--- url: /ai/ai-settings.md description: >- Every AI setting in RootWright LMS Pro: spending limits, automations that mark work and nudge students, AI course covers, editable prompts, and the monthly usage report. --- # AI settings in RootWright LMS All AI settings in RootWright LMS Pro are under **Settings → Integrations → AI**. The sidebar lists seven sections: **Connection**, **Cost & load**, **Automations**, **Images**, **Prompts**, **Usage this month** and **Agent access**. Changes save on their own, and the page says "All changes saved". ::: pro AI features need RootWright LMS Pro and a connected provider. ::: | Section | What it covers | Page | |---|---|---| | **Connection** | Provider, API key, model, model per feature. | [Connect your AI provider](/ai/connect-ai-provider) | | **Cost & load** | Monthly token budget, per-person limits, how many jobs run at once, thinking. | [Host limits and Cost & load](/help/troubleshooting#make-each-step-shorter) | | **Automations** | AI work that runs without anyone pressing a button. | Below | | **Images** | AI course covers. | Below | | **Prompts** | The instructions each AI feature starts from. | Below | | **Usage this month** | What AI spent, by feature, model and person. | Below | | **Agent access** | Let Claude or another MCP client work with your courses. | [Agent access](/ai/agent-access) | ## Automations Automations are AI work that happens on its own. Each one spends tokens from the monthly budget. All are off by default. ![The Automations section](/images/ai/ai-settings-01-automations.jpg) *Settings → Integrations → AI → Automations.* | Setting | What it does | |---|---| | **Mark submitted work** | When a student submits, AI drafts a mark and feedback for the instructor to review. See [Assignments](/quizzes/assignments). | | **Publish confident marks** | Releases an AI mark to the student straight away when the model is confident in it. Anything less certain still waits for an instructor. Available once **Mark submitted work** is on. | | **Study plan after a failed quiz or assignment** | Works out what the student got wrong, picks courses on this site that would help, and emails them a plan. | | **Nudge students who fall behind** | Once a day, finds students who have stalled and emails each one a short, personal nudge. Students are scored without AI first, and only the ones worth contacting reach a model. | | **Nudges per day** | The most students the daily check sends to a model. The rest wait for tomorrow. Default 25. | | **Daily digest for admins** | One email a day summarising how students are doing, written from the daily check's counts. A quiet day sends nothing. | | **Wait for an answer on a generated outline** | When AI disagrees with a course request, it asks the creator first. If nobody answers in this time, it goes ahead with its own suggestion. Default 15 minutes. | ## Images AI can make course covers. Images use their own provider, separate from the text provider. ![The Images section](/images/ai/ai-settings-02-images.jpg) *Settings → Integrations → AI → Images.* | Setting | What it does | |---|---| | **Image provider** | **Off**, **WordPress AI**, **OpenAI (GPT Image)**, **Z.ai (GLM Image)** or **Claude (designed cover)**. **Off** hides every **Generate cover** button. A provider marked "(not ready)" needs a key or setup first. | | **API key** | Leave it empty to use your text provider's key, when it is the same vendor. Add one to use a different key for images. | | **Image model** | Leave it empty for the default. Any model ID the provider accepts works. | | **Image effort** | **Fast**, **Balanced** or **Best**. For Claude's designed covers, Fast took about 20 seconds with plainer type, Balanced about 40 seconds, and Best about 90 seconds. | | **Monthly image limit** | Images the whole site may make each UTC month. Default 80. Image calls that report tokens also count against the token budget. **0** stops all AI images. | ## Prompts Each AI feature starts from a prompt you can reword for your site. The reply format is fixed separately, so a change here cannot break a feature. [AI skills](/ai/ai-skills) still apply on top. ![The Prompts section with Course outline selected](/images/ai/ai-settings-03-prompts.jpg) *Settings → Integrations → AI → Prompts. The counter shows the prompt's length, up to 10,000 characters.* ::: steps 1. Choose a feature in **Prompt**: **Course outline**, **Lesson writer**, **Course exam**, **Improve in bulk**, **Agent mode**, **AI chat**, **Course audit**, **Marking**, **Study recommendations**, **Progress nudge** or **Admin digest**. 2. Edit the text in the box. A line under the menu says what that prompt is for. 3. To undo your changes, click **Reset to default**. ::: ## Usage this month **Usage this month** shows what AI has spent since the first of the month, in UTC, the same window the budget uses. ![The Usage this month section](/images/ai/ai-settings-04-usage.jpg) *Tokens used against the monthly budget, then the totals by feature.* * **Total**: tokens used out of the **Monthly token budget**, split into tokens in and out, with the number of jobs, and "Within budget" while there is room left. * **By feature**: jobs and tokens for each feature, such as **Course generation**, **Course audit**, **Assistant** and **Agent mode**, and tokens spent on failed jobs. * **By model**: jobs and tokens for each model and provider. * **By person**: tokens and images for each user. * **History**: every job, with its time, feature, course, model, tokens and status. ## Related * [Connect your AI provider](/ai/connect-ai-provider) * [Generate a course with AI](/courses/generate-with-ai) * [AI generation stops partway: host limits](/help/troubleshooting#ai-generation-stops-partway-host-limits)
