How do educators apply?

Three steps, and the only thing we need from you is a public page that shows you teach.

1
Create a free account, or sign in
Any email address works. You do not need a .edu address, so district, .org, and international institutional addresses are all fine.
2
Open the educator application
Tell us your institution, the course you teach, roughly how many students, and a public page that shows your role: a faculty or staff directory listing, a course page, or a syllabus with your name on it.
3
We review by hand and switch you to Pro EDU
You will get a welcome email when it is done. Until then nothing on your account changes, so you can keep working on the free plan.

Lecturers, adjuncts, and instructors of record

How educators use GenogramAI in class

From a five-minute live demo to a semester-long self-genogram assignment.

Live demonstrations

Describe a family in plain language and watch the genogram appear on screen, then edit it live as students call out corrections.

Assignment templates

Publish a starter genogram. Students copy it as a template, complete it, and export a PNG or PDF to submit.

Self-genogram assignments

Counseling, MFT, and social work programs use the self-genogram as a reflective assignment. Students keep their work private in their own account.

Standard notation, every time

Students learn the McGoldrick and Gerson symbols with 64 relationship types and medical condition quadrants built in, so submissions are consistent and easy to grade.

From paper to digital

Photograph a hand-drawn genogram from a workshop or exam and import it with AI (included in Pro EDU), then clean it up together.

Runs on anything

Browser-based, so it works on Chromebooks, iPads, lab Macs, and student laptops with nothing to install.

For your students

The free plan covers an assignment

2 projects with up to 50 people each
5 AI credits a month
PNG export for submissions
No credit card, nothing to install

If they want Pro

Students with an academic email address see a $29 first-year Pro rate inside the app, well below the regular Pro price. For a department or program-wide license, talk to us through the enterprise page.

Frequently asked questions

Who qualifies for a free educator account?

Anyone who teaches with genograms: professors, associate and assistant professors, clinical faculty, lecturers, adjuncts, teaching assistants running a section, program directors, and K-12 teachers or school counselors who use genograms in the classroom. Students should use the free plan or the student rate instead.

Is it really free, and for how long?

Yes. Approved educators are moved to the Pro EDU plan at no charge, with no card on file. It does not expire while you are teaching. We may occasionally ask you to reconfirm your role.

How do you verify educator status?

We ask for a public page that shows your role: a faculty or staff directory listing, a course page, or a syllabus with your name on it. Applications are reviewed by a person, not a script, so if your institution does not publish a directory, a departmental page or a professional profile that lists your teaching role also works.

I do not have a .edu email address. Can I still apply?

Yes. The application works with any email address. K-12 and international educators often have district, .org, or national domain addresses, and that is fine. The public verification page is what we check.

How long does approval take?

Applications are reviewed by hand, usually within a few days. You will get a welcome email when your account has been switched to Pro EDU. Nothing changes on your account until then, so you can keep using the free plan in the meantime.

Do my students get Pro too?

Not automatically. The free plan covers a typical assignment: two projects, up to 50 people per project, five AI credits a month, and PNG export, with no credit card required. Students with an academic email address see a $29 first-year Pro rate inside the app. For a department-wide license, use the enterprise page.

Can I share example genograms with my class?

Yes. Publish a genogram to the gallery or share a read-only link, and embed it in your LMS or slides. Students can copy a published genogram as a template and build on it in their own account.

Can I use my educator account for clinical work?

Pro EDU is meant for teaching, research, and demonstration genograms. If you also see clients and need to store protected health information, the Clinical plan adds zero-knowledge encryption and a HIPAA-ready clinical mode.
