Bloom's level: Creating
Planning Bot
A Tinybot that breaks a big task down into manageable steps. With short questions, it helps students clarify their goal, the order of steps, how long things will take and what resources they have. Useful before a presentation, a longer piece of writing or a group project.
What it's good for
- Planning projects
- Preparing presentations
- Planning experiments
- Organising group work
- Preparing longer written assignments
- Practical tasks with several steps
- Building learning-to-learn and organisational skills
Not suitable for: coming up with new ideas (use Brainstorming Buddy for that), explaining new material, revising material, or checking knowledge.

11 Tinybots. One for every stage of learning.
To make them easier to navigate, we’ve grouped the Tinybots into categories based on the revised Bloom’s taxonomy. The flower diagram shows the cognitive levels, named at the bottom of the image, with the individual Tinybots branching out from them at the top. The categories help Tiny set the right learning goals and assessment criteria, which we then use to give you and your students feedback on each conversation.
