Teaching boardsBeta
Ask Speechy's Agent how or why something works and it explains out loud while it draws on a board beside your work, one step per sentence. Boards can hold diagrams, maths written like maths, Wikipedia photos, 3D models you can turn, quiz answers to click and practice problems it checks. Pick their look in Settings, Shortcuts, Agent, Board style.
