MrMckayComp's Higher and N5 Computing Bots

Generative AI can be a powerful coding partner and study helper. In the authority where I work, the school AI guidance would prevent pupils from logging in to most AI tools, because they require an individual sign-in. I developed these bots to make an accessible/compliant tool that doesn't require pupils to log in, and only answers questions on a narrow set of topics.

🟩 Higher Computing Bot

🟪 National 5 Computing Bot

✅ Safety and Features

• The bots are restricted to answering questions about N5 and Higher Computing.

• They don't require an individual sign in (just a school code, to help manage my usage cap) - so data isn't tracked for individual pupils. In my authority, at least, that means I can use it with pupils.

• The bots are trained on the relevant course specs, key terms, course notes, etc. 

🧑‍🏫Want a class code?

• It doesn't run for free (cloud computing costs can add up!), but I'm happy for you to experiment for a bit, before I work out how to fund it longer term.

• I only ask that you don't share the code beyond your school, and that you confirm you're a teacher (e.g. with a Glow email address). I wouldn't make it available to pupils directly.
