PPT audio cues — how AI praise gets into your lessons

Configure trigger phrases that fire during a lesson. Variable substitution + per-lesson overrides.

The 8 default cues

  • ✅ Correct answer → "Great job, {{student_name}}!"
  • ⭐ Excellent → "Excellent work, {{student_name}}!"
  • 🔁 Try again → "Almost! Try again, {{student_name}}."
  • ❌ Wrong → "That's not quite right. Let's review."
  • 🎬 Lesson start → "Welcome, {{student_name}}! Ready to learn?"
  • 🏁 Lesson end → "Amazing class today, {{student_name}}!"
  • ⭐ Star earned → "You earned a star, {{student_name}}!"
  • 🏆 Milestone → "Wow! Big milestone, {{student_name}}!"

How to customize them

Per-lesson overrides via /api/teacher/audio-cues (UI coming in v15.2). Defaults work out of the box.

Variables you can use

  • {{student_name}} → pronunciation hint OR display name (smart fallback)
  • {{student_first}} → first word of the name (in case of multi-word names)
  • {{teacher_name}} → your from_name from Branding

When the cue plays

  • 🟢 Async lesson playback (homework via /a/[token]) → automatic
  • 🟢 Live classroom — only when YOU pre-configured the trigger
  • 🟢 Milestone certificate emails → automatic (uses your cloned voice if available)
  • 🔴 Never random / never every-click

Costs + caps

Each cue play = 1 AI call. We rate-limit to 200/min/IP and 5/student/day on pronunciation previews. Disable cues you don't need in /api/teacher/audio-cues.
