AI Assistant combines adaptive learning with agentic AI elements to help students practice independently, better understand mistakes, and continuously improve through personalized exercises and feedback.

Teachers can enable AI support within assignments to provide students with additional explanations, follow-up activities, and personalized practice based on individual performance. Teachers can also monitor each student’s AI-supported learning path and provide additional guidance when needed.

Students can generate Quizzes and practice activities from textbook pages, PDFs, images, or text prompts to continue learning at their own pace.

AI Assistant is available as an additional premium feature for users with active Individual Teacher, Family, School, and University plans.
