About
Diffit is an AI-powered educational tool built for teachers who need to differentiate instruction across diverse classrooms without spending hours on prep. Teachers can generate custom instructional materials from any topic, PDF, text, link, video, or vocabulary list, specifying grade level, language, standards alignment, and reading level upfront to ensure every student gets appropriately scaffolded content. The platform is built around research-based differentiation strategies, allowing educators to serve students above, at, and below grade level with the same core content at different complexity tiers. Diffit also provides robust support for English Language Learners (ELL/MLL), offering scaffolds and translation features to help multilingual students access grade-level material while developing English proficiency. Teachers can fine-tune generated content by adjusting standards alignment, question depth-of-knowledge (DOK) levels, target vocabulary, and activity types including critical thinking and literacy tasks. All materials export directly to Google Docs, Slides, Forms, and Classroom, as well as Microsoft 365 and PDF — and every export remains fully editable for easy customization. In a survey of 2,500+ teachers, 96% said Diffit saves them time, 93% said it reaches students where they are, and 86% said it makes them a better teacher. Diffit is trusted by thousands of schools and districts and is backed by leading student privacy certifications, making it a safe, scalable solution for modern K-12 classrooms.
