CodeHS Ask AI
A teaching assistant built into CodeHS. Ask in plain language to explore the curriculum, assign work, and find what you need without leaving the platform.
A teacher tool, so students don't have access. Ask AI doesn't touch student data unless you turn that on.
Pick a persona. Ask a question.
Each persona comes with its own starter prompts. Pick one below, then tap a prompt to see the kind of answer you get.
The personas and starter prompts are the real ones. Answers are examples.
One assistant for the whole platform
Ask AI can also answer questions about your sections, point you to features, and search the Knowledge Base.
Explore and discover courses
Find courses by topic, grade level, or programming language. Search by state standards, AP, or CSTA. Compare two courses, browse pathways, or look at Spanish-language and CodeHop offerings.
Find teaching resources
Syllabi, sample lesson plans, handouts, tutorials, and PD. Discover programming projects by language, find Power Ups, and look up what a certification covers.
Assign and manage content
Assign lessons or modules straight from the chat, review what's currently assigned, and update due dates, availability, and grading settings without leaving the conversation.
Review classroom data
Ask AI has no access to your students' data unless you turn it on from the gear icon. With it on, it can summarize student progress, gradebook and quiz performance, recent activity, section trends, and Academic Integrity insights.
Six personas, each built for a job
Ask AI runs as General by default. Switch any time from the menu at the bottom of the chat box.
Data Analyst
Evaluates student progress, grades, and class trends. Needs student data turned on first.
Try Data AnalystOn Both CodeHS and CodeHop
The same assistant works on both platforms, so elementary and secondary teachers get the same help.
