ChemLab is built to help you learn chemistry faster — not to do your work for you. AI-generated content is a starting point. The understanding, the analysis, and the final words on your assignment should be yours.
The short version
- ChemLab drafts are not finished work. Always review, edit, verify, and add your own analysis before submitting.
- Follow your school's policy. Many institutions have specific rules about AI assistance. When in doubt, ask your instructor.
- Cite appropriately. If your course requires you to disclose AI tool use, do so honestly.
- AI can be wrong. Lab values, mechanisms, and calculations need to be checked against your own data and references.
How to use ChemLab well
- Use the report generator to structure a draft from your real data and observations — then rewrite it in your own voice.
- Use flashcards and quizzes to study and self-test, not to look up answers during graded work.
- Use the AI tutor to understand concepts, not to dictate homework answers.
- Treat mechanism walkthroughs as a learning aid — work through them by hand to actually retain the steps.
What's not OK
- Submitting AI-generated work as your own when your course prohibits AI assistance
- Using ChemLab during an exam, quiz, or other assessment where outside tools are not allowed
- Generating reports for lab work you didn't actually perform
