Exiting out of the Udemy AI Assistant

Encountering an issue with the course content or course player?
Please note that currently, the Udemy AI Assistant can not answer questions about technical issues you may encounter on the platform or if there is an issue with the course content.
If you encounter technical issues while taking a course, or encounter a problem with the course content itself, review steps you can take to have your question or issue resolved.
What to do if the Udemy AI Assistant is unable to answer your question
As noted above, the Udemy AI Assistant is trained to answer a specific range of questions regarding the content of specific courses.
When a question is asked outside the range of what’s expected, the Udemy AI Assistant will notify you if it’s unable to answer that question. We recommend asking questions closely related to learning and the specific content of the course you’re currently accessing.
If you wish to share feedback regarding your experience using the Udemy AI Assistant, please click “Share feedback” and fill out the feedback survey. The feedback will be sent to the applicable Udemy team directly and could help inform future improvements.
How to upload an image file to the Udemy AI Assistant
