How do I use the whiteboard in the AI chat?

On the whiteboard, Knowie explains a topic out loud and draws and writes on the board as it goes.

Start a lesson

1. Open the AI chat and open the menu.
2. Tap Whiteboard.
3. Ask your question in one of these ways:
   • Type it in Ask anything... and tap Send.
   • Tap the photo button to ask about a picture, for example a task from your book.
   • Hold the microphone and speak, then release to send. A recording sends on its own after one minute.

Knowie shows Knowie is thinking... while it prepares, then starts explaining.

While Knowie explains

• Tap the pause button at the top to stop, and tap it again to continue.
• If you move the board, tap Follow to go back to what Knowie is drawing.
• Holding the microphone to ask a follow-up question also pauses Knowie.
• Tap the close button at the top to leave.

The drawing is not saved. When you close the whiteboard, the board is cleared.

If something goes wrong

• That question is too long for me. Try a shorter one. Shorten your question and send it again.
• I couldn't hear you. Hold the mic and speak. Keep holding the microphone while you speak.
• Knowie lost the connection. Ask again to continue. Check your connection and ask again.
• Knowie couldn't finish that. Try asking again. Send the question again.

Good to know

• The whiteboard is in the app only, not on the website.
• It is available to everyone in the US. In other countries some students see it as part of a test. If you do not see Whiteboard in the menu, your account does not have it yet. You cannot opt in, and support cannot switch it on.
• The whiteboard is not available when the app is set to a language written from right to left, such as Arabic.
• Knowie speaks and writes in your app language.
