Description

The Embed feature lets you place a fully‑functional mentorAI widget on any website or LMS page. Customize its look, choose which tabs it offers, control user‑tracking options, and enable smart extras (context awareness, safety disclaimer, auto‑open). Once configured, a code snippet drops the mentor directly into your site—no separate login required for end users.
