Currently, Nearpod’s AI Create is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4.o mini. Nearpod has developed a proprietary system of intermediary prompts, safety guards, evaluations, and validations to ensure the output is safe, relevant, appropriate, and tailored for the classroom. Nearpod’s AI does not use or collect any user data to train the model.

Generated content is 100% customizable and requires human interaction to be deployed to students, keeping the teacher at the center. AI Create requires teacher review and input at multiple points throughout the creation process. Educators can preview and edit the generated content prior to finalizing a lesson or multiple-choice formative assessment.
