AI tutor

The AI tutor sits beside the lab. When a learner is stuck on a step, they can ask it for a hint about that step. It knows which lab and step they’re on, so its answers are about the work in front of them.

How a hint works

Only the learner doing the lab can ask about it. A learner never sees an AI account or key; Peridot handles that for them.

Turn it on or off

In Settings, under AI tutor, an org admin switches it On (learners can ask the AI tutor for hints) or Off (no hints from the AI tutor).

Set a monthly limit

Set a Monthly limit in tokens, a measure of how much text the AI tutor reads and writes. When the month’s use reaches the limit, hints stop until the next month. Your plan may also have its own cap, shown beside the field. See Settings.

See how it’s used

Home shows the AI tutor’s use over the last 30 days against your limit, and AI tutor by offering shows which offerings ask most, with the number of questions.
