Default Tools

Diane has access to 15 specialized tools to assist with your tasks.

Search Documents

Search saved documents by title or contents.

This tool searches your saved documents' content using a combination of keywords and content to find the most relevant results.

Ask Perplexity

Make a call to Perplexity Sonar to get a well-researched answer.

This tool uses Perplexity AI Sonar to perform comprehensive web searches with synthesized, researched answers. Unlike simple search engines, Perplexity provides cited sources and contextual understanding. Best for research questions, current events, fact-checking, and queries requiring authoritative sources. Responses include citations and contextual analysis.

Save Document

Save a document to the user library.

This tool saves a new document to your library, including a generated title and markdown content, for easy retrieval later.

Get Document

Retrieve a specific document by ID.

This tool fetches a single document from your library using its ID, returning the title, description, content, and metadata for direct access to specific documents.

Edit Document

Edit an existing document with targeted operations.

This tool edits an existing document in your library. Supports full content replacement, targeted section replacement (by heading), appending content, and find/replace operations. Changes are saved immediately and the document is updated in real-time.

Manage Folder

Create or update folders for organizing documents and conversations.

This tool allows the AI to create new folders or update existing folder properties including name, description, and instructions. Folder instructions guide AI behavior for all conversations within that folder. Instructions are screened for safety.

Get Conversation

Retrieve or analyze a previous conversation.

This tool retrieves conversations by ID and provides flexible access to conversation data. You can get the full conversation history, generate a summary, or ask specific questions about the conversation content.

Search Conversations

Search across conversations by title or message content.

This tool searches your conversation history using full-text search. You can search by conversation title/description, message content, or both. Returns matching conversations with metadata and message snippets. Use get_conversation with a conversation nanoid to retrieve more information.

Phone a Friend

Call another TT agent to perform a task.

This tool allows your TeamTeacher agent to make a request to another TeamTeacher agent.

Search the Web

Search the web for current information, news, and financial data.

This tool searches the web using Tavily, an AI-optimized search engine. It supports multiple search topics (general, news, finance), adjustable search depth, time-based filtering, and can extract full page content. You can filter by specific domains and request AI-generated answers synthesized from results.

Edit Notes

Edit the conversation notes.

Tool to take and edit notes throughout the conversation. This helps the TeamTeacher stay on task and keep track of work done and other notes about the conversation. It acts as a shared scratchpad for you and the TT.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

Search the UDL KB.

The UDL Guidelines (version 2.2 and the 3.0 draft), the CAST Schoolwide Implementation Criteria, and a wide range of classroom tools for putting UDL into practice. Whether you're designing a lesson with multiple means of engagement, preparing for a UDL-focused observation, or leading schoolwide implementation, the AI can reference the specific guidelines, checkpoints, and planning tools that apply. The classroom tools collection covers observation and coaching (what to look for, how to track growth), lesson and assessment design, student self-reflection, and goal-setting. For school leaders, the knowledge base includes schoolwide readiness indicators, self-assessment tools, implementation planning resources, and guidance on antiracist UDL leadership. Enable this knowledge base alongside any curriculum KB, and the AI can apply UDL principles directly to your standards-aligned planning — building in multiple means of engagement, representation, and action from the start rather than retrofitting accessibility after the fact.

Minnesota

Search the Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards KB.

All Minnesota K–12 subject areas with standards content and implementation support, including learning progressions, instructional shifts, and assessment alignment charts. What makes this knowledge base distinctive is its depth beyond the core standards: it includes Indigenous education resources grounded in Dakota history and Minnesota tribal nations, English Language Development materials from Project Momentum for multilingual learner support, and PELSB licensing standards for professional educators. The Project Momentum collection is particularly deep — with ELD curriculum overlays by grade band, asset-based grading guides, individual language plan templates, translanguaging resources, and a full ESL licensure pathway handbook. If you're a Minnesota teacher working with multilingual learners or pursuing ESL licensure, the AI already has these tools at hand and can put them to work the moment you ask.

Knowledge Base Details

Get detailed information about a knowledge base.

Returns a detailed README for a specific knowledge base tool, including its contents, search capabilities, filtering options, and tips for effective searches. Use this to understand what a knowledge base contains and how to search it effectively before making queries.

Generate Image

Generate images using AI based on text prompts.

This tool uses image generation models from Google or OpenAI to create images from text descriptions. Supports long descriptions. Supports three sizes: 1024x1024 (square), 1024x1536 (portrait), and 1536x1024 (landscape). Generates one to four images per request.
