Open AskLeo
- Sign in to Exxat Prism using your university credentials.
- Select the AskLeo icon in the application toolbar.
The AskLeo window opens. You can start a conversation, open a previous conversation, or select a suggested question.
Use Suggested Questions
The Welcome and New Chat screens provide questions that can help you get started. The suggestions may change based on your faculty role and the area from which you opened AskLeo.
| Area | Examples |
|---|---|
| Gradebook | How do I submit grades? Where can I review attendance reports? |
| Courses | How do I review my course roster? How do I set up learning activities? |
| Evaluations | Where can I view evaluations that need my attention? How do I complete an evaluation? |
| Placements | How do I review student patient logs? Where can I approve timesheets? |
Select a suggested question to submit it automatically. If no questions are mapped to your current role and area, AskLeo displays a general set of suggestions.
Ask Questions and Get Answers
Enter a question in the message box, then press Enter or select Send. Clear questions that include the relevant course, placement, activity, or time period usually produce more useful responses.
Example questions include
- How do I submit grades for my course?
- Where can I review attendance reports?
- How do I review my students' patient logs?
- Where can I find evaluations that require my action?
Continue the Conversation
AskLeo remembers the context of the current conversation. You can ask a follow-up question without repeating the full topic.

Navigate Within Exxat Prism
AskLeo can open pages that have defined navigation links. The response depends on how specific your request is.
Open a Specific Page
When one page clearly matches your request, AskLeo displays a brief confirmation and opens the page or provides a direct link.
Take me to the Gradebook page
AskLeo Opening the requested page...
Choose from Matching Pages
When a request could refer to several pages, AskLeo displays a relevance-ranked list of matching destinations with short descriptions.
Show me student information
AskLeo may suggest
- Course roster for students enrolled in a course
- Placement students for students assigned to placements
- Evaluation records for student evaluation activity
Select the destination you want to open. AskLeo shows up to five options at first. Select Show more when additional matches are available. If none of the options are correct, dismiss the list or refine your request with a page, course, or activity name.
Use Voice Input
You can speak a question instead of typing it.
- Select the Microphone icon in the message box.
- Speak your question.
- Select the Stop icon when you finish.
AskLeo converts your speech to text and submits the question. Your browser must have permission to use a working microphone.
Listen to a Response
AskLeo can read a response aloud, allowing you to listen instead of reading the response on screen.
- AskLeo a question.
- Wait for the complete response to appear.
- Locate the action icons below the response.
- Select the speaker icon. The Read aloud label appears when you point to the icon.
- Listen to the response through your device’s selected audio output.
Voice input lets you speak a question to AskLeo, while Read aloud plays AskLeo’s written response as audio.
