AssignAI

Create structured, multi-step assignments with AI built right in

AssignAI helps instructors design complex AI-integrated assignments that make AI a structured part of the critical thinking and learning process. Define the AI’s role, shape each step, and cap how students can lean on it — while student names and emails are never sent to the AI model.

Consider the case below, then tell me which brain region is most likely involved — and why.

After a minor stroke, a patient can recall old memories clearly but struggles to form new ones. Motor control and language are unaffected.

That sounds like the hippocampus — it’s central to forming new long-term memories, which would explain why old memories are intact.
Exactly. The hippocampus consolidates new experiences into long-term memory. What everyday situation would be hardest for this patient — and what does that tell you about the difference between storage and retrieval?

What is an AI-integrated assignment?

An AI-integrated assignment is a learning activity instructors create themselves, with AI built directly into the student experience. Instructors define the assignment steps, decide what role AI should play, and set the ways students can interact with it. Once built, the assignment can be shared with students through a simple link. The format is flexible: AI can act as a tutor, coach, critic, research partner, or something more specialized — guiding students through a structured learning experience one step at a time.

You set the AI's role

Tutor, Socratic questioner, feedback provider, research assistant — or write your own system prompt. The AI behaves the way your assignment needs.

Guardrails on every step

Design the flow students move through, require real engagement before advancing, and cap how many times they can lean on the AI.

Private by design

The AI model never sees who your students are — no names, no emails, no account details. Conversations are tied to an anonymous session, not a student identity.

Examples

A few ways instructors use it

Every assignment defines its own AI role, steps, and limits. Here's the range.

ENG 201

Rhetorical Analysis with AI Feedback

The AI reviews drafts and surfaces concrete improvements — without rewriting the student's work.

EssayAnalyze
PHIL 110

Socratic Problem Set

The AI replies only with probing questions, pushing students to examine their own assumptions.

Problem setEvaluate
BUS 340

Case-Study Research Assistant

The AI helps locate and evaluate credible sources, and never fabricates a citation.

Case studyApply
BIO 250

Guided Lab Report

Step-by-step coaching through hypothesis, method, and analysis as the student writes.

How it works

From idea to shared assignment in four steps

The builder mirrors the way you already think about an assignment.

1

Setup

Answer a few quick questions, upload an existing assignment, or reuse a previous one — AI fills in the rest for you to refine.

2

Steps

Lay out the flow students move through, with engagement gates that keep them thinking before they advance.

3

Try it

Play the assignment through as a student would, then adjust anything before it goes out.

4

Publish & Share

Send students a join link. They work through the assignment step by step, with progress saved automatically.

Student privacy is built into the architecture

Student identity stays out of the AI conversation. The model receives only the assignment context and what students write — never their names, emails, or account details.
