Start creating with Aila

Creating a lesson

Tell Aila what you want to teach and it will guide you through creating a lesson, starting with your learning outcome. At each stage, you can add Aila's suggestions into your lesson or ask for changes, such as adding or removing content, lowering the reading age or even changing contexts to suit your school's location. Try asking for different tasks or activities to suit your pupils, and download the editable lesson resources.

Already planned your lesson? You can ask Aila to create glossaries, comprehension tasks and quizzes in minutes to enhance an existing Oak lesson or your own lesson. Simply tell Aila what you want to teach, choose your teaching material and create a tailored resource in minutes. Download your resource, or try asking Aila to modify it to better suit your pupils' needs.

What's different about Aila?

Unlike other AI tools, Aila draws on our extensive library of content, painstakingly designed and tested by teachers and subject experts, and aligned with the national curriculum. When you ask Aila for resources, you're much more likely to get high-quality results that are geared to UK pupils, schools and classrooms.

"Using AI to support my planning and teaching wasn't something I'd really considered until I came across Aila. To say I was blown away would be an understatement!"

Avril

Deputy Headteacher at Bedford Drive Primary School

"Incorporating Aila into my teaching toolkit has the potential to not only save me time - around 30 minutes per lesson - but also enhance the quality and effectiveness of my lessons, ultimately benefiting both myself and my students."

Teacher at St Cuthbert Mayne School

How Oak's AI works

Oak AI Experiments explores ways that large language models (LLMs) can generate effective teaching resources and reduce workloads. We do this by using a combination of carefully chosen prompts – instructions aimed at getting useful responses – and our existing high-quality content. Aila currently has a 9000-word prompt to ensure we get appropriate results with as few errors and 'hallucinations' as possible.

Give feedback

Aila is still in development, and we're the first to admit it's not perfect. There may be some glitches and it doesn't yet have all the features you'll want. Aila can't give you images for your slides or model diagrams, though it can suggest where to find them. And like all AI tools, sometimes it's less able in certain subjects and makes mistakes. We're working hard to make it as good as it can be, and that's where your feedback and suggestions come in to help us get there.

Quiz designer

Our AI quiz designer tool has been discontinued for the time being as we focus on developing Aila, our AI-powered lesson assistant. Your feedback will help shape how tools like this might be used in the future – share your thoughts here.
