Works Where You Do
Import from Google Drive, copy into Google Docs with formatting intact, and use your TeamTeacher agents from Claude and ChatGPT — your work stays in sync.
Teachers already have tools that work. Google Drive is full of years of teaching materials. Google Docs is where the actual writing happens. Some teachers have started using Claude or ChatGPT for planning support. The last thing anyone needs is another platform that demands you abandon everything and start over.
TeamTeacher fits into the workflow you already have. Bring your materials in from Google Drive, copy finished content into Google Docs with formatting intact, and — if you use Claude or ChatGPT — call on your TeamTeacher agents without leaving those apps.
Google Drive: Bring What You Have
Your Google Drive is probably where most of your teaching materials live right now — unit plans, assessments, lessons, curriculum maps, accumulated over years of work. Import them directly into TeamTeacher.
The import works through Google's file picker. Select a Google Doc or Google Sheet, and it comes into your TeamTeacher document library as a searchable, referenceable document. Google Docs convert to formatted text. Google Sheets import as structured data. Your original files stay untouched in Drive.
This is a one-time import per file, not an ongoing sync — you're bringing a copy into TeamTeacher so your agents can work with it. Once it's in your library, it's part of the collection your AI agents can search and reference when you're working together.
You don't have to import everything at once. Most teachers start with the materials for their current units and add more as they need them.
Google Docs: Formatting That Survives the Paste
This one sounds minor until you've experienced the alternative. If you've ever copied a table from ChatGPT into Google Docs and watched it disintegrate — columns collapsing, formatting vanishing, bullet points turning into plain text — you know the frustration.
When you copy content from TeamTeacher's editor, the formatting travels with it. Tables stay as tables. Lists stay organized. Headings keep their hierarchy. You paste into Google Docs and it looks like what you copied. No cleanup pass, no manual reformatting, no wasted time.
This matters because Google Docs is where most teachers' materials end up — it's what gets printed, shared with colleagues, and distributed to students. The path from "AI helped me create this" to "I can actually use this" should be one copy-paste, not thirty minutes of reformatting.
Claude and ChatGPT: Your Agents Travel With You
If you already use Claude or ChatGPT, TeamTeacher Connector lets you call on your TeamTeacher agents directly from those apps. You don't switch windows or copy context back and forth — your agents come to where you're already working.
How It Works
TeamTeacher uses an open standard called the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — think of it like USB for AI apps, a common way for AI tools to share capabilities. In Claude, you add TeamTeacher as a Connector. In ChatGPT, you add it as an App. Either way, you authenticate once through a consent screen and your agents become available.
What You Get
When you call a TeamTeacher agent from Claude or ChatGPT, they bring their full capabilities:
- Curriculum knowledge bases — Minerva still knows IB, Diane still knows Minnesota standards
- Your documents — agents can search your saved teaching materials
- Web search — current information when you need it
- Other tools — notes, image generation, document management
Your agents work the same way they do in TeamTeacher because they are working in TeamTeacher — just responding back to the app you called from.
Everything Syncs Back
Every conversation your agents have — even when called from Claude or ChatGPT — appears in your TeamTeacher history. You can continue any conversation in the TeamTeacher web app, pick up where you left off, or reference the work later. Nothing gets lost in another app's chat history.
Custom agents you've built in TeamTeacher are available through the Connector too. That IB unit planning assistant you created? It works from Claude.
Getting Set Up
Setup takes a couple of minutes. You'll need a Claude or ChatGPT account that supports connectors or apps (paid plans), and your TeamTeacher account. Note: ChatGPT's app support currently requires Developer Mode, which is still in beta.
One Workflow, Not Three
The point isn't that TeamTeacher replaces Google Drive or Google Docs or Claude. It's that your teaching workflow shouldn't have walls between tools. Import your materials, work with AI agents who know your curriculum, get polished content back into the documents you actually share — and do it from wherever you happen to be working.
