Use it for McGraw Hill Connect on any device
On an iPad, open the app and type “my Connect accounting homework, chapter 7.” Sign in to your school’s LMS once in the live browser. It opens Connect from the assignment link and fills journal grids cell by cell, along with account dropdowns, numeric entry and fill in the blank. Graphing is its weakest question type, so look those over.

About Silent Student on McGraw Hill Connect
Pick the assignment and watch: Silent Student opens Connect in its own browser, fills every answer and worksheet cell, checks its work and submits. SmartBook? See the McGraw Hill SmartBook bot.
Short answer: Silent Student is a McGraw Hill Connect answer bot, a Mac and Windows desktop app from $11.99 a month. It opens Connect assignments from your Canvas course, answers each question in Connect’s assignment player, fills accounting worksheet grids cell by cell, and turns the assignment in. McGraw Hill’s Terms bar AI agents. The McGraw Hill SmartBook bot has its own page.
- Fills worksheets cell by cell. Journal grids, numeric cells and account dropdowns go in one at a time, then it reads each cell back.
- Checks its work. It presses Check my work where your course allows it, reads the result and fixes cells until they check out.
- Submits and shows you the log. It turns the assignment in and the run log lists what went in, what was correct and anything left for you.

Is there a McGraw Hill Connect answer bot?
Yes. Silent Student is a Mac and Windows app that opens a McGraw Hill Connect assignment from your Canvas course, enters each answer, accounting grids included, and presses Submit. McGraw Hill's Terms of Use bar AI agents and browser extensions from completing or submitting Connect work without its written permission.

Does Silent Student work with McGraw Hill Connect?
Technically yes, but McGraw Hill’s Terms of Use bar AI agents, so read them first. Silent Student’s Vision agent opens Connect assignments from Canvas, fills accounting grids cell by cell and presses Submit. It does not take proctored exams. Every plan includes it; Base costs $11.99 a month.

Is there a McGraw Hill Connect answer bot or auto-answer extension?
Is there a McGraw Hill Connect answer bot or auto-answer extension?
Yes. Several tools answer Connect questions for you, in three forms. Browser extensions read each question on screen: SolveX says its Auto-Solve “can move through supported homework activities,” SnapGPT’s Autopilot “can click through a question set for you,” and Apex Vision AI’s AI Agents “fill answer boxes.” Open-source scripts on GitHub drive a browser they control. Silent Student is a desktop agent that opens the Connect assignment from your Canvas course, answers it and presses Submit. McGraw Hill’s Terms of Use bar all of them from completing or submitting an assignment without McGraw Hill’s written permission. A McGraw Hill Connect answer key is another matter: many Connect questions are algorithmic, so answers posted online were usually worked with someone else’s numbers.
Sources: SolveX, Connect solver page; SnapGPT, McGraw Hill Connect page; Apex Vision AI, FAQ; McGraw Hill Terms of Use, checked October 20, 2026.
Is there a McGraw Hill assignment bot that submits the assignment?
Most Connect tools stop before Submit. SnapGPT says “it never submits, so you always review before turning anything in,” and Apex Vision AI says you review the work “before submitting it yourself.” The auto-mcgraw-connect script on GitHub clicks the final Submit unless you turn on its Disable Auto-Submit setting. McGraw Hill tells students to click “Submit on the top right hand corner of the assignment & not Save and Exit,” because Save and Exit “may not submit your assignment.” Silent Student presses Connect’s Submit and marks a run done only when it sees Connect’s confirmation; a run that stops early is reported as partial.

What help does Connect give inside an assignment?
What help does Connect give inside an assignment?
McGraw Hill calls these “resource assistance types.” Your instructor chooses which ones appear, and “not all of the assistance types are available for every question.”
| Assistance | What McGraw Hill says |
|---|---|
| eBook & resources | A student “will see relevant readings that may help the student answer that question.” |
| Hint | The View Hint link “will offer a suggestion.” |
| Check my work | A check if the answer is correct, an x if not. “The actual answer won’t be given.” |
| Show the solutions | Students “will be able to see the solutions. If a question is algorithmic, they can try answering it again with new algorithmic values.” |
| Guided solutions | Students “can follow step-by-step guides to the solutions and can try answering the questions again with new algorithmic values.” |
| Practice questions | Students can “practice non-scored versions of the assignment questions, with different values.” |
Opening a solution works differently by question type. Some questions “have multiple versions of the question that are randomly assigned to each student. These are called algorithmic questions.” On a static question, opening the guided solution means “you will be asked to give up to see the solution. If you give up, then you will not be able to attempt the question again.” On an algorithmic one, “a try another button” lets you “try another algorithmic version of the question for credit,” up to 10 per assignment attempt by default. Test banks and instructor manuals are instructor resources.

What won’t a McGraw Hill Connect bot do?
What won’t a McGraw Hill Connect bot do?
These are the parts to know about on Connect.
- Check the run log. McGraw Hill Connect runs on the Vision agent. It works most question types, and the run log is the place to check what it did.
- Check my work is limited. Many Connect assignments cap how many times you can press Check my work, and some deduct credit for it. The agent works within whatever your instructor set; it cannot restore a check it has used.
- Graphing questions are the weakest. Questions that ask you to drag points or shift curves on a graph are the hardest for a screen-reading agent. Look over those before the due date.
- Proctored tests are yours to take. Tests that run inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Proctorio or Honorlock need those tools, which the agent's browser does not run, so they do not open for it. Don't queue a proctored test; take it yourself.
Silent Student vs other tools for McGraw Hill Connect
Silent Student vs other tools for McGraw Hill Connect
Connect tools come in three kinds: screen-reading extensions, scripts on GitHub and desktop agents. McGraw Hill’s Terms bar all three. Its own AI Reader explains passages and does not answer.

| Silent Student (ours) | Desktop app for Mac and Windows | Silent Student, cell by cell | Yes | $11.99, $24.99 or $49.99 a month; no free plan |
| SnapGPT | Chrome and Firefox extension | You; Autopilot on Plus clicks through a set | “It never submits an assignment” | Free 5 answers a day; Plus $9.99 a month |
| SolveX Agent | Chrome extension | It enters answers; Auto-Solve moves through an activity | Its page mentions checks “before it submits” | Free start: 60 minutes and 100 solves |
| Apex Vision AI | Chrome extension, plus iOS and Android apps | You; on its Mastermind plan, AI Agents “fill answer boxes” | No; you review the work “before submitting it yourself” | Free 30 requests, refilled every 12 hours; $7.99 to $19.99 a month |
| McGraw Hill AI Reader | McGraw Hill’s own AI in its eBooks | You | No | No separate price listed |

What does Silent Student do on McGraw Hill Connect?
What does Silent Student do on McGraw Hill Connect?
Connect homework and worksheets opened from Canvas, including the spreadsheet-style journal grids common in accounting.
Accounting worksheets and journal grids
Connect accounting homework is full of spreadsheet-style grids: account dropdowns, debit and credit columns, totals. The agent fills the grid one cell at a time, commits each entry the way a person would, and reads the cell back.
The assignment player, question by question
Multiple choice, numeric entry, fill-in-the-blank and dropdown questions are answered in Connect's own player, one question at a time, with the next-question control used in order.
Turned in, not just saved
Connect keeps your answers when you leave, but the instructor only sees them after Submit. The agent does not treat answered as finished; it presses Submit and looks for Connect's confirmation.
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 McGraw Hill Connect, step by step?
Pick the assignment in Canvas
Open the Silent Student desktop app, find the Connect assignment in your Canvas course list, and queue it like any other.
It opens Connect the way you do
The app follows the assignment's link out of Canvas, the same launch you would click, and lands on the Connect assignment. It does not ask for or type your Connect password.
It works the screen in front of it
The vision agent reads each question from a screenshot and the page's own controls, enters an answer, and reads the page back to check the answer actually registered before it moves on.
It turns the work in and reports honestly
It presses the platform's own submit control, looks for the platform's own receipt, and marks the run confirmed only when it sees one.
More questions about McGraw Hill Connect8
Is there a McGraw Hill Connect bot on GitHub?
Two small ones. thefriendswemade/McGraw-Bot (8 stars, Apache-2.0, last updated September 1, 2026) is a Python and Selenium script whose README asks you to “edit the admin file to include your Canvas username and password,” says it is not for Connect’s “table-based inputs,” and adds “I no longer have access to McGraw Hill Connect.” ivan-grebe/auto-mcgraw-connect (1 star, MIT, last updated June 15, 2026) is a fork of auto-mcgraw that adds Connect and clicks the final Submit unless you turn on Disable Auto-Submit; its README says it “may not work properly on MacOS.” The original auto-mcgraw covers SmartBook only. McGraw Hill’s Terms bar all three.

Do McGraw Hill’s Terms of Use allow a Connect bot?
No, not without McGraw Hill’s written permission. Its Terms of Use, last updated October 16, 2026, cover Connect and bar any “AI agent, AI-enabled browser, browser extension” or other automated tool from acting in the service “to view, complete, answer, or submit any assessment, assignment, or other activity.” A separate clause bars putting McGraw Hill content “in any external AI or machine learning technologies,” which in our reading covers pasting a Connect question into a chatbot. Your school’s academic-integrity policy is separate and may be stricter.
Source: McGraw Hill Terms of Use, checked October 20, 2026.
Can McGraw Hill Connect detect AI?
We found no McGraw Hill page that says how, or whether, Connect detects AI help on homework, so we make no claim either way. McGraw Hill does say what instructors see. Clicking a score in the assignment results report shows “the questions received, the student’s responses, and the correct answers,” and Connect’s Time Spent report shows “how much time students are spending on assignments.” On proctored tests, Proctorio settings can record the webcam, the screen and the web pages visited. The Terms bar AI agents whether or not anything is detected. Silent Student does not hide or fake any of this activity, and your school’s academic-integrity policy applies.

Is Silent Student a McGraw Hill Connect extension?
No. Silent Student is a desktop app for Mac and Windows with its own browser. It opens Connect from your Canvas course there, and nothing is installed in Chrome. SnapGPT, SolveX and Apex Vision AI are browser extensions that run inside your own Chrome instead; SnapGPT also runs in Firefox.
Does it need my McGraw Hill password?
No. It follows the Connect link in your Canvas course, the same launch you would click, and does not ask for or type your McGraw Hill password.
Can I run it on a Chromebook?
Yes, through the web app. On a Chromebook, iPad or phone, use the web app at app.silentstudent.com. On a Mac with Apple Silicon on macOS 13 or later (Intel Macs by request for members) or a 64-bit PC on Windows 10 or later, use the desktop app or the web app. School-managed devices may block it. McGraw Hill’s free ReadAnywhere app does run SmartBook assignments; see does McGraw Hill Connect have an app?
Does it take proctored Connect exams?
No. Tests that need Respondus LockDown Browser, Proctorio or Honorlock do not open in its browser. Take those yourself. What Connect’s Proctorio settings can record is in our guide on whether McGraw Hill Connect is proctored.

Replica modeled on McGraw Hill Connect
This recording is a separate run with a different result from the benchmark table: the scored run on September 22, 2026 got 102 of 109, submitted; this recording got 106 of 109, submitted.
The agent works a Connect-style accounting workbook of integrated business models: dense grids of numeric cells and dropdowns spread across requirement tabs, with a question map for moving between items. It checks its work as it goes, fixes cells until they check out, and submits.

McGraw Hill Connect FAQ
How accurate is it on McGraw Hill Connect?
On our September 2026 benchmark, a replica of a Connect accounting homework with dense multi-cell grids scored 102 of 109 graded answers (94%) and was submitted. It ran on the same Vision agent the app uses on Connect. Across all seven benchmark assignments it scored 95% (156 of 164). Full method and every result: silentstudent.com/benchmark.
Does it do Connect accounting homework?
Yes. Accounting is where Connect is most grid-heavy, and the agent has a dedicated way to fill those grids: it enters each cell, commits it, and reads it back, then chooses accounts from the dropdowns by name. Accounting courses built on a Cambridge Business Publishers textbook use My Business Course (MBC) instead, which has its own page.
Is this the same as the SmartBook bot?
No. SmartBook adaptive reading is a different assignment from Connect homework, worksheets and quizzes, and the app works each one the way its page needs. It tells them apart from the page the Canvas link opens.
Does it use up my Check my work attempts?
It can, the same way you would. McGraw Hill lets instructors set “a limit on the number of times your students can check their work on each question” or apply “a percent deduction on each question where a student checks the answer,” and the deduction is applied once per question. The agent works within whatever your instructor set, and it cannot restore a check once used.
Will it take timed Connect quizzes or exams?
Homework and ordinary quizzes, yes. It does not check for a timer, so don't queue a timed quiz you want to pace yourself. Tests that need a proctoring tool are yours to take.
Which plan do I need?
Any plan. Every plan includes the vision agent that works this platform; plans differ only in credits. See the pricing page for details.
