Asking Questions with AI Chat
In AI Chat, you can ask questions about subjects and course materials. To answer your question, the AI searches for and reads other materials in the same subject on its own. For general questions that are not specific to a subject, such as the grammar of a programming language or the meaning of an error message, the AI answers using its own knowledge without reading any materials.
Screens where you can open it
- Subject screen (list of classes and materials)
- Material screen (including the editing and review screens)
- Problem screen
Press the AIチャット button at the bottom right of the screen. On a wide screen, AI Chat opens on the right side. On a narrow screen such as a smartphone, it opens over the entire screen. To close it, press the close button at the top right of AI Chat.
If you move to a screen where AI Chat cannot be used while it is open, it hides automatically. When you return to a screen where it can be used, it appears again.
Chat history is separated by screen. A chat started on the problem screen does not appear in the history on the material screen. Press the history icon at the top right to open the chat history for that screen. The history is sorted with the most recent question at the top.
How to use it
- Press the new chat icon at the top right.
- Type your question and press
送信 (or Ctrl + Enter).
- The answer is displayed. If the AI referred to other materials, an operation such as 「教材「○○」を読みました」(“Read material ‘○○’”) appears above the answer, and the names of the referenced materials are shown at the end of the answer.
- If the AI answered without reading any materials, a
教材を確認して回答し直す (“Check materials and answer again”) button appears below the answer. Press it when you want an explanation that follows the subject's materials. The AI then reads the materials and answers the same question again, and the answer is replaced.
To open a previous chat, press the history icon and select it from the list. The back button on the history screen returns you to the chat you had open.
Example questions:
- Material screen: 「この教材の内容を要約して」(“Summarize the content of this material”), 「第 2 回の教材で説明されていた for 文との違いは?」(“What is the difference from the for statement explained in the material for lesson 2?”)
- Subject screen: 「第 3 回の教材には何が書いてある?」(“What does the material for lesson 3 cover?”), 「関数について説明している教材はどれ?」(“Which material explains functions?”)
- Problem screen: 「この問題の入力形式を教えて」(“Tell me the input format for this problem”), 「この問題で使う教材の該当箇所は?」(“Which part of the material is relevant to this problem?”)
What the AI can refer to
- The body of the open material, and on the problem screen, the problem statement
- Materials in the same subject (only published ones)
It does not refer to the following:
- Materials from other subjects
- Unpublished materials, materials where AI Chat is disabled, or the content of exam materials (you can check the material names and the reason they cannot be referenced)
- Submitted code or execution results (for advice on code, use the hint feature)
Notes
- Answers may contain errors. When material names are shown as references, please check those materials.
- Answers based on general knowledge are labeled as such. They may differ from the writing style or rules defined by the subject, so if you are unsure, press the
教材を確認して回答し直す button.
- If a subject has no materials that can use AI Chat, the button on the subject screen is not displayed.
- In the following materials, the
AIチャット button is not displayed on the material screen or its problem screens, and students cannot ask questions:
- Materials in real exam mode (regardless of whether the submission period is before, during, or after)
- Materials before the submission opening date and time (the button appears once the start time arrives)
- Materials where AI Chat is disabled
- Users with instructor permissions for a subject can use AI Chat and refer to the content of the subject's materials even for the materials above. Displaying instructor mode alone does not change permissions.
- Instructors can review chat contents and the materials referenced in them under
AIチャット履歴 (“AI Chat history”) in the organization settings.
