Use it for IXL on any device
IXL is often done on a school Chromebook, and school-managed devices may block the app. On a device you own, open it and tell it “my IXL skills due Friday.” Sign in to Canvas once in the live browser, and it opens the skills from there. It works multiple choice, typed numbers and words, fractions and exponents, then reads IXL’s feedback. Diagnostics and SecureTest assessments are yours.

About Silent Student on IXL
Pick the skill and watch: Silent Student opens IXL in its own browser, answers one question at a time, presses Submit and reads IXL’s feedback.
Silent Student is a Mac and Windows desktop app, from $11.99 a month, that opens IXL skills linked from your Canvas course and answers them one question at a time, pressing IXL’s Submit and reading the feedback. It skips IXL diagnostics.
- Types into IXL’s answer boxes. Numbers, fractions, words and choices go into IXL’s own fields, then it reads each entry back before pressing Submit.
- Reads IXL’s feedback. After every Submit it reads whether IXL marked it right. A miss and its explanation are noted, then it moves on.
- Reports the real SmartScore. The run log shows the SmartScore IXL actually displays, never a guess. Diagnostics stay yours to take.
Is there an IXL answer bot?
Is there an IXL answer bot?
Yes, with limits. Silent Student is a Mac and Windows desktop app whose Vision agent opens IXL skills linked from your Canvas course, enters each answer, presses IXL’s Submit and reads the SmartScore off the page. It does not take IXL diagnostics, SecureTest assessments or proctored tests, its answers can be wrong, we publish no IXL accuracy figure, and IXL’s Terms bar AI agents. A one-week pass is $4.99 (500 credits, no auto-renew); monthly plans start at $11.99. Updated November 2, 2026.
Does Silent Student work with IXL?
Does Silent Student work with IXL?
Partly. Silent Student’s Vision agent opens IXL skills linked from your Canvas course, enters each answer, presses Submit and reads IXL’s feedback before the next question. We have published no IXL run, so we publish no IXL accuracy figure. IXL’s Terms of Service bar AI agents. Plans start at $11.99 a month.

Is there an IXL answer bot or solver bot?
Is there an IXL answer bot or solver bot?
Yes, four kinds. Browser extensions: SnapGPT and FastSolve suggest an answer and, per their own IXL pages, you press Submit, while IXL Genie’s Chrome Web Store listing says the answer “is entered and submitted” for you. Userscripts from GitHub or Greasy Fork run inside your signed-in IXL tab: one, IXL Auto Answer, had more than 4,200 installs on Greasy Fork when we checked on October 20, 2026, needs your own OpenAI API key and has an Auto Submit mode. Chatbots, including IXLBOT on Poe, answer what you paste in. Silent Student is a desktop app whose agent enters each answer and presses IXL’s Submit, from $11.99 a month, with no free plan. IXL’s Terms bar any “Agent”, meaning software that acts on your behalf, so read them before you use any of these.

Where can you find IXL answers or an answer key?
Where can you find IXL answers or an answer key?
From IXL itself, after you answer: IXL’s blog says that after every incorrect answer it will “provide a student with the correct answer and a guided walkthrough for the solution.” A posted list won’t match your screen, because IXL’s App Store page says students “never see the same problem twice.”

| Multiple choice and clickable answers | Works | Choices are matched by their text, not their position. |
| Typed numbers and words | Works | Typed into IXL’s answer box and read back. |
| Fractions, exponents and other math input | Works | Built-in handling covers MathQuill and MathLive editors. |
| Drag, sort and number-line questions | Weakest | Check these yourself. |
| Graphing and drawing | Weakest | Check these yourself. |
| IXL Flex and LevelUp Diagnostics | Not supported | Take these yourself. |
| SecureTest and proctored assessments | Not supported | Yours to take. |
What should you do yourself on IXL?
What should you do yourself on IXL?
- No published IXL run yet. IXL runs on the Vision agent, and we have published no IXL run. Check the run log.
- Take diagnostics yourself. The Flex and LevelUp Diagnostics set the level of the skills IXL recommends. An inflated level gives you work you are not ready for, so don’t queue one. The same goes for i-Ready Inform, formerly the i-Ready Diagnostic.

Does it work on proctored IXL exams?

No. Silent Student does not take IXL assessments that open in SecureTest, IXL’s lockdown browser, or any other proctored test, and it does not take IXL diagnostics. Take those yourself.
Silent Student vs other tools for IXL
Silent Student vs other tools for IXL
IXL bots compared: with SnapGPT and FastSolve you submit each answer yourself, IXL Genie and some userscripts enter and submit answers inside your signed-in IXL tab, and Silent Student enters and submits each answer from its own desktop browser. A chatbot such as ChatGPT or Poe’s IXLBOT works by hand: you copy each question in and type the answer back yourself. AskSia’s IXL page offers a solver that works away from IXL.
| Tool | What it is | Who enters answers | Submits? | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silent Student (ours) | Desktop app for Mac and Windows | Silent Student enters each answer | Yes, on IXL’s Submit, one question at a time | $11.99, $24.99 or $49.99 a month; no free plan |
| SnapGPT | Chrome and Firefox extension | You type the answer; paid Autopilot fills it in | No; Autopilot “never submits” | Free 5 answers a day; Plus $9.99 a month |
| FastSolve | Extension; answers from a screenshot | You; “FastSolve never touches the IXL page” | No | Free 10 solves a day; Pro $19.99 a month |
| IXL Genie | Chrome extension that runs on ixl.com | The extension; the answer “is entered and submitted” | Yes; paid Ultimate answers a whole skill until you stop it | Free 25 questions a day; Ultimate price not on its listing |
| Userscripts (GitHub, Greasy Fork) | Tampermonkey scripts shared by individuals | The script, inside your signed-in IXL tab | Some can; IXL Auto Answer has an Auto Submit mode | Free; IXL Auto Answer needs your own OpenAI API key |

What does Silent Student do on IXL?
What does Silent Student do on IXL?
IXL skills linked from Canvas, answered question by question with IXL’s feedback read after each one.
One question at a time
IXL shows one question, checks it, then shows the next. The agent works in the same rhythm: answer, submit, read IXL's feedback, continue.
Math input boxes
The agent has built-in handling for the common web math editors (MathQuill and MathLive) and types plain numeric and word answers directly.
Linked from Canvas
Many schools link IXL skills into Canvas modules or assignments. The agent follows that same link, signed in the way your school signs you in.
Every answer is read back
Typing an answer is not the same as the platform accepting it. After each entry the agent re-reads the live page, so an answer that did not take is caught and retried instead of counted.
How does Silent Student work on IXL, step by step?
How does Silent Student work on IXL, step by step?
Pick the assignment in Canvas
Open the Silent Student desktop app, find the IXL assignment in your Canvas course list, and queue it like any other.
It opens IXL from your course
The app follows the skill's link out of Canvas and lands on IXL. It does not ask for or type your password. If your school signs you in through Clever or ClassLink, the app supports that sign-in for Canvas.
It works the screen in front of it
The vision agent reads the question from a screenshot and the page's controls, enters an answer, submits it, and reads IXL's response before the next question.
It reports what really happened
It uses the platform's own submit or completion control and marks the run confirmed only when the platform shows it.
More questions about IXL13
Does an IXL bot work in the IXL lockdown browser?
Silent Student does not run in it, and it doesn’t try to. Some IXL assessments, such as LevelUp Diagnostics and Universal Screeners, can open in IXL SecureTest, which IXL says “is powered by LockDown Browser® from Respondus” and keeps students from tools including “AI-powered extensions,” so take those yourself.
Does IXL have a lockdown browser? What SecureTest covers

Can IXL detect AI or a bot?
IXL doesn’t say. We found no IXL page that describes whether or how it detects AI help, so we make no claim either way. IXL does say what teachers can see: IXL Analytics lets a teacher “Review every question a student has answered and pinpoint misconceptions fast,” and SecureTest, which IXL uses for some assessments, blocks “AI-powered extensions.” IXL’s Terms bar any “Agent” whether or not anything is detected, and your school’s policy applies too. Silent Student does not hide or fake any activity on IXL; what it answers is recorded as yours.
Sources: IXL, IXL Analytics; IXL, SecureTest overview guide; IXL Learning, Terms of Service, checked October 20, 2026.
Does IXL track time?
Yes. IXL’s guide to its Analytics says the Usage report “shows you their time spent on IXL, how many questions they answered, the number of skills they’ve made progress in, and which topics they tried,” with a breakdown of every practice session. The Score Chart gives each skill’s score, “the number of questions answered, time spent, and your child’s last practice session.” Schools get a Time Spent report as well. Silent Student’s working time on IXL is logged the same way yours is, and it does not pad or fake time.

What is IXL Genie?
IXL Genie is a Chrome extension that, per its Chrome Web Store listing, “reads the IXL question in front of you, works out the answer, and enters it for you.” IXL Genie’s free plan covers 25 questions a day, one click at a time. A paid Ultimate plan, with a 3-day free trial and no price on the listing, adds a Start button that answers each question in a skill until you stop it. The listing says the question on screen is sent to its developer’s server. On October 20, 2026 IXL Genie’s listing showed 770 users, 3 ratings and version 1.1.9, updated October 15, 2026. We have not tested it. In our reading, it is the kind of “Agent” IXL’s Terms bar, as Silent Student is.

Is there an IXL bot on Poe?
Yes. IXLBOT is a chatbot on Poe, made by a Poe user and running on GPT-4o, whose description says it “is specifically made for the IXL website and will help you finish them easily.” Like any chatbot, it sees only what you paste or upload, and you type each answer into IXL yourself, where it is recorded as yours. We have not tested it. Because IXL draws fresh questions for each student, it can only work from your own screen, never from a stored list.

Is there an IXL bot on GitHub?
A few, and most are small. When we checked on October 20, 2026, mumbojum2/ixl-auto-solver (4 stars, MIT license) was last changed on October 10, 2025. Its README describes a Python script that sends each question to Google’s Gemini API, “submits answers, handles feedback, and stops when SmartScore = 100,” handles fill-in answers only, and keeps your IXL username and password in the script file. Stxrmzz/ixl (20 stars, MIT license) was last updated in May 2023, and its README says “it solves 1 skill.” Felix3322’s IXL Auto Answer (10 stars, GPL-3.0), last updated in January 2026, is a Tampermonkey userscript that “Sends HTML and canvas data to GPT-4o” on your own OpenAI API key. We have not run any of them. A script like this breaks when IXL changes its pages, runs code you didn’t write inside your signed-in account and, in our reading, is the kind of “Agent” IXL’s Terms bar.

Is there a free IXL answer bot?
Some have free tiers, with daily limits. SnapGPT’s IXL page offers “5 screenshot answers and 5 chat messages every day,” and FastSolve’s says “The free tier includes 10 solves a day with no credit card required.” With both, you enter and submit the answer. IXL Genie’s free plan covers 25 questions a day, which it enters and submits itself. The IXL Auto Answer userscript on Greasy Fork is free to install but needs your own OpenAI API key. A second Greasy Fork script, IXL Auto Answer (Gemini 2.5 Flash), sends a screenshot of the page to Google’s Gemini on your own API key. IXL Auto Answer (Gemini 2.5 Flash) had 1,892 installs and a last update of March 11, 2026 when we checked, and its author writes that it “hasn’t been tested that much.” We don’t link it. AskSia’s “Free IXL Alternative Solver” page works a problem you type or photograph, away from IXL. Silent Student has no free plan; it starts at $11.99 a month. IXL’s Terms bar any “Agent” whether it is free or paid.

Which IXL Diagnostic names replaced the old ones in 2025?
IXL renamed them in 2025: “The IXL Flex Diagnostic for PreK-12 math and ELA (previously the IXL Classic Diagnostic or IXL Real-Time Diagnostic)” and “The IXL LevelUp™ Diagnostic for PreK-12 math (previously the IXL LevelUp Math Benchmark Assessment).” IXL says both “provide students with a personalized learning plan.” A diagnostic sets the level of the skills IXL recommends, so Silent Student does not take one.
IXL Flex Diagnostic, LevelUp and Real-Time: what the names mean
Source: IXL blog, Exciting updates to IXL’s diagnostics (March 17, 2025, updated May 8, 2025), checked October 20, 2026.
What do IXL’s Terms say about AI agents?
IXL’s Terms of Service, last updated September 30, 2026, say: “You will not use, allow, enable, or cause the deployment of an Agent (i.e., any software or service that takes autonomous or semi-autonomous action on behalf of, or at the instruction of, any person or entity) to access, use, or interact with the Service.” In our reading, that reaches Silent Student. We are not lawyers. Read the Terms yourself before you decide.
Source: IXL Learning, Terms of Service, checked October 20, 2026.
What is the best AI for IXL?
It depends on who should enter the answers. To understand a question, use IXL’s own step-by-step explanation after a wrong answer, or ask a chatbot. For a suggested answer you type in yourself, use a screenshot extension such as SnapGPT or FastSolve. For an agent that enters each answer and presses Submit, Silent Student is one, from $11.99 a month, with no published IXL run. IXL’s Terms bar agents, so read them first.
Will it get my SmartScore to 100?
Not guaranteed. In the Challenge Zone a wrong answer costs 3 to 8 points, and the agent can answer wrongly. The score IXL shows at the end is the result, and the run log lists each question it answered. For what 80, 90 and 100 mean, see how the IXL SmartScore works.
What is IXL’s website address?
IXL’s website is www.ixl.com, and its sign-in page is www.ixl.com/signin. Silent Student doesn’t need that page: it follows the IXL skill link from your Canvas course and does not ask for or type your IXL password.
