It acts as you — and only as you.
What actually happens when I connect it?
One consent screen, on our site. You see the app's name and where it sends you back.
Can it do more than I could?
It uses your account and your permissions. Nothing it can do, you couldn't do yourself.
Does it get write access automatically?
Reading and changing are asked for separately.
Can my assistant see the answer key?
Answer keys stay with the teacher. A student's assistant never sees them.
What if I want to stop?
Disconnect any time in Settings → Connected apps.
Your students' assistants work inside your homework.
The homework you assign is what their assistant reads. Answers come back into the same editor you already use, with your feedback in place — you don't change anything about how you teach.
