Where learners meet what you build.

Every chat page and course made on VIABLE opens here, from one link: an agent anyone can ask on your website, or a course where a class reads, writes and answers with the AI beside them.

Hi! Ask me how to find, borrow or cite anything.

Can I renew a laptop loan online?

Yes, once, for another 3 days, from your library account under Loans 1. Laptops can’t be renewed if someone has placed a hold 2.

Ask a question

One link, two kinds of page.

Chat page

/chat/your-agent

For anyone, on the websites you choose.

  • Share the link or a QR code, or paste one line into LibGuides, LibAnswers or any website for a chat button.
  • No sign-in: each device is an anonymous visitor who sees only their own chats.
  • Your agent’s look, greeting and suggested questions, with daily, per-visitor and spending limits.

Course

/course/RC8K85JH

For a class you know, all term.

  • Sections with their own links, and units of activities that open when you say, section by section.
  • Activities put panels beside the AI: questions graded on the server, writing, a reading with highlights and notes, or an embedded page, all at once or in steps.
  • Each learner’s progress and work, and a download with names for the teacher.
Create a course

Made for learning, on any screen.

  • Answers with sources

    When an agent answers from your materials, each factual sentence cites them, down to the page of a PDF.

  • Rich replies

    Tables, math, code and diagrams, readable on a phone.

  • The AI beside the work

    In a course, the AI sits next to the reading or the questions, docked, resized, or out of the way.

  • Voice

    With an agent that listens and speaks, learners talk, hear the answer, or go hands-free.

  • Shared computers

    A course set for shared computers asks who is there at each visit and after 20 idle minutes.

  • Wherever learners are

    A link or QR code, a chat button on your website, or a frame in Canvas.

Research

Studies on the same link.

A study adds its steps to a course link, such as a research notice or consent with assent, before the first activity. Learners keep one link; you keep one record.

  • Follow how a course or a chat page is used, over a semester if you like.
  • Compare groups, or compare units for the same learners, with each agent’s version fixed while the study runs.
  • Pause collecting at any time, and export a documented dataset by learner code.

Questions, answered.

Building pages in code? The API guide covers chat pages and their embed code.

What is page.viablelearning.org?

The address where VIABLE serves chat pages and courses. Each page is made by a teacher, librarian, researcher or developer on the VIABLE Developer Platform, and runs their agent on their project’s key. The address itself leads here.

Do learners need an account?

No. On a chat page each device is an anonymous visitor. A course asks who learners are the way its teacher chose: a code from a printed card, a typed name or ID, an ID in the link from an LMS, or just this device. No page asks for a password.

Who sees what learners write?

The members of the project that made the page, in its dashboard: each conversation, the work in each activity, and a course’s progress. A course sets what is recorded: answers and time, how learners write, or in detail. A study shows its research notice or asks for consent on the same link, and its export marks every record as inside or outside that consent.

Can the chat be on our own website?

Yes. Paste one line into any website, LibGuides or LibAnswers for a chat button, or use an inline frame in Canvas and other editors that remove scripts. You choose which websites may show it.

Who pays for the AI?

The project that made the page. A chat page runs on the API key its maker chose, within the daily message and spending limits they set; a course runs on its own AI key.

I have an older link on api.viablelab.org.

It still works. It opens the same page here and brings along the chats this browser kept.
