FAQs

What should teachers buy first?

Start with one general assistant, one workflow-specific tool, and one automation or publishing tool only after the process is repeatable.

How do we avoid tool sprawl?

Assign every tool to a specific workflow owner, success metric, and review date before adding another subscription.
