Frequently Asked Questions

Can’t I just use ChatGPT?

Yes, you could. The benefit of TeacherGPT over something like ChatGPT is that we have trained the underlying ChatGPT model specifically on the New Zealand curriculum and education system.

You could do this yourself, but it would take time, and require you to re-train ChatGPT each and every time you interacted with it.

TeacherGPT also gives you access to the latest ChatGPT model, which would cost you upwards of $30 NZD per month if you wanted to do this directly through OpenAI (ChatGPT) itself.

Why does TeacherGPT cost $8 per month?

This covers our overhead costs of using the latest version of GPT-4o, as well as our web hosting.

Every time you send a message to TeacherGPT we are charged a small fee by OpenAI — we’ve done our best to find a reasonable monthly price that works well for you, and us.

Why is there a 500 messages per month limit?

This is a limit we put in place to protect us from incurring huge, unpayable OpenAI fees. The 500 message limit we have currently set is generous: So generous in-fact, that no one has ever actually hit that limit. And the hope is that you never do.

How does TeacherGPT differ from any other GPT?

It doesn’t really.

What we’ve done is combine 4 GPTs into a single product specifically designed for teachers, and significantly lowered the cost. To use a GPT you would need to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus which costs upwards of $30 NZD per month. With TeacherGPT you get 4 GPTs for only $8 NZD per month, all specifically trained on the New Zealand curriculum and education system.

How do I cancel my subscription, and what will happen?

You can cancel your subscription at any time by visiting the Settings page within TeacherGPT which is located at the bottom of your left-hand side bar. At the bottom of this page you will see the option to cancel your subscription. If you do decide to cancel, you can continue to use TeacherGPT as usual until your current subscription period has expired.

When and how will I be charged for TeacherGPT?

If you decide to subscribe to TeacherGPT you will be billed $8 instantly, and immediately have full access. You will be billed again on the same date the following calendar month. For example, if you subscribe to TeacherGPT on Feburary 5th, you will be billed again on March 5th.

TeacherGPT for Schools FAQ

How do I add staff to our account?

There are two parts to adding staff (teachers, or admins) to your account. The first, requires that you have enough Seats allocated to your subscription. The second, requires you to invite the user to create an account within your organisation.

To increase or reduce the number of Seats allocated to your account, head over to your Subscription management page, within Settings. Here you will enter the number of accounts your schools requires, and save. Each Seat costs $8/month.

Now that you've allocated enough Seats, you will need to add or invite your staff by heading to the User management page, within Settings. Here you will be able to add new users, by clicking the Add User button, and entering their email address. This will email the user, prompting them to create an account, which will be automatically assigned to your organisation.

How do I deactivate staff?

Within your User management page, you will see a list of your school's users. Click “Manage” on the user you wish to deactivate, and you will be able to deactivate that user. The user will be deactivated effective immediately.

Please note: Deactivating a user does not change the number of Seats your school will be charged for. To manage the number of Seats within your subscription, please head over to your Subscription management page and update the number of allocated Seats.
