"I built Open Period because I watched the maths up close: the pile that never shrinks, the evenings that do, and the feedback cut first every time. I didn't want a tool that marked for teachers. I wanted one that gave the boring half back and left the judgement where it belongs — with you." — Scott, the maker · English teacher in training, ACU

The full tool, on real work

From your rough notes. Three tones out.

This is the paid tool drafting from a teacher's actual notes — one situation, three tones side by side, each ready to edit and approve before it's sent.

One situation, three tones side by side — warm, firm and brief — each ready to edit and send in your own words.

Built for your school's AI policy

The email drafter that can't break your data policy.

  • Parent and student names stay in your browser. The free drafter runs entirely on your computer; nothing you type is sent anywhere.
  • You read and approve before anything is sent. The draft is a starting point — every word that goes out is yours.
  • Built for the Australian Framework for Generative AI in Schools: AI assists, a human decides. You're the teacher writing home, start to finish.
  • NSW DoE tells staff not to put student information into free cloud AI. The free drafter never does — it runs in the browser, full stop.
"Pick the situation and a tone; get a calm, professional draft in three styles — and the parent's and student's names never leave your computer." The privacy is in the architecture, not just the promise.
Fair questions

Parent emails, answered straight.

Is the free drafter really free, and is my data safe?
Yes — it's free, with no sign-up. It runs entirely in your browser using teacher-written lines, so nothing you type — names, details, none of it — is sent anywhere or stored. It builds a first draft from your choices; you make it yours. The full Open Period tool goes further: it reads your own rough notes and writes in your voice, every email private to your computer.
Is it ok to use AI for parent emails in schools?
AI is fine as an assistant, not the decision-maker — the heart of the Australian Framework for Generative AI in Schools, which NSW follows. You stay the author: the tool drafts, you read and approve every word, and with the free drafter nothing you type leaves your computer. Always follow your own school system's AI and communication policy as well.
Will it sound like me?
The free drafter gives you three tones — warm and restorative, clear and firm, and brief and factual — to choose from and edit. The full tool goes further: you brief it with your own rough notes and it drafts in your voice, so the finished email reads like you wrote it.
What situations does it cover?
Six of the most common ones: missing or late work, behaviour or disruption in class, positive news to share, a concern about progress, requesting a meeting, and lateness or attendance. Add one optional detail and it's woven into the draft. Each comes in three tones for you to pick and edit.
Does the full tool write from my own notes?
Yes. That's the difference. You drop in your rough notes about the student and the situation, and it drafts the email in your voice — every email private to your computer. The free drafter on this page is template-based; the full tool writes from what you actually want to say.
What does it cost?
Right now you're joining the founding list, which is free — leave your email and you'll be first in when we open, with free founding access for early teachers. No card, nothing recurring to join.
