“I'm a teacher. What can intouch do for me?”

Great question — here's the honest answer, in plain terms (no tech jargon needed):

The core idea: things you currently have to remember to do by hand, InTouch does for you automatically, and tells you when it's done (or if something needs your attention).

A few things that fit a classroom right away:

• Grades & attendance, summarized for you. Whatever export or spreadsheet you already keep, InTouch can turn into a weekly "here's who's slipping, who's missing work, who hasn't shown up" — landing quietly in your inbox, no need to open the gradebook yourself.

• Parent messages without the mail-merge headache. Give it your contact list and a template, and it fills in each family's details and sends it — on whatever schedule you want (say, every Sunday night, automatically).

• Marking help, not marking replacement. An AI step can draft feedback comments, build a quiz from your material, or spin up three versions of a worksheet — but *you* always read it and decide before anything goes out.

• Reminders that actually go out. Permission slips due, reading logs, that one trip payment nobody's made — a check can watch your sheet and message just the people still missing it, by name.

• End-of-term reports/packs, assembled per student the same way every time.

• Backing up your gradebook and planning folder every night to another drive — set up once, never think about it again, and it saves you in June.

• Your student data can stay entirely on a machine you control — if you use a local AI model (Ollama) instead of a cloud one, no student info ever leaves the room. That's the answer if your school asks.

• Nothing ever gets sent to parents automatically unless *you* set it up that way — by default I prepare things and let you press send.

Anything on that list you want me to actually set up right now? If you tell me what you already use for grades/attendance (a spreadsheet, a specific gradebook app, etc.) I can wire up the first one today.
