From a working teacher who builds with AI
I'm David Bassin. I teach high school history and economics, and I build AI tools that save real hours. I'll show your teachers or your team the AI tools they're not using yet, in plain language, and help you put them to work.

AP Macro answer key
A price ceiling set crossed out: above, corrected to: below the equilibrium price causes a shortage.
Checked before it reaches a student.
Essay score, AI as first reader
AI score, crossed out: 79, my grade: 96 out of 100
A 17-point miss. I check every score.
What I can show your teachers
Every workshop is hands-on. Teachers bring something they teach and leave with something they made and checked, ready to use.
Turn the school calendar into a day-by-day plan for the year, with tests on exam days and room for sick days. I plan my AP Macro and Global History years this way, with every topic on a named day.
Teachers leave withA first draft of their own year plan.
Take a unit you already teach and build a review game students can play on a phone or on the projector. I built seven AP Macro games and a whole-class trading-floor game this way.
Teachers leave withA playable game for an upcoming unit.
Let AI draft report card comments and the weekly email, move grades between systems without retyping, and keep your judgment for the parts that matter. Student names come out before anything goes to AI.
Teachers leave withOne weekly task that takes minutes instead of hours.
AI gets facts, quotes, and scores wrong. Teachers learn the quick checks I use before anything reaches a student, like the AI score of 79 on an essay that earned a 96.
Teachers leave withA short checklist for any AI output.

Two short demos: the AI check I teach teachers, and a round of a game like the ones I help them build.

For ed-tech teams
Let's talk
I put your product or AI-made content through a real school week and tell you what works in class and what gets in the way.
This isn't a sales call. It's a teacher sitting down and asking, "Show me what's eating your time." If AI is not the answer, I will tell you.
Proof from my classroom
I teach 106 students a year in AP Macroeconomics and Global History. Everything I show teachers, I built and tested in my own room.
AP Macroeconomics
Seven games for the skills the AP exam grades, with a one-line why after every answer and a readiness panel that tells each student what to play next.
Global History
A 3D review game where Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau teach inside the world. 213 voiced lines, and it runs on a phone.
At my school
I'm on my school's AI Task Force. This is the same work I offer other schools.
For small businesses
Owners tell me what's eating their time. I build the fix, then walk them through it until they can run it themselves.
A pergola construction company
After a call, the owner records a voice note. AI writes it down, pulls out the names, addresses, and job details, matches existing customers, and saves everything to the database. No paperwork at the end of the day.
A plumbing company
When a call ends, AI writes down what was said and pulls out the job, the address, how urgent it is, the price quoted, and the next step. A new deal shows up in the CRM, built to work with the phone number and CRM a business already has.
A customer calls
Caller: "Hi, I have a big leak in my bathroom. I'm at 12 Oak Lane. Can someone come today?"Office: "Yes. A tech can be there in about an hour. The visit is $150."
AI pulls out the job
A new deal is waiting in the CRM
Leak repair, 12 Oak Lane $150, Emergency
A solo law practice
An AI workflow that pulls details from emails, phone notes, and intake forms into the case management system, so nobody spends half a day copying them by hand.
What the workflow does
With a university financial aid counselor
The federal aid formula misses regional cost of living and K-12 tuition. This dashboard adjusts for both with real economic data and shows each step of the math, so the counselor can explain every number.
Two small-business owners I built tools for.
"I was spending hours every week just organizing new client information: pulling details out of emails, phone notes, and intake forms into our case management system. David built us an AI workflow that handles the extraction automatically. What used to take my paralegal half a day now takes minutes. But the best part is he actually showed us how it works so we're not dependent on him."
"I was keeping track of everything in my head: customer calls, job estimates, follow-ups. David built me a system where I just talk into my phone after a call and it does the rest. Names, addresses, job details: it all goes straight into the database. I'm not a tech guy at all, but he walked me through everything so I actually understand how it works."
Working together
We talk about your school, your product, or your business, and what is eating your time. You leave with ideas either way.
One workshop for your teachers, or one tool built for one real problem. Something you can see working within a few weeks.
Add coaching or monthly help, or run it yourselves. Either way, your team understands everything we build.

Who you will work with
I teach AP Macroeconomics and Global History to 106 students a year at a high school on Long Island, and I have worked in schools since 2016. Before teaching, I worked in IT support for 100+ people.
On my school's AI Task Force, I run demos for the faculty, coach teachers one-on-one, and helped write our AI rules. Outside school, I build AI tools for small businesses.
Why a teacher
Most people don't need more AI hype. They need someone patient who has done it in a real job and can explain it simply. That's what teachers do all day.
