Question 1

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Create a new assignment from the dashboard by clicking 'New Assignment'. Describe the assignment topic, select a language and difficulty, then let the AI generate everything for you.

Question 2

What AI providers are supported?

Accepted Answer

CodeTeach supports OpenAI (GPT-4o), Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, Mistral, Groq, and DeepSeek. You bring your own API key -- add it in Settings before generating assignments.

Question 3

How do credits work?

Accepted Answer

BYOK assignment generation costs 1 credit; Platform AI costs 2 credits per generation (we cover the AI inference cost). New accounts get 10 free credits. Buy more from the Credits page or see the full pricing breakdown at /pricing. Credits never expire.

Question 4

What does the generated assignment include?

Accepted Answer

Each assignment includes starter code (what students see), a complete solution, automated tests, a README with instructions, and a GitHub Actions autograding workflow.

Question 5

How do I deploy to GitHub?

Accepted Answer

First install the CodeTeach GitHub App on your account or organization in Settings. Then after reviewing the generated assignment, click Deploy to create a private template repository. Keep that template instructor-only and create separate private repos for students.

Question 6

What languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

Currently supported: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C, C++, C#, Go, Rust, Ruby, SQL, and Jupyter Notebooks. More languages can be added by an admin.

Question 7

Why did my generation fail?

Accepted Answer

Common causes: expired or rate-limited API key, insufficient API plan quota (free tiers often hit rate limits), or a temporary provider outage. Check that your API key is valid and you have a paid API plan for best reliability.

Question 8

Can I edit the generated code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After generation, the Review step lets you edit all files -- starter code, solution, tests, instructions, and the workflow -- using the built-in code editor before deploying.
