What Corra cannot do, and some things it never will
By The Corra team · · 2 min read · Product
This is the list of things Corra cannot do, kept public on purpose. Some are temporary and on the roadmap; others are deliberate and permanent. Publishing it makes the limits harder to quietly walk back later, and it is more useful to a teacher deciding whether to try the product than another page of features.
Not built yet — on the roadmap
Corra is in early access. These exist as designs and are being built one at a time; they are described in the future tense everywhere on this site precisely because they are not finished.
- Roster import from Google Classroom, Canvas, Clever and similar. Entry is manual today.
- Grade write-back to an LMS.
- Most of the twelve teaching modules — grading, planning, differentiation, assessment, behaviour, family communication, substitute plans, special-education paperwork and administrative forms.
- Mobile app builds. Corra runs in the browser today and installs as a progressive web app.
Deliberately not built — and not planned
These are decisions rather than gaps, and each has a reason we are willing to defend in public.
- AI-writing detection. Detectors are biased against multilingual writers and produce accusations software cannot support.
- Student and parent accounts. Corra has one kind of user, the teacher, and adding student-facing surfaces would change the product’s privacy obligations entirely.
- Being a gradebook of record. Your SIS or LMS keeps that job.
- Selling, renting or sharing student data. Not now, not as a business model later.
- Automatic AI writes without review. Every suggested change is staged for approval, and there is no setting to switch that off.
Real constraints worth knowing
Some limits are neither roadmap nor principle — they are simply the shape of the thing.
- Corra cannot grant you permission to use it. Your district’s rules about third-party tools still apply.
- De-identification removes identifiers; it cannot make a detailed description of a small class unrecognisable to someone who knows that class.
- AI output can be wrong in ways that read as confident. The review step exists because of this, not despite it.
- It is free and provided as-is, with no uptime guarantee. Anything that belongs in your school system of record should live there.
- It is built by one independent developer, so support is a real person answering email rather than a 24-hour desk.
How this page stays honest
When something on the first list ships, it moves off it, and the post is dated so you can see when that happened. The second list is not expected to change — if it ever does, the reasoning will be published here rather than the item quietly disappearing.
Common questions
- Why publish your limitations?
- Because a teacher evaluating a tool needs to know where it stops, and finding out after a term of use is worse for everyone. It also makes it harder for us to quietly reverse a principle.
- When will the remaining modules ship?
- We are not putting dates on them. A missed public date is a worse signal than no date, and the app already marks each module as available or still in build.
