Proposal for an Educational Version of ChatGPT with Parental Control

Hello OpenAI team,

As an educator, I see great potential in AI-assisted learning. However, many students use ChatGPT to get fully written answers instead of engaging in real learning. To address this, I propose a dedicated educational version of ChatGPT designed to guide students rather than just provide answers.

Key Features of “ChatGPT Educational”

:small_blue_diamond: Interactive Learning Mode – Before providing an answer, the AI asks guiding questions to ensure students understand the topic.
:small_blue_diamond: Step-by-Step Assistance – Instead of giving a full essay or solution, the AI helps structure ideas, corrects mistakes, and explains grammar or logic.
:small_blue_diamond: Parental & Teacher Dashboard – A monitoring system that allows educators or parents to track students’ progress and ensure they actively engage in learning.
:small_blue_diamond: Customizable Restrictions – Parents/teachers can limit direct answers and encourage reflection before receiving AI support.

This version could be installed on students’ devices as a pre-configured AI tutor, ensuring they use AI to learn rather than cheat.

Would OpenAI consider developing such a feature or collaborating with educators to refine this idea? Many teachers would love to see an AI tool that guides students toward deeper thinking instead of spoon-feeding them answers.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Best regards,

I think that is a job for a dedicated application.

There might already exist some, I think there is Khan Academy and other educational initiatives that do something similar.

Education has many particular requirements and changes a lot depending on the subject and country rules, so it isn’t as trivial as it sounds.

Yeah, education is super complex. A general app might help, but specialized ones like Khan Academy are probably better suited for the job.
