Coach Pen vs a generic AI chatbot
Instant like a chatbot — but it teaches instead of doing it for you.
A general chatbot is fast and patient, but it will happily rewrite your essay, invent a rubric, and forget you by tomorrow. Coach Pen marks to the real criteria, coaches your own words, and remembers your progress.
