More room to keep learning
Great conversations shouldn't end just as a student is getting somewhere. Get Help and BusyBee Chat conversations now hold 50% more messages, so students can keep working through a tough concept.
As a conversation nears its end, BusyBee lets students know how many messages they have left. When they're out, they can select Reset to pick up in a fresh conversation.
Note: These results come from our internal testing, which ran the same tasks through BusyBee before and after the upgrade and compared the results. For the grading and question results, an AI model acted as the expert reviewer.
And we're just getting started.
