## At a glance

**CuraAI teaching assistant levels are in beta.** This is the learner-facing helper on a lesson — labeled **CuraAI for Learners** in Lesson Settings. It is not the instructor **CuraAI Authoring Assistant** in the editor.

You turn it on per page and choose how much of the student’s work it can see. Because this is beta, try it on a practice lesson and tell us what is missing. Profile icon → **Get support** or **Give feedback**.

## Prerequisites

- Open a **Lesson** or **Code Exercise**. CuraAI for Learners is not available on exams, open-response pages, file-upload pages, or Linux machine pages.
- Lesson open → **Lesson Settings** in the right sidebar. See [Lesson Settings: group work & Student AI Chat](https://www.curacourse.com/help/lesson-settings-group-work-and-student-ai-chat).
- The CuraAI tutor is available on **Core** and **Pro**, not **Starter**. See [Course Billing](https://www.curacourse.com/help/course-billing).

## Turn it on and pick a level

1. Open the lesson in instructor view.
2. Open **Lesson Settings**.
3. Turn on **CuraAI for Learners**.
4. Choose a **CuraAI level**. Changes save automatically.

When it is on, learners see a CuraAI Teaching Assistant control on that page.

## Levels

| **Level** | **Name** | **What it can do** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **1** | Socratic content help | Answers questions about this page. Cannot see learner work. |
| **2** | Work-aware feedback | Can see learner work and give feedback in chat. Does not edit code. |
| **3** | AI-assisted coding | Can suggest inline code edits in a Code Editor. The learner accepts or rejects each suggestion. |

CuraAI will not hand out answer keys, hidden test expected output, or a complete solution to a graded exercise. At level 2 and 3 it may discuss the student’s own work on the page.

## Common gotchas

- This feature is in **beta**. Capabilities may still change.
- CuraAI for Learners is **off by default**. Turning it on for one page does not turn it on for the whole course.
- It is not available on **exams**.
- Level 3 only proposes edits to student-visible, editable Code Editor files, and only when the student asks. Hidden or read-only files are not edited.
- This is not the **CuraAI Authoring Assistant**. The authoring assistant helps you write the lesson; levels control what students can ask while they learn.
