Example use cases for English Language Arts
English teachers have enjoyed using Flint’s essay, role play, and literary analysis activities. The AI can act as a writing coach and gives personalized feedback to each student. The reading/writing level, essay objectives, tone, and style can all be specified by the teacher to the AI, which can then guide the student gently without overtaking their voice or writing the assignment for them.

A Frankenstein playlist where each student matches the novel to music they already know
