What are HMH AI Tools?

HMH AI Tools help you create, customize, and enhance instructional materials with the support of AI. Instead of starting from scratch, you can quickly generate lesson materials and classroom resources, then refine them to fit your students' needs and your teaching style.

Many HMH AI Tools are integrated with HMH curriculum, making it easy to generate and customize resources directly from your instructional materials. Built on HMH's research-based curriculum and learning science, the tools are designed to support instruction while keeping you in control. Every AI-generated output can and should be reviewed, edited, and tailored before being used with students to ensure it aligns with your instructional goals and classroom needs.


How do I get started?

You can access HMH AI Tools directly from HMH Ed, by visiting app.hmhco.ai, or from Writable (if your district has enabled it).

Simply choose the tool you'd like to use, enter a prompt, and review the generated results. You can edit, copy, export, or continue refining the content before using it with students. If your district uses Writable, some generated content can also be sent directly into a Writable assignment.

❗️Note: Each user receives 6 free AI credits per day. One AI credit is used each time you generate content with an AI Tool or submit a prompt to HMH Assist. To learn more about unlimited access, click here.
