How to make AI tasks that fit your own class

Many teachers have tried AI for making tasks and noticed the same thing: the result is fluent but generic. It does not fit the level of your own group, it does not refer to what has been done in class, and it does not take local emphases into account. Often the students notice too that the task was made by a machine.

The reason is simple. General-purpose AI writes on any topic, but it does not know your group or your curriculum. The good news is that the genericness is fixed when you give the AI the right context.

Give context, not just a topic

A bare topic produces a generic result. “Make tasks on fractions” leads to average textbook tasks. When you add context, the result sharpens: which grade level, which objective, what has already been practised, where students usually stumble.

The concrete difference shows immediately. When you tell it the group has practised addition with fractions that share a denominator and that different denominators come next, you get tasks that build on the previous one. The task is no longer just any fraction task. It is the next step for exactly your group.

Start from your own material

The fastest way to get tasks that fit is to start from material that has already worked. You bring your own text or task set to the AI as a basis and ask for variations of it. This way you keep your own voice and structure, and the AI does the mechanical work, such as variations and levels.

This applies to old material too. Years of accumulated working tasks are the best starting point, not an empty prompt.

Check and finish, do not use as is

The AI recommendations of the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture and the Finnish National Agency for Education state that staff assess outputs before use (Opetushallitus 2025). This also matters for quality. The AI’s first suggestion is rarely finished. Remove the parts that do not fit your group, adjust the vocabulary to your own, and make sure the task practises exactly the competence you are aiming for.

This is exactly where the teacher’s pedagogical expertise makes the difference between generic and tailored material.

How Bruukki helps

Bruukki is built for this. When you set up your school and choose the subject and grade level, Bruukki takes the objectives, contents and assessment criteria of the selected curriculum into account as you make the material. You can bring your own material as a basis and get variations of it. The AI suggests, you decide what goes to your students.

Where to start

Choose one task set that you are making this week anyway. Give the AI the grade level, the objective and your own base material, and see how close to your own style you get. Once the way of working is familiar, you can repeat it for the next topics.
