RedCritter Launches AI Powered PBIS System

RedCritter has launched CritterCoin, a new automated system for positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) built on ChatGPT.

According to the company, the system provides automated rewards in the form of digital coins, which can be tracked on an individual and group basis ("houses") and used to purchase rewards in a school's rewards shop.

CritterCoin offers "Quests" that allows school to automate their PBIS programs. Some examples of CritterCoin's functionality includes: interviews with historical figures, quizzes, language instruction, coding instruction, behavior and intervention tracking, and rewards and recognition.

"Millions of teachers are already using OpenAI's ChatGPT to create lesson plans and materials," said Mike Beaty, CEO of RedCritter, in a prepared Statement. "Our patent-pending technology takes ChatGPT beyond chat and transforms it into a fully automated school-wide PBIS solution that can automate tutoring, behavior correction, student recognition, issuing rewards, and even help with fund-raising."

Further details about CritterCoin can be found at crittercoin.com.
