Questions
The honest answers.
- Is my practice private?
- Yes. We value your privacy and your academic freedom, so we built Greenroom as an encrypted platform where every faculty member keeps their own account and their own data. Your rehearsals and reflections are encrypted to you; we can't read them, and neither can your institution.
- Can my college see this?
- No. Nothing about your practice is reported to your college. We did, however, build tools you can use to share your own professional growth on your own terms — a Practice Record you can bring to an annual review or a promotion case, if and when you decide that serves you.
- Is this the same AI my students use to cut corners?
- It's a different use of the same kind of technology. Here it's your private practice partner — a stand-in for a student so you can rehearse — and your students never interact with it. The point isn't to outsource the work; it's to prepare for it.
- Why would I pay when free chatbots exist?
- Honestly, a free chatbot can hold a basic role-play, and our free tier covers that well. Pro is for the things a blank chatbot can't offer: students grounded in real community college data who don't fold the moment you're firm, a record of your growth across a year, a credible artifact for your career, and encrypted privacy. If the free tier is all you ever need, we're glad to provide it.
- Are you trying to replace faculty with AI?
- The opposite. Greenroom exists to help you do the irreplaceably human part of teaching better. It coaches the practice; it never steps into the classroom.
- What if I accidentally include a student's name?
- You don't have to worry about it. Greenroom is built so you never need to share anything identifying — write “a student,” “my colleague,” “my college.” And if something slips in when you build your own scenario, we catch it: every submission is scrubbed for names, IDs, emails, and institutions before it's saved, and you see exactly what changed and confirm before anything is stored. Nothing you submit reaches the shared library without a human reviewing it first.
- Is it really free?
- Yes, and not as a trial. Four full scenarios with complete coaching, for as long as you teach.
