The problem every teacher knows
You've spent years building your curriculum. Lesson plans, worksheets, slide decks, assessments — thousands of hours of work sitting in a Google Drive folder or on a flash drive.
Every time you need to create something new, you start from scratch. Or worse, you copy-paste from old files and spend an hour making it fit.
What if your old materials could become an AI that generates new ones in your exact voice?
What I built
EDUagent — open-source, runs locally or via API.
You point it at a folder of your existing lesson plans. It reads them, learns your teaching style, your vocabulary level, your structural preferences (do you always use exit tickets? graphic organizers? I Do / We Do / You Do?), and your assessment approach.
Then you ask it:
eduagent full "Photosynthesis" --grade 8 --subject science --weeks 3
And it generates:
- Complete 3-week unit plan with essential questions and enduring understandings
- Daily lesson plans written in YOUR voice (not generic ChatGPT voice)
- Student worksheets, ready to print
- Assessments, rubrics, slide deck outlines
- Differentiation notes for struggling/advanced/ELL students
How persona extraction works
The key insight: teachers have a distinctive voice. If you've written 50 lesson plans, an LLM can learn:
- Teaching style: Socratic? Direct instruction? Inquiry-based?
- Structural preferences: Do you always start with a warm-up? End with an exit ticket?
- Vocabulary level: How do you talk to your students?
- Assessment style: Multiple choice? Rubric-based? Portfolio?
EDUagent extracts these patterns and uses them as constraints when generating new content. The output sounds like you wrote it — because it learned from you.
Runs locally (free) or via API

Built with a K-12 teacher as the primary user. The goal isn't to replace teachers — it's to eliminate the administrative grind so teachers can spend more time actually teaching.
Contributions welcome — especially from teachers who want to test it on their actual materials.
