Use the Letter of Recommendation Tool

SchoolAI can help you create drafts for a letter of recommendation.

Updated this week

Being asked to write a letter of recommendation for a student is an honor. But sometimes it can feel hard to get started. SchoolAI can help.

To use the Letter of Recommendation Tool

  1. Go to Tools > Letter of Recommendation > Generate

  2. Enter the prompts required and upload supporting documentation if you’d like, then choose Generate

  3. The activities will appear in a text editor. You can make changes: highlight text and apply new AI Tools or press the backslash (/) key on your keyboard to open the options menu

  4. The document will save as you go. When you’re done, you can share it

Remember, the time-based activities that SchoolAI generates should be used as a first draft. Reviewing and customizing what you’ve built is important to make sure it works for the specific student.

AI Tools

Highlight text in the document and choose AI Tools to edit the text using AI. You can change the tone, translate, simplify, and more.

Options menu

When you’re editing a rubric, use the backslash key to open the options menu. You can generate AI text or images, charts, tables, bullets/numbers, and more.
