FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which AI tool is best for students?

A general assistant is useful for explanations and brainstorming, while research tools help find sources and specialist tools support coding, languages or note-taking. The best choice depends on the assignment.

Can students use AI for homework?

Use depends on school and course rules. AI is safest as a tutor, brainstorming partner or editing aid; verify claims, cite original sources and do not submit generated work as your own.
