Frequently Asked Questions
Ace is powered by OpenAI's large language model, GPT.
The difference comes down to context. When you ask a question in Chat GPT, the relevance of the response you get depends on the quality of your prompt and the context provided in your question. Because Ace operates alongside course materials and has contextual knowledge of what is being studied, it can address student questions with relevant responses that are based on the specific course contents.

Not always. AI-generated content may contain inaccuracies about people, places, or facts- and may also reflect stereotypes and societal biases. Users should always independently evaluate the accuracy of any generated questions and responses.
No, the AI models that Top Hat uses do not train on course data or data provided by user interactions in Top Hat. Rather, Ace uses course content as context along with underlying training data as needed to provide responses.
We are excited to get Ace into the hands of as many students and educators as possible, so there is currently no additional cost to use it.
Over the past 30 years in the science of learning, we’ve discovered that strategies like timely feedback, interleaving topics, spaced studying, and retrieval practice are more effective for learning. These practices call for more frequent low-stakes assessments throughout students’ learning journeys. Ace makes it faster and easier to add low stakes assessments to in-class sessions, which has been shown to help improve students’ retention and understanding across many disciplines.
