The purpose of this opinion piece is to explore the potential of ChatGPT as a virtual assistant for transnational educators in the context of Finnish education export. It examines the possibilities and limitations of utilising ChatGPT to support short-term teaching assignments abroad. Utilising Su and Yang's (2023) framework for using ChatGPT in education, it is argued that the cultural-linguistic, pedagogical, and practical support provided by ChatGPT can be highly effective and personalised, particularly in instances where it is difficult to offer timely support for short-term teaching abroad. However, it is recommended that users should exercise caution in evaluating the effectiveness of ChatGPT in achieving expected outcomes, consider the limitations of its capacity to generate accurate information and correct responses, and address ethical and legal considerations.
