AI Office Hours Question Drafter

WHAT IT DOES

Asking for help is a skill—and a well-crafted question can make the difference between a confusing office hours visit and a productive one. The AI Office Hours Question Drafter helps you prepare clear, respectful questions that show your instructor exactly where you're stuck. You provide a course topic, assignment context, or confusion point, and the agent returns a structured question with a polite greeting and brief course or assignment context, a clear statement of what you understand so far, a specific question that identifies the gap in your understanding, and a respectful closing. The tone is student-friendly and professional—perfect for emailing your professor, chatting during office hours, or posting in a course discussion forum.

HOW TO USE

Open the agent in BotSurf from your library. After pasting your API key once (handled securely by the host), enter your course topic, assignment context, or the point where you're confused. Be honest about what you know and what's unclear. Click "Draft question" or press Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on Mac). The agent processes your input and returns a complete office hours question. You can also highlight a confusion point from any webpage, assignment sheet, or document and click "Use selection" to auto-fill. Try the example tags above the input to see how different subjects are handled—computer science, math, writing, science, and history. Copy the question to your clipboard and use it to prepare for office hours, send an email, or post in a discussion forum.

WHAT IT SENDS

When you press "Draft question," the agent sends only the exact text you entered in the text area—your course topic, assignment context, or confusion point. Nothing else. No browsing history, no cookies, no account data, no hidden telemetry. The request is a simple text prompt to the AI model. The host records usage counts for billing (each press counts as one run) but does not log or store the content of your academic questions or drafted messages. Your learning remains private.

SUBSCRIPTION

This agent costs $19.99 per month, with a 7-day free trial. You receive 100 runs per billing cycle—enough to draft questions for multiple courses, assignments, or different instructors. Cancel anytime from your BotSurf account settings. Unused runs do not roll over.

THE PANEL

The agent runs in a draggable, resizable panel that snaps to screen edges. Collapse it to a floating bubble (✨) when you need more screen space, and expand it again with one click. Press Escape to close the panel. The panel remembers its position across sessions via secure state storage.

PLEASE NOTE

This is an office hours question draft for educational purposes only. The AI generates a well-structured question based on your input, but it does not know your actual course material, assignment requirements, or instructor preferences. Always review and customize the question to reflect your actual understanding and specific confusion before sending. The best questions come from your own thinking—use this as a guide to organize your thoughts, not as a replacement for engaging with the material.
