Generating and editing narratives

Narratives are AI-drafted character summaries for each student, based on the observations teachers have logged. You review and edit every narrative before it goes anywhere.

Before generating:

The Narratives page automatically sorts students into three groups:

• Needs Attention — fewer than 3 observations. These students can't be generated yet. You can add a context note about the student to unlock generation even with thin data.
• Ready — enough observations to generate. These are included when you click Generate.
• Done — narrative already generated for this semester.

You can filter by semester and grade before generating.

Generating:

1. Go to Narratives in the sidebar.
2. Choose the semester and, optionally, a grade to filter.
3. Click Generate All (or Generate Grade X if filtered).

The AI works through each ready student one at a time — you'll see a progress bar. It draws on the observation notes teachers wrote. The more specific the observations, the better the narrative.

Editing:

Generated narratives appear in the Review & Edit section. Each student has an editable text field. Make your changes and click Save. You can see who last edited each narrative and when.

Regenerating a single narrative:

If you're not happy with a narrative, click Regenerate on that student's card. This calls the AI fresh for just that student and replaces the text in the field. The previous version is not saved — if you want to keep parts of it, copy it out before regenerating.

Marking narratives as reviewed:

Once you've read and approved a narrative, click Mark reviewed. This adds a green checkmark to the card. Use the Unreviewed only filter at the top of the Review & Edit section to focus on what's left. If you try to publish or export while some narratives are still unreviewed, you'll see a warning so nothing slips through.

Every narrative is yours to shape. The AI gives you a draft; you give it your voice.
