Clarifying Conversation with Image allows creators to upload images that become a part of the chat interaction. Upon uploading the image, a new answer field will be generated, incorporating elements of the image into the context of the correct response to the question.
Note: This activity type works best if you already have an existing image you’d like to use.
During the chat itself, the AI will refer to the image as part of the conversation. Similarly, the learner can ask questions about the image and include aspects of the image into the discussion.
This feature will further support learners by engaging them with a visual element designed to guide them more deeply in exploring the content at hand. It also allows creators the ability to include content that may not lend itself to a purely text description. These visuals can introduce new and important material that previously would not have been part of the learning experience.

Image Guidelines
Make sure the image you are uploading has a 16:9 aspect ratio (ex: 1920x1080 pixels).
You can upload a variety of different types of images, such as: bar graphs, pie charts, infographics, static images, diagrams, and many more!
The image will only become part of the AI conversation if it is relevant to the question.
If the image is not relevant, the AI will not refer to the image during the conversation. However, students can still ask questions about the image and the AI will know about it and respond accordingly.

Edits made to the video or narration text will not be reflected in the question.
