Questions

What is the best AI homework helper Chrome extension?

For most students it is Hidio: 5 free answers with no card, then $7.99 a week or $19.99 a month, answers by double-click or Alt+Shift+S, and a clipboard mode that draws nothing on the page. If you need yearly or lifetime billing, ExamClutch and QuizSolver offer it.

Can people see a homework helper extension when I share my screen?

Anything an extension draws in the browser can show up when you share your whole screen or window. When you share a single tab, the browser side panel is not part of it. Hidio's clipboard mode draws nothing at all, and the Hidio Windows app keeps its window out of every screen share and screenshot, including full-screen sharing.

Which AI homework helper is free?

Hidio gives 5 full answers free with no card. QuizSolver has a free plan with limits. CheatMate starts with a $0.99 trial that renews into a paid plan, and ExamClutch is paid from the start.

Do these extensions work on Canvas, McGraw Hill and Google Forms?

Hidio reads the question the way you see it on screen, so it works on Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, Google Forms, McGraw Hill Connect, Pearson MyLab, WebAssign and PDFs open in Chrome. CheatMate and ExamClutch list Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, McGraw Hill, Schoology, Google Classroom, Moodle and IXL.
