What is the Learning Heroes Assistant and how does it work?
The Learning Heroes Assistant is a chat feature that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to provide answers to your questions. To do that, it gathers information from our vast library of content and resources. Our content covers research based resources and tips for parents and families to help support their child’s social, emotional, and academic development as well as resources from Understood.org that address key learning differences, ADHD, and much more. And all of it is expert-reviewed.
Here’s the more technical answer if you’re interested: It uses OpenAI’s GPT-4 model — the same technology that’s behind ChatGPT. It interprets your questions and crafts accurate, human-like responses. The Learning Heroes Assistant only shares information from Understood.org, BeALearningHero.org, and GoBeyondGrades.org. So you always know that the answers are from a reliable source.
