LiveHint is Carnegie Learning's new live textbook assistant. LiveHint allows students to obtain real-time hints on textbook assignments through a Conversational ChatBot (TutorBot) from any device. With LiveHint, students and parents never have to navigate through textbook assignments on their own.
There are two ways to access LiveHint. You can simply go to livehint.com on any device and click the button that corresponds to your textbook. Some textbooks include QR codes on the Assignment page(s), providing another way to access LiveHint. There is no registration or sign in required.
You can also select Español to access the Spanish version of LiveHint.
You can watch our LiveHint video tutorial or review the instructions below.
To get started, all you’ll need is the Assignment that you are working on in your Carnegie Learning textbook. (Please note that hints are only available for Assignment questions right now).

For help, click “See a Hint” in the above view.
Hints will begin to be delivered:

ALWAYS pause to problem-solve in between hints!
Click “See Another Hint” to get a progressively more specific hint. This means the first hint was meant to help you think through the problem in a deeper way. The second hint will give you even more direct help.
Click “Another question” if you’ve finished your work on this question, but need assistance on another.
Click “Start over” if you need to start from the beginning!
