Three steps, no prompt-wrangling
You stay the designer. The AI just does the typing.
Most tools hand you a generic plan and hope it fits. Lorikeet starts from your intent — year level, learning area, the angle you want — and fills in the scaffolding.
Tell it your shape
Pick the year, learning area and state. Drop in your own angle, a stimulus text, or a unit you're already running.
It maps the curriculum
Lorikeet matches your topic to the exact ACARA v9 content descriptors and achievement standards — Foundation to Year 12, every learning area.
Edit, then export
Tune tone, length and reading level in a click. Send it to Google Slides, PowerPoint, Word or PDF and walk into class.
The honest comparison
Same job. Roughly half the bill.
Chalkie set the bar for AU-aligned, teacher-designed lessons. Lorikeet keeps the workflow and cuts the individual price — because most of the cost is margin, not model.
