Question 1

What exactly is TeachPie right now?

Accepted Answer

TeachPie is a digital education platform for lesson planning, learning support, material creation, classroom organization and selected AI-powered analysis features. The platform supports teachers, learners and organizations with tools for drafting, structuring, revising, explaining and performing preliminary technical analysis.

Question 2

Does TeachPie replace teachers or school decisions?

Accepted Answer

No. TeachPie is designed as an assistant system. Final decisions about teaching, organization, and assessment always remain with people. AI results must be checked, reviewed, and actively adopted.

Question 3

Who is TeachPie for?

Accepted Answer

TeachPie is designed for teachers, trainee teachers, schools, school authorities and, within a controlled framework, learners too. The specific features available depend on the plan, tenant and use case.

Question 4

What is the TeachPie Marketplace?

Accepted Answer

In the marketplace at www.teachpie.de/marktplatz, you’ll find free worksheets, tests, reference sheets and complete units, sorted by subject and grade and reviewed by our teacher team. Every worksheet comes in three levels: supported, basic and advanced. You can download the basic version as a PDF without an account; with TeachPie Pro, you get all three levels and the answer keys.

Question 5

Which AI services are currently being used?

Accepted Answer

TeachPie uses external AI technology partners for generative text, analysis, OCR, and text-to-speech features. The model families used behind the scenes may change as the product evolves.

Question 6

Can AI generate incorrect or problematic content?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Like other AI systems, TeachPie can produce factual errors, incomplete answers, inappropriate oversimplifications, or OCR errors. So make sure to review any results that matter for your subject before using them.

Question 7

Can I use AI-generated results directly for exams or assessments?

Accepted Answer

No, not without review. TeachPie can support transcription, analysis or structured preliminary marking, but it is not intended to provide autonomous final assessments. Responsibility for assessment and feedback remains with the teacher or the responsible body.

Question 8

What is TeachPie’s position on the EU AI Act?

Accepted Answer

TeachPie implements transparency, documentation, logging, and oversight measures in accordance with the GDPR and EU AI Act. However, the specific regulatory classification depends on the particular use case. Schools and school authorities must therefore check whether additional obligations apply to their specific use.

Question 9

Are prompts and AI responses stored?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in the current version of the platform, chat histories and AI-related compliance logs may be stored in internal application systems. This storage supports product functionality, history, traceability, security and auditability.

Question 10

Is my data used to train general AI models?

Accepted Answer

TeachPie itself does not use customer data to train its own base models. According to the provider information and configurations published for the enterprise-oriented services currently in use, customer data is not used to train general foundation models. However, technical processing and misuse controls may still take place.

Question 11

Where are TeachPie’s core systems hosted?

Accepted Answer

The core platform runs on infrastructure in Germany. Individual external services such as AI providers, payment, SSO, or email may additionally involve their own data processing outside this core infrastructure.

Question 12

Do all AI data remain exclusively in Germany or the EU?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The core platform runs in Germany, and the AI services in Germany or the EU: text, analysis, and learning support via Microsoft Azure in Germany; image generation and speech via Microsoft Azure in the EU; and search embeddings via Google in the EU. The Vendor and Subprocessor List shows which providers are involved in each case.

Question 13

Where can I find the current list of sub-processors and service providers?

Accepted Answer

TeachPie maintains a separate list of current subprocessors and key technical service providers. This list is updated independently of the Privacy Policy and is provided as an annex during the contracting process or made publicly available on the legal pages.

Question 14

What applies to minors and schools?

Accepted Answer

A higher level of protection applies to use in schools. Schools and school authorities remain responsible for their own legal basis, informing the data subjects, issuing instructions, entering into a data processing agreement where applicable, and carrying out a data protection impact assessment if required.

Question 15

What should I avoid entering in a prompt?

Accepted Answer

Please don't enter unnecessary personal, confidential, or particularly sensitive information in open prompts. Where possible, use abstracted or pseudonymized descriptions.

Question 16

What happens when you use voice or image features?

Accepted Answer

When using voice features, audio recordings, screenshots, and technical manifests may be stored in object storage. Image and document features process uploaded content, sometimes using OCR, and store it for the relevant feature.

Question 17

Can I edit content after it’s generated by AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TeachPie is designed for review and manual checks. Depending on the feature, you can edit, discard or regenerate content.

Question 18

What account plans are available?

Accepted Answer

TeachPie supports individual accounts as well as institutional setups for schools and school authorities. Which features, roles and processes are active depends on the plan purchased and the organizational structure set up.

Question 19

How are sign-ups protected?

Accepted Answer

TeachPie uses a central authentication and account access system. Google or Microsoft SSO can also be used optionally. Additional safeguards include role and tenant logic, as well as technical abuse prevention mechanisms.

Question 20

Who should I contact with deletion, privacy or audit requests?

Accepted Answer

General inquiries can be sent to datenschutz@teachpie.de. If TeachPie is used on behalf of a school or school authority, the inquiry should also or primarily be directed to the responsible school or school authority.
