# Introduction

> A general introduction to Claire and how to navigate the student portal.

Welcome to Claire! Claire is an AI-assisted evaluation platform that your instructor uses to conduct assessments and casual learning exercises, and to provide you with rich, detailed feedback reports on your work.

This section of the documentation is specifically designed for students. It covers everything you need to know about how your work is evaluated, what you'll be receiving in terms of feedback, and how we protect your privacy.

## What is Claire?

Claire helps instructors integrate assessments and learning exercises into their courses. It acts as an AI teaching assistant that can conduct interviews, help instructions review submissions, and summarize the instructor's notes into comprehensive, customizable feedback reports.

<Note>
  While Claire uses AI to assist with grading and feedback, **your instructor always makes the final decision on your grade.** AI will <u>never</u> assign grades directly and on behalf of your instructor.

## The student portal

The student portal is your home base for interacting with Claire. Through the portal, you can:

* **Access assignments:** See what is due and act upon it.
* **Take assessments:** Launch AI-conducted interviews or submit your written work.
* **View feedback:** Read your detailed feedback reports once they are published.

To get started, simply log in to your student portal using the link and credentials provided by your instructor or log in via the LMS integration. Your instructor will provide more information.
