When you are reviewing student code, you can generate AI Hints that will point out where the program can be improved. AI Hints can be accessed within the Code Editor.

💡 AI Hints are only available for teachers to generate. Students do not have the ability to generate AI Hints or feedback for themselves.

Using AI Hints in the Code Editor

  1. When viewing a student's code in the editor, click More > Conversation.

  2. Choose which type of Hint you would like to create and choose Generate Hint.

  3. Edit the message and once you are happy with the text, click Send to share the hint with the students.

  4. Optional: Give feedback on the hint that was generated!
