Purpose-Built Assistant Definitions
Define the assistant’s instructional purpose, expected behavior, and boundaries instead of relying on a transient chat prompt.
ClassLattice Assistants
Build Versioned, Vault-Grounded Assistants for a Defined Teaching Purpose
Create reusable instructional assistants with pinned sources, explicit behavior, answer-withholding rules, and teacher-controlled publication.
Why this workflow stays connected
ClassLattice Assistants are revisioned records with selected Vault grounding, preview-before-publish controls, and policies that define what the assistant may do.
Core capabilities
Vault-Grounded Context
Select authorized curriculum and artifact revisions so the assistant’s available context is deliberate and inspectable.
Answer-Withholding Policy
Configure learner-facing guidance to ask questions, offer hints, and support reflection without completing the assigned response.
Preview and Publish
Test the exact assistant revision before making it available, then retain the revision used by an activity.

Frequently asked questions
Can an assistant use my curriculum materials?
