EdCafe AI

AI Content Generator for Educators

Same topic. Same AI.

With Flip Education

Students receive printed materials for a structured jigsaw activity. Each group investigates a different angle, then teaches the class. The methodology, timing, handouts, and SEL objectives are all part of one cohesive plan.

No screens needed Pedagogy-driven Curriculum-aligned

With EdCafe AI

The teacher generates a worksheet, a quiz, and a rubric in separate tabs. Each piece is a standalone PDF. Connecting them into a lesson with a pedagogical arc is up to you.

Where Flip Leads

What Flip does better

A lesson, not a stack of resources

EdCafe generates individual content items: a worksheet here, a quiz there, a rubric for something else. Flip generates a single connected lesson experience where the objectives, activities, materials, and SEL outcomes are designed to work together.

Built around how students actually learn

Every Flip lesson is structured around one of 48 research-backed pedagogies. The methodology shapes the activity design, the discussion prompts, and the materials. EdCafe generates content; Flip designs learning experiences.

Social and Emotional Learning integrated by default

SEL competencies are mapped to every Flip lesson at generation time. Teachers get self-awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making woven into the lesson structure, without a separate SEL tool or manual tagging.

Curriculum alignment across 10 countries

Standards alignment for US, UK, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Colombia, Chile, India, and Singapore is built into the generation process. Teachers in any of these countries get lessons that match their required curriculum.

Designed for offline classroom delivery

Flip lessons are built to run without student devices. Activities are physical: students move, debate, build, and collaborate. Print-ready materials are a core output, not an afterthought.

Honest Acknowledgement

Where EdCafe AI wins

We think Flip is the better lesson planning tool. We also think you should know what it doesn’t do yet.

Wide variety of content types

EdCafe covers many individual asset types: worksheets, quizzes, rubrics, exit tickets, and more. If your primary need is producing isolated content pieces quickly, EdCafe is designed for that workflow.

Fast content generation at scale

For teachers who need to produce a high volume of individual resources in a short time, EdCafe can generate them quickly. Flip is built around complete lessons, which takes more generation time.

Focused on assessment assets

If your immediate need is assessment-heavy, rubric generation, quiz creation, or formative check-in tools, EdCafe has a strong focus there that suits a supplementary resource workflow.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

What is the difference between Flip Education and EdCafe AI?

EdCafe AI generates individual educational content items, worksheets, quizzes, and rubrics, that teachers assemble themselves into a lesson. Flip Education generates a complete lesson experience in one step: objectives, step-by-step activities, materials, SEL mapping, and curriculum alignment are all part of the single output.

Does EdCafe AI support curriculum standards alignment?

EdCafe has some alignment features, but coverage is more limited than Flip. Flip aligns to curriculum standards across 10 countries, with the alignment embedded in the generation process rather than applied as a filter after the fact.

Can I use Flip Education for free?

Yes. You can try Flip Education for free. A free tier is available for ongoing use, with paid plans offering higher volume and additional features.

Does Flip Education include Social and Emotional Learning?

Yes. Every Flip lesson maps to SEL competencies automatically: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. EdCafe does not include SEL integration in its content generation.
