NSWEduChat at school, ChatGPT at home: carry your study preferences with an AI profile

In Year 11 or 12 at a NSW public school, you may use NSWEduChat in class and ChatGPT or Gemini at home. Each one starts from scratch: it doesn't know your subjects, your level or how you like things explained. A short study profile gives you instructions to reuse where the tool and your school allow it.

Two tools, two jobs

NSWEduChat is the NSW Department of Education's own generative AI app. In September 2025, the department announced it would roll out to all public school students from Years 5 to 12. It's built for learning: the department says it doesn't give students full answers, and asks guided questions instead.

At home, you might use ChatGPT or Gemini for revision. They work differently, and your school's rules on AI still apply to anything you hand in.

What goes in a study profile

  • Your year and subjects: "Year 12: English Advanced, Maths Extension 1, Chemistry, Modern History."
  • How you learn best: "examples first", "step by step", "quiz me instead of telling me".
  • What you want help with: understanding, revision, practice questions, feedback on your own drafts.
  • What not to do: "don't write my essays for me".

Keep it safe, and follow the rules.

No passwords, student numbers or anything about other students. And check your school's rules on AI before using any tool for an assessment task.

Write it by hand

Write the four sections in a few lines. At home, paste it into the AI's settings or at the start of a new chat. At school, follow your teacher's guidance on how to use NSWEduChat.

The faster way: AI Profile, in Uncook

If you've already revised in ChatGPT or Gemini, Uncook's AI Profile writes the profile from your chats. On the chat page, click the Uncook icon and pick AI Profile. Read it, change what you want, then copy it where you need it.

Uncook doesn't read NSWEduChat. The profile is plain text. Paste it into NSWEduChat only if the tool accepts it and your school allows it; this is not a claim that NSWEduChat has a saved-profile setting.

AI Profile — Free with an account, within its own reading and usage limits. It uses no tasks from your balance.

Questions people ask

Can Uncook read my NSWEduChat chats? No. The extension doesn't read NSWEduChat.

Will a profile make ChatGPT do my work? That's not what it's for. Put "help me understand, don't do it for me" in your profile, and use AI for revision, not for assessment tasks your school doesn't allow it on.

Can I use it after the HSC? Yes. Update it for uni or work: your field, your goals, how you like answers.

We don't keep the conversations you bring. When you click Send to Uncook in the extension window, the extension sends the chat from your tab to our servers, encrypted, for up to 30 minutes, and we delete it as soon as your Uncook page opens it. What Uncook makes from it is kept as a task, for as long as our Privacy page says. Neither your chats nor your tasks are used to train AI models.
