Lesson context in
You provide the factual observation. The model is told to use that note only and not invent events, interventions, outcomes or skill levels.
InstructorLane uses OpenAI GPT-5 mini for tightly defined lesson-record tasks: it organises the factual note you submit into a concise, editable draft without becoming a general-purpose chatbot.
The model is selected for strong reasoning on precise, well-defined tasks. It receives only the lesson note and the options you have enabled, then returns structured fields that are quick to verify.

The cloud model is prompted and technically constrained to driving-lesson administration. It does not browse the web, answer unrelated questions or act as an authority on current law, DVSA decisions or Highway Code amendments.
You provide the factual observation. The model is told to use that note only and not invent events, interventions, outcomes or skill levels.
A strict response format limits the result to the summary, strengths, areas to revisit and next-plan fields used by InstructorLane.
You edit, reject or approve the result. The model cannot grade the pupil, decide test readiness or update a record by itself.
AI controls are available in Settings, so each instructor can choose how much assistance is appropriate for their workflow.

The production default is GPT-5 mini with low reasoning effort, a short input limit and a compact structured output. A daily fair-use limit protects the service from automated abuse, while a local analyser keeps the lesson workflow available if cloud AI is offline.

The same focused AI workflow, future supported improvements and product support are included in both monthly and annual subscriptions.
