Your Knowledge Base

Build your personal teaching library with semantic search, Google Drive imports, and always-findable documents.

Build and maintain your personal teaching library in TeamTeacher. Save every lesson, unit, assessment, and resource you create with powerful semantic search that makes everything instantly findable.

The Problem: Lost Teaching Materials

How many times have you:

  • Recreated a lesson you know you made last year
  • Spent 20 minutes searching for "that perfect handout"
  • Lost track of resources scattered across folders
  • Wished you could find "something about photosynthesis for 8th graders"

Generic file storage doesn't understand what you're looking for. Folder structures break down. Search requires exact filename matches.

TeamTeacher's Solution

Semantic Search That Understands Meaning

TeamTeacher uses AI-powered semantic search to find documents based on what they're about, not just what they're named:

Instead of searching for: "grade_8_photosynthesis_lab_2023_v2.pdf"

Just search for: "hands-on activity about plant respiration for middle school"

The AI understands the meaning and finds relevant documents even if they don't contain those exact words.

Rich Document Storage

Every document in TeamTeacher maintains:

  • Full formatting - Tables, lists, headings preserved
  • Metadata - Tags, creation date, last modified
  • Context - Which conversation created it
  • AI summaries - Automatic excerpt generation

Google Drive Integration

Import existing resources directly from Google Drive:

  • Maintain your existing folder structure
  • Sync changes automatically
  • Search across both TeamTeacher and Drive files
  • One unified library

Conversation Context

Link documents to conversations:

  • Reference past lessons while planning new ones
  • Find the conversation where you created something
  • See how ideas evolved over time
  • Build on previous work instead of starting from scratch

Real-World Use Cases

Finding Last Year's Materials

"Show me all the lab activities I created for Grade 7 biology about cells."

Instantly see every relevant document, even if they're named different things or stored in different folders.

Building Unit Resources

"Find all my resources about World War II for high school students."

Pull together:

  • Lesson plans
  • Primary source documents
  • Assessment materials
  • Student handouts

All in one search, ready to build into a complete unit.

Reusing Successful Lessons

"What activities did I create about fractions that students really engaged with?"

Find lessons, see which conversations created them, and read the AI's suggestions for what made them effective.

Sharing with Colleagues

"Show me my best differentiated reading activities for struggling learners."

Compile resources to share with colleagues, all in one place with proper formatting intact.

Organization That Scales

Folders and Tags

Organize documents with:

  • Hierarchical folders - Nest folders for complex organization
  • Multiple tags - Tag documents with subjects, grade levels, standards
  • Smart collections - Auto-generate collections based on tags or metadata

Automatic Categorization

TeamTeacher suggests:

  • Relevant tags based on content
  • Connections to similar documents
  • Appropriate folder locations
  • Related conversations

Growing Library

Your library gets more valuable over time:

  • Each saved document adds to searchable knowledge
  • Patterns emerge across your teaching
  • Build on successful approaches
  • Never lose good work again

Technical Details

TeamTeacher uses:

  • Embeddings - AI-generated semantic representations of document content
  • Qdrant database - Fast similarity search across thousands of documents
  • Contextual ranking - Results ranked by relevance to your query
  • Metadata filtering - Combine semantic search with tag/folder filters

Privacy and Security

Your documents are:

  • Private by default - Only you can see your library
  • Securely stored - Enterprise-grade Supabase infrastructure
  • Never used for training - Your content remains yours
  • Exportable - Download all your documents anytime

Stop Recreating What You Already Made

The average teacher spends 7-12 hours per week planning lessons. How much of that time is spent recreating materials you know you made before?

Build your teaching library once. Find it instantly. Reuse endlessly.
