By offering adaptive hints and clear explanations, students build confidence and gain a deeper understanding of the material at their own pace. It serves as a low-stakes, readily available resource for students to work through challenges, strengthen learning and foster independent problem-solving skills, much like a patient teaching assistant available 24/7.
