Writer. AI that trains your students to become better authors

Last updated on 31 August 2025

Have you ever dreamed of an assistant who helps your students to revise their texts independently? Faced with a writing instruction, some students launch themselves with ease, while others remain paralyzed in front of the blank page. Then comes our turn, that of correction.

An essential but dauntingly time-consuming task, where you dream of being able to sit next to each student to guide them when they need it. What if digital, and more specifically artificial intelligence, offered us part of this solution?

I'm not talking about the fantasies of robots writing instead of students.  I suggest you discover a much more clever solution: Ecrivor. AI designed by teachers, not to replace the author, but to become his personal and caring tutor.

This Educational Artificial Intelligence offers students the opportunity to interact directly with their writings through immediate and personalised feedback, thus promoting the development of fundamental editorial automations.

You set the rules, AI becomes your teaching assistant

The first thing that strikes when discovering Ecrivor is that the teacher remains fully in control of the game. Far from being a black box that imposes its standards, the tool works like a real AI Pedagogical Assistant that you programme yourself. The logic is simple and takes place in two stages.

First, the preparation time. In just a few clicks, the teacher creates a writing activity. It can be anything: a narrative for a French course, a cover letter, a development built on history, a summary of documents... You write the instructions, then comes the heart of the reactor: the definition of the success criteria.

This is where the pedagogical dimension makes sense. Do you want your students to work specifically on the concordance of times? That they use logical connectors? Whether they vary the length of their sentences or use a specific lexicon? All you have to do is configure AI to focus on these points.

Then comes the time of production for the student. Through a simple link, it accesses a simple and clear writing interface. And this is where the magic happens. As he writes, the AI analyses his text in real time and provides him with instant feedback, but only on the criteria you have chosen. The student is no longer alone, passively waiting for the verdict of the red pen. He can immediately see if his paragraph is too long, if a sentence is misworded or if a time is incorrect.

 

He was asked about his text, encouraged if necessary to start over or improve it. Writing then becomes what it should always be: a dynamic process of testing, formative errors and continuous improvement.

Creation and personalization of activities: a flexible tool for each class

One of Ecrivor’s main strengths is its versatility. The tool is not limited to a single discipline and can be adapted to a multitude of educational objectives. Let's project ourselves into a few concrete class situations.

In French course, a 5th grade teacher wants his students to work on writing a short story with a simple past. It configures the activity on Ecrivor by targeting three skills: respect for the concordance of times, the use of at least five different adjectives and the insertion of a short dialogue. While his students are writing, one of them, who still confuses simple and imperfect past, is immediately alerted by the tool. Another is encouraged to enrich the description of his character. Technology is not a substitute for learning, it accelerates it by anchoring automation. The teacher, freed from a number of formal corrections, can devote his or her own return to the quality of the plot or the psychology of the characters.

Let's change discipline. In History-Geography, a third-grade teacher prepares her students for the certificate. The built development test is a challenge that mixes methodological knowledge and skills. She offers training on Ecrivor with the topic ‘Explain why the Cold War is a new kind of conflict’. Its criteria are clear: the text must include an introduction, two distinct parts introduced by logical connectors, and a conclusion. AI will not assess the historical relevance of the arguments, but it will guide the student in structuring their thinking. She will be able to tell him: "Be careful, your second paragraph seems very short" or "Think of using a linking word to introduce your conclusion". In this way, students learn to organise their ideas and to construct rigorous reasoning.

Finally, let's imagine a SVT Teacher who, after a classroom experience, request to draw up a report. The expectations are precise: the written text must comply with the stages of the protocol (material, manipulation, observation, interpretation). By setting Ecrivor to identify these keywords and verify the presence of each section, it accustoms students to adopt a rigorous scientific approach in their writings.

Track progress and differentiate easily

If the benefit to the pupil is obvious, the teacher is not left out. Ecrivor offers a Scoreboard It offers a comprehensive and detailed view of the work of the class. More interestingly, the tool keeps the history of the different versions of a text for each student.

At a glance, you can visualise the progress, see how the student has taken into account AI suggestions, and identify persistent bottlenecks. It is a great analytical tool This makes it possible to assess not only the final result but also the progress made.

This aspect makes it a very effective lever for pedagogical differentiation. The fastest pupils can seek to enrich their text by going further than the required criteria, while those who have more difficulties benefit from a personalised and constant support that allows them to move forward at their own pace, in complete autonomy. The interface also incorporates welcome accessibility options, such as a policy tailored to dyslexic students, enhancing its inclusive potential. Finally, to ensure the integrity of the work, copy and paste from external sources is simply disabled.

For the teacher, this system ofdrafting assistance drastically reduces the workload related to the first correction, while maintaining a high level of requirement and personalised follow-up of each learner. The teacher thus retains his or her central role as a guide and facilitator while receiving effective support for the most repetitive and time-consuming tasks.

A learning partner to be used methodically

From my point of view if Ecrivor proves to be an excellent Assistant for writing training, its use benefits from being thought strategically. In my opinion, the main challenge remains to make it a learning partner and not a digital crutch. I will use it alternately with non-assisted writing, so that students fully develop their own ability to proofread.

What if you tried the conversation?

Ultimately, Ecrivor proposes a vision of resolutely pedagogical artificial intelligence. The tool does not seek to impress with opaque technology, but to put itself at the service of the teacher and his objectives. It transforms the sometimes distressing moment of writing into a secure and interactive learning environment, where error is no longer a fault to be sanctioned but a useful information to progress.

By accustoming students to a constant dialogue with their own text, by encouraging them to read and correct themselves, Ecrivor helps to develop their critical thinking and their autonomy. The best way to judge the relevance of such a service is still to test it.

The Ecrivor tool Still in development is completely free during this phase. So why not create your first business? Your next writing session could well become, for each student, a real individualized training session.
