General FAQs
Is the feature available on Mobile?
- Currently, the Writing Assistant feature can be used on the web and mobile browsers only. It is not available in our ManageBac+ App for iOS and Android.
How is the school data protected?
- ManageBac+ does not use any personal information from students or teachers to train its AI model or share this information with anyone outside of the school such as 3rd parties. Please review ManageBac+ AI: Technical Information for more details.
How does ManageBac+ ensure responsible use of AI?
- Faria has implemented strict guidelines to ensure the ethical and responsible use of AI. For a detailed overview of our policies and principles regarding AI usage, please refer to our AI Acceptable Usage Policy at https://www.faria.org/ai-acceptable-usage-policy
What information is passed to the LLM model?
- The Writing Assistant AI does not pull data or context from the page or other sources. For example if a user types "Can you create an assessment for the current unit plan" or "Can you create a report card comment for John based on their grades for summative assessments?", the AI will not know which unit plan is being referred to, nor will it know of any past grades or assessments for John.
