk is a collaborator, not a replacement. When you "Chalk my lesson" or "Chalk my assignment," you're instructing an AI partner that facilitates engagement with the pedagogical process rather than short-circuiting it. The name works as a verb: teachers can literally say "I'm going to chalk my assignment" and it flows naturally.
For grading, the goal is to learn the teacher's patterns and voice, not to spit out generic feedback. The tool adapts to how each teacher thinks about assessment rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all approach.
The core philosophy: AI superpowers for humans doing hard, important, and often undercompensated work. Brain atrophy from AI thinking-substitution is real. We need to lift up and empower superstar human teachers who can change kids' lives, not turn them into button-clickers who can't function without AI assistance.
