We all know that teacher. The one staying up until 2 AM, surrounded by coffee cups, staring at a blank report card trying to find fresh ways to say “participates enthusiastically in class” for the 47th time. Maybe you are that teacher?
So we built a Report Card Comment Generator. Give it a try!
This is a tool to help teachers break through writer’s block, letting them focus their energy where it matters most: actually teaching.
How It Works
The idea is to transform objective inputs into thoughtful, subjective comments.
First enter the student’s name, grade and the subject being reviewed.
The grade and the subject inform which core competencies are displayed. Drag sliders (the objective inputs part), add custom competencies, and drop in any additional context about the student.
Then our AI writing partner (ChatGPT 4o) crafts those data points into an actionable, encouraging comment.
The goal isn’t to make report cards more automated – it’s to make them more authentic by giving teachers back the mental energy they need to truly reflect on each student’s progress.
The Tech Behind It
We’re continuing to learn the strengths and weaknesses of each LLM, and have again invited a number of them to the table.
Google Gemini 2.0 Flash Experimental: Built the core code. We made sure it kept it real simple, with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Claude 3.5: Primarily used for page styling, but we also had it parachute in for troubleshooting to get the damn thing to actually work.
ChatGPT 4o: Embedded into the tool itself, taking the user inputs and writes the comment.
The tool is hosted on Vercel.
Share the Report Comment Generator with your teacher friends and let us know if they find it helpful!
