Iris
Iris is an AI-powered virtual tutor integrated directly into Artemis. It provides context-aware support for programming exercises, text exercises, and lecture content, helping students learn independently through guided hints and explanations rather than giving away solutions. Iris is also available as a course-wide assistant for general course-related questions.
What Iris Can Do
- Context-Aware Help: Iris can reference your problem statement, code, and build results — no copy-pasting needed.
- Guided Learning: Iris provides hints and explanations to help you solve problems independently.
- Lecture Support: Iris can help you understand course-specific lecture content.
- Course Chat: Ask general questions about course content and get AI-powered answers.
What to Expect
- Guide, Not Solve: Iris does not provide complete solutions. It supports your problem-solving process.
- Stay on Topic: Iris answers questions about course content and programming topics only. It does not handle off-topic requests or organizational information.
- Own Your Work: Use Iris as a learning aid while maintaining academic integrity. Your submissions must reflect your own understanding and effort.
