AI Tools
AI tools for GCSE English
Interactive GPT assistants for essay practice, paragraph feedback, quotation analysis, and more. Ask questions, get feedback, and practise exam technique with AI, available for both students and teachers.
What is a GPT, and how do you actually use one?
If you’ve never used a custom GPT before, here’s the short version before you buy anything.
What a GPT actually is
A GPT is a custom version of ChatGPT, built for one specific job. Instead of a general-purpose chatbot, each one here has been set up in advance with instructions, examples, and a fixed way of responding, so it behaves consistently every time, like a specialist tutor rather than a generic AI.
For example, the Macbeth Essay and Analysis GPT only ever responds the way a Macbeth-focused GCSE tutor would: asking about quotations, checking your analysis, and marking against the AQA mark scheme, rather than trying to be helpful with everything at once.
Each GPT pairs with one of our study guides where a match exists. The guide teaches the knowledge and the analysis; the GPT gives you somewhere to practise it interactively and get instant feedback.
How to use one, step by step
- Make sure you have ChatGPT Plus. This is a separate £20/month subscription directly from OpenAI, needed to run any custom GPT. Without it, the link won’t open the tool.
- Buy the GPT you want. Click “Get GPT” on any card below and complete the purchase on Gumroad.
- Open the link you receive. After payment, you’ll get a direct link that opens the GPT immediately inside ChatGPT. No installation, no setup.
- Start using it like a conversation. Paste in a quotation, an essay paragraph, or a question, and ask what you’d ask a tutor: “Is this a strong paragraph?”, “What quotation could I use here?”, “Mark this like an examiner would.”
- Come back to it any time. Once purchased, the GPT is yours to reuse throughout your revision, not a one-off session.
