What is the AI assistant?
This is a set of AI-powered tools designed to assist educators in the process of story creation. These tools can be used while creating a new story or editing an existing, published story.
To understand more about how these tools are powered and Storypark's commitment to safe, responsible use of AI we recommend reading our AI Fact Sheet.
Giving feedback
Your feedback will directly shape the future of our AI tools. We will be using your feedback to help refine our AI tools, so their outputs are better and more aligned with what educators want.
Select Feedback or use the Was this helpful? button to let Storypark know how you think it could be improved.
Story review
Story review offers friendly, pedagogically aligned suggestions around things that might be missing or would enhance the quality of the story.
To get started, you’ll need to have already added some text in the story editor. Note: The minimum amount of text is ten words, but you'll get more detailed suggestions if the story is at least 3-4 sentences long.
It can be found within the side panel of the story editor next to the collaborate tab:
Select the Assistant tab to display and utilise story review alongside the story:
Tap the Review story button and once loaded you’ll receive suggestions on how the story could be extended, for example:
These could be suggestions like making connections to your curriculum or adding more detail on how you are going to extend the learning.
If you've added further detail and would like guidance on the updated story, select Review again underneath the suggestions to receive new ones:
Feedback on suggestions
Like a particular suggestion or think it needs some work? Use the thumbs up or thumbs down buttons. To give detailed feedback on a suggestion, select the speech bubble to the right of the thumbs:
Spelling and grammar
Spelling and grammar assistance allows you to have confidence in your documentation, as well as reducing review times.
To get started, you’ll need to have already added some text in the story editor.
Note: Currently spelling and grammar support is available for English language documentation. For stories written in English and additional languages, we recommend selecting portions of text, rather than applying spelling and grammar to the entire story.
Apply spelling and grammar to selected text
Click into the story editor and then highlight the text block you'd like to work with. Select the sparkly A icon in the editing bar at the top and then Fix spelling and grammar:
Once selected, the icon will momentarily buffer as it identifies the changes it needs to make. The text block will then have any necessary spelling and grammar fixes applied.
Apply spelling and grammar to an entire story
Select the spelling and grammar icon in the editing bar at the top:
The icon will momentarily buffer as it identifies the changes it needs to make to the story. Once done, the whole story will then have any necessary spelling and grammar fixes applied.
Translation
Translation allows you to write a story in the language you feel most comfortable with and then translate it to suit your audience, peers and families.
Stories can be written in any language, the current available languages to translate into are:
Chinese Mandarin
English
French
Japanese
Portugese
Spanish
To get started, you’ll need to have already added some text in the story editor. This can be typed or if your device has a dictation tool this can also be used.
Apply translation to selected text
Click into the story editor and then highlight the text block you'd like to work with. Select the sparkly A icon in the editing bar at the top, this will display a drop-down list of languages which you can select from:
Once selected, the icon will momentarily buffer as it identifies the changes it needs to make. The text block will then have the translation applied.
Apply translation to an entire story
Select the sparkly A icon in the editing bar at the top, this will display a drop-down list of languages which you can select from:
While the translation tool works paragraph by paragraph, the icon will momentarily buffer. Once done, the whole body of the story will be translated into the language of your selection:
Reverting a translation
If you've accidentally applied a translation, simply use the undo tool (back arrow) in the tool bar to revert back to the previous version:
Note: Currently, it's not possible to include story titles in translations.
