Starting a Chat Tutor
Open your class and click the Chat Tutor in the list (or use Assigned → Chat Tutor in the sidebar).
Check the Learning Objectives tab to see what the conversation will cover, then click Start Chat.
Choose Voice mode (talk to Kai out loud and hear responses) or Text mode (type your answers). You can switch at any time during the session.

During the chat
Kai starts the conversation and asks you guiding questions. The bar at the top shows which objective you're working on and how many are left. Click Speak on any of Kai's messages to hear it read aloud, or Switch to Voice to talk instead of type.
When you've met every objective, a panel appears saying "You completed all your Learning Objectives!" with a Submit button. If Kai asks you to submit, use Submit on that panel or Submit Session at the top right.
When you've finished, click Submit Session at the top right. Kai grades the chat, which can take a minute or two. Come back to the activity's Previous Sessions tab to see your score.
Your results
You'll see your score, which numbered objectives you completed, and a summary of your Strengths, Areas of Improvement and Follow-Up, alongside your full conversation. If your teacher allowed more attempts, click Retry Chat Session to try again.
Your teacher may adjust your score or add Additional Comments, which appear under Follow-Up. The updated score also shows in Previous Sessions and in your class's Grade column. Previous Sessions lists every attempt with its score, messages sent, duration and when you submitted it.
Note: All Chat Tutor conversations are monitored. Your teacher can read the transcript, and Knowt will alert them if anything unsafe or inappropriate comes up.
If you have any more questions, send our team a message. If you're already chatting with us, just ask here. Otherwise, open Profile in the bottom-left corner of Knowt, click Help and choose Contact Support.
