StackMentor is an AI programming mentor for students. It works inside VS Code and guides students through their coding assignments with hints, questions, and explanations, helping them learn to solve problems themselves.

StackMentor is for learning institutions that teach programming, including schools, universities, and coding programs. It helps their students work through programming assignments with guided support.

Traditional trial-and-error learning can be frustrating, so students may quickly turn to AI tools that give them the answer instantly. StackMentor takes a different approach: it guides students with questions, hints, and explanations instead of simply giving them the solution.

Setting up is a quick process. The school owner creates the school and invites its members. The owner or teachers can then create courses and assignments, add students, and upload course material for students to use. The role of the website is to provide course and assignment context to the mentor, students do not return assignments to StackMentor.

No. StackMentor is a programming mentor that complements your school’s existing learning platform. It helps students understand and work through coding assignments without doing the work for them.

No. StackMentor’s responses are provided in a chat. When it includes a small code snippet, students cannot simply copy it from the chat; they need to write it out by hand and understand what it does.

StackMentor can support any programming language the AI model understands, which means it can work with practically every commonly used programming language.

No. In the future, teachers will receive AI-generated summaries of student usage as a whole, helping them identify common challenges while respecting the privacy of individual student conversations.

Yes. StackMentor uses models configured for zero data retention, so model providers do not retain mentor prompts and responses for training or future use.

Schools choose how many seats they want and pay for that capacity upfront for each billing period. A seat becomes active when a student uses the mentor, and unused seats carry over as credits for the next billing period.
