set up in ChatGPT

Three things, and the last one is optional.

• A Fiveable teacher account. You sign in with it when your AI app connects, and your AI app sees the classes and grading sessions in that account.
• ChatGPT, where Fiveable is in the plugin directory, or Claude on a plan that allows custom connectors. School-managed AI accounts often block outside apps, so many teachers connect a personal account.
• Optional: Google Classroom and Drive, connected once in a browser at fiveable.me/assignments. Google sign-in can’t run inside a chat.

Best for: Grading files you attach, Google Drive work read by ChatGPT’s own connector, and quick materials.

Fiveable for AP Teachers is in the ChatGPT plugin directory, so there’s no developer mode or server URL to set up. On a work or school workspace, your admin decides which apps you can add. Steps last checked October 15, 2026.

1. Open Fiveable for AP Teachers in the ChatGPT plugin directory with Add to ChatGPT.
2. Add it and sign in with your Fiveable teacher account. Read what Fiveable asks to do, then approve.
3. Start a new chat, add Fiveable for AP Teachers from the + menu, and ask: What can you do with my Fiveable account?

Then send this first message. It only reads your workspace, so nothing changes:

when Fiveable’s tools change

ChatGPT gets our tool updates once OpenAI approves them for the directory. If a tool still looks out of date, or you added Fiveable as a custom app in developer mode before it was listed, refresh the app in Settings, then Apps, or remove it and add it again.
