AI Disclosure

ZeroTheory is powered by Anthropic's Claude AI. Here's exactly how, when, and why we use it — no surprises.

⚠️ What AI Does on This Platform

Project Evaluation
When you submit a project, Claude evaluates your code against production standards. You receive a score (0–100), specific strengths, weaknesses, and actionable fixes.
Career Coaching
The AI chat provides personalized learning paths, career advice, and answers to your technical questions.
Feedback Generation
Weekly challenge feedback, quiz hints, and course recommendations are all AI-generated.
Support Responses
Initial support ticket responses may be handled by AI before human review.

What AI Does NOT Do

✅Make hiring decisions — all recruiter matching is a tool, final decisions are human
✅Access your private GitHub repositories without permission
✅Train on your project code or share it with third parties
✅Issue certificates autonomously — certificates require minimum score thresholds
✅Replace human instructors for complex queries (you can always request human review)

AI Limitations We Acknowledge

  • AI evaluations are not perfect — they can miss context or make errors
  • Scores reflect technical correctness, not creativity or problem-solving uniqueness
  • AI feedback is based on common patterns — novel approaches may be scored lower
  • We continuously improve evaluation prompts based on user feedback
