Get started with SolveX Agent.

What you need

SolveX Agent is a separate Chrome extension from McGraw Hill Helper. Both use your SolveX account, but installing one does not install or activate the other.

To run Agent, you need an active Agent allowance. Check your Agent account for current Day Pass, Weekly Pass and welcome trial availability. An eligible account with current paid Helper access can claim the welcome trial once; a free Helper trial or complimentary access does not qualify. Installing the extension does not start a trial or buy a pass.

Install, connect, then choose your activity

1. Install the official Agent extension.

   Use the Chrome Web Store link below. Open the installed extension’s panel and choose Connect account. Use the same Chrome profile where you keep the activity open.

2. Sign in and choose your Agent access.

   Use the same SolveX account to choose an available pass or activate an eligible welcome trial. Check its remaining allowance and expiry in your Agent account. Passes have no automatic renewal.

3. Complete the extension connection.

   Return to the Agent panel and wait for its connected confirmation. A signed-in website tab alone does not confirm that the extension has connected. Connecting your account does not start an activity.

4. Open a supported activity in Review first.

   Keep its instructions and relevant content available on the page. Review first is the default: Agent prepares supported work and stops for your review. Check the result before handing anything in.

Give Agent the context the work needs

For a written response, keep the instructions, linked readings and available video transcript or summary accessible. Agent can turn available source material into notes and use that context in a draft. If captions or source material are missing, it should flag the gap; an optional audio excerpt can provide material for transcription.

Read the proposed response against the actual instructions and sources. An entered answer or a saved draft is different from a confirmed submission. Full access can follow submission steps for the selected activity, while Review first leaves that final decision with you. File generation and uploads are not included in this beta.

Stop without losing track

Use Stop to cancel the pending request and queued actions. A bounded checkpoint can retain recent actions, source notes and a recovery draft for the same open activity and attempt, eligible for recovery for 24 hours.

Keep that activity tab open if you plan to resume. Closing the tab or restarting Chrome can prevent recovery. Agent does not keep a permanent course profile, and visible image questions may need the activity tab in view.

If Agent does not start

Start with the account and activity rather than repeatedly running the same action. Check these details in order:

• Confirm the extension shows a connected account, and that it is the SolveX account with your Agent allowance.
• Check remaining usage and expiry in your Agent account. A Helper plan by itself is not an active Agent pass.
• Make sure the intended activity is open and readable. An embedded or inaccessible control may need the activity in its own tab or appropriate site access.
• If the page layout is unsupported, use Stop and review the activity yourself. Compatibility varies by school, page and activity; use Agent where your course permits outside assistance.
