For school and library IT

This note is for technology staff at a school or a library. It explains the AI Lab page on this website.

What the AI Lab is

The AI Lab is a chat page for students in grades 2 to 5. It lives at /lab on this website. Students can use it during class, including in places where other AI websites are blocked.

Accounts and saved chats

Students do not create accounts. There is no login. This website does not store chat transcripts. The conversation stays in the browser until the student closes or refreshes the page. The server does not keep a copy.

What to allow

Student devices only need to reach this website. They do not connect to OpenAI. The server calls OpenAI only when the site owner has added an API key.

Allow this address: https://tryailiteracylab.com

What happens to a message

Demo mode. When no API key is set, the page shows a Demo mode label. Replies are sample sentences written for this site. The message is not sent to OpenAI.

Live mode. When an API key is set, the server sends the student's new message, plus a short stretch of the current conversation from the browser, to OpenAI to write a reply. The server also sends the student's message and the reply through OpenAI's moderation check. If a message looks like it includes a phone number, an email address, or a street address, the server answers with a privacy reminder and does not send that message to OpenAI.

The server does not write the chat to a database.

Class code

The owner can set one shared class code in the hosting settings. It is not a student account. If no code is set, the page does not ask for one. [PLACEHOLDER: confirm whether a class code is wanted]

What this note does not cover

This page is not a legal agreement. The privacy and terms pages are drafts. [PLACEHOLDER: owner to confirm OpenAI data settings]
