Yes! AI Tools are free with daily limits. Every teacher and leader with access to HMH Ed automatically receives 6 free AI Tool credits per user every 24 hours. These credits allow educators to try out AI-generated supports without any upfront cost.
All users will receive a 7-day unlimited trial of AI Tools the first time they run out of credits. This gives you the chance to explore everything the tools can do. Simply opt in by selecting "Start Unlimited". After the trial ends, your account will revert to the standard 6 free credits per day so you can continue using the tools at no cost.
What are AI Tool Credits?
Credits are used when you ask AI Tools to generate new content or revise existing output using HMH Assist. Each time you click “Generate” or use HMH Assist to rewrite something, 1 credit is used.
Credits refresh individually, and each credit becomes available again 24 hours after it was used. This rolling system gives you the flexibility to use credits throughout your day, and they’ll continue to refresh automatically.
For example, if you use 2 credits at 10:00 AM, those 2 will return at 10:00 AM the next day.
