# AI Assistant CodeGrade allows you to configure multiple AI assistants tailored to different educational purposes for an assignment. Here’s an overview of the available assistants and how to configure them: {% hint style="info" %} The AI Assistant is currently in Beta. Please email for more information on joining the Beta and getting access. {% endhint %} *** ### Types of AI Assistants **Learning Assistant** * Designed to focus on learning and understanding. * It does not provide direct coding answers but helps students understand principles, concepts, and feedback from AutoTest. **Feedback Assistant** * Can provide detailed feedback on code from a code quality perspective. **Coding Assistant** * A powerful tool that assists students with coding by generating code and providing solutions. This gives students unparallelled access to any coding questions. *** ### Student Access to AI Assistants * As an instructor, you can enable access to one or multiple AI assistants for students. * Students can start a new chat with any enabled assistant configuration. * The AI assistant is integrated into the **Editor**, allowing students to use it seamlessly while coding. * If you’re using **Git submission** or **File Uploader**, students can access the assistant through the **Submission** overview. * Both students and instructors can view and review all conversations with the assistant. *** ### Viewing Assistant Chats * When the AI assistant is enabled, a dedicated **Assistant Chat** tab appears in the Submission Overview.
