AI LITERACY, MADE CREATIVE

AI Literacy, Made Creative

Teach Students With AI—Not Just About It

ReTell doesn’t just use AI for novelty—it uses it for narrative. As students shape stories, they also learn how AI works behind the scenes:


  • See how prompts shape outcomes
  • Get feedback from a built-in narrator
  • Understand tone, pacing, and structure from an AI’s point of view
  • Explore ethical and creative questions in a safe, scaffolded way
     

Whether you’re preparing students for the future of work or just want them to engage with reading again, ReTell turns AI into a hands-on storytelling partner.


How ReTell Preserves Canon Integrity

Creative—but Consistent

Every story you co-author with ReTell is designed to expand the original—not overwrite it. Here’s how we do it:


Source Analysis

ReTell maps timelines, major characters, tone, and setting from the uploaded or selected book.
 

Lore Locking

Events in your new story are kept parallel, prequel, or sequel—never contradicting key events in the original.
 

World-Consistent Choices

All creative options—like character names, roles, and tone—are filtered to match the original world.
 

Narrative Structure

The spinoff follows a time-tested framework to ensure growth, conflict, and payoff while maintaining internal logic.
 

This means—

You can confidently remix Shakespeare, Twain, or your own universe—without breaking the rules that made them compelling.

ReTell makes AI feel like a pencil, not a black box.
