## Abstract (arXiv)

The case study examines the impact of the CGScholar (Common Ground Scholar) AI Helper on a pilot research initiative involving the writing development of 11th-grade students in English Language Arts (ELA). CGScholar AI Helper is an evolving and innovative web-based application designed to support students in their writing tasks by providing specified AI-generated feedback. This study is one of six interventions. It involved one teacher and six students in a diverse school with low income students and explored to what extent customized AI-driven feedback can support students' writing development. The findings suggest that the implementation of AI Helper supported the development of students' writing in a number of ways. It also elicited suggestions from the teacher and students about ways of improving the still in development tool.
