MaverickAI is an AI writing assistant built into the LineLeader message composer. Type your key points, pick a tone, and MaverickAI turns them into a polished message you can review before it goes out.
This article covers how to turn MaverickAI on, how to use it in the composer, and answers to common questions.
Who it's for: Anyone who sends messages to families from the message composer.
Where it works: The message composer on Manage desktop and in the Engage app. Not currently available in LineLeader Enroll.
What you need: MaverickAI must be enabled by an administrator in Admin settings.
1. Turn On MaverickAI (Admins)
MaverickAI is available to every LineLeader customer, but it is off until an administrator enables it. Only users with admin access can change this setting.
Go to Admin settings and find the MaverickAI section. [Add the exact navigation path here, e.g. Admin > Settings > Messaging.]
Under Enhance with MaverickAI, click Enable MaverickAI.
Under Who can use MaverickAI, choose which roles can access the tone drafting tools in the message composer:
Admins & Staff: Everyone with message center access can enhance messages.
Admins only: Only administrators can enhance messages with AI.
When MaverickAI is on, the section reads "Currently enabled."
Change who has access
Open the same section and select the other option under Who can use MaverickAI.
Turn MaverickAI off
Open the same section and click Disable MaverickAI.
2. Enhance a Message with MaverickAI
Once MaverickAI is enabled and you have access, the Enhance with MaverickAI option appears in the message composer, on desktop and in the Engage app.
Open the message composer and start a new message.
Select your recipients and add a subject.
In the message box, type your notes the way they come to mind. Short phrases, missing punctuation, and rough wording are fine.
Under Enhance with MaverickAI, click a tone (see the list below). MaverickAI generates a draft in that tone.
Review the draft that appears below the tone buttons. From there you can:
Use this draft to replace your original text with the draft.
Keep original to discard the draft and keep what you typed.
Click the refresh icon to generate a new draft in the same tone.
Click the X to close the draft.
Edit the message if you want to change anything, then click Send.
Always read the draft before you send. MaverickAI changes your wording, not your facts, but you are the final reviewer of every message that goes to families.
Add style constraints
Click the gear icon next to Enhance with MaverickAI to add optional style constraints. Use them to tell MaverickAI how to write your draft, such as "keep under 150 words" or "include a call to action."
Example
| Message |
What you type | its almost time for our field trip to the zoo make sure forms are signed and in. thanks to the parents coming with us to watch the kids everyone is really excited |
Friendly draft | Our field trip to the zoo is coming up soon! Please make sure permission forms are signed and turned in. We're so grateful to the parents who will be joining us to help supervise the children. Everyone is really excited about this trip! |
3. Choosing the Right Tone
The same notes can sound very different depending on the tone you pick. If the first draft isn't right, click a different tone to try another version, or use the refresh icon for a new take in the same tone.
Tone | Good for |
Fun | Events, spirit days, celebrations |
Friendly | Everyday updates, field trips, reminders |
Neutral/Plain | Straightforward information with no extra flavor |
Professional | Policy updates, formal announcements |
Reassuring | Schedule changes, concerns, anything a parent might worry about |
Serious | Safety notices, incident follow-ups |
Warm & Encouraging | Milestones, welcome messages, positive feedback |
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to install anything or retrain my team? No. MaverickAI is part of the message composer.
Will MaverickAI change names, dates, or other details in my message? It shouldn't. MaverickAI reshapes your wording, not your facts. Names, dates, and details stay as you typed them. Still, read every draft before you send it.
What if I don't like the draft? Click Keep original to go back to what you typed, click the refresh icon for a new draft in the same tone, or pick a different tone.
I don't see Enhance with MaverickAI in the message composer. What should I check?
Ask an administrator to confirm MaverickAI is enabled in Admin settings.
If your administrator chose Admins only, only admins will see it. Ask them to switch to Admins & Staff if your team should have access.
Confirm you have message center access.
If it still doesn't appear, contact support.
