One thing, three names. In these docs we call your assistant a Digital Twin. You will also see it called an Instance — on the Instance Settings panel, in the admin Instances list, and in your web address (your-instance.praxislxp.com) — and an Institution, which is what our software calls it behind the scenes (in API fields such as institution). All three mean exactly the same thing: one assistant, with its own knowledge, voice, members and settings. Which name you see depends on the screen you are on, not on what the thing is. An Account is different — it is the organisation that owns one or more Digital Twins.

Integrate Your Digital Twins with Canvas

There are two ways to put Digital Twins inside Canvas: across your whole Canvas account, or course by course. This page helps a Canvas administrator choose between them.

Custom Theme (Preferred)

Enable Praxis AI across your Canvas account as an overlay: a Canvas administrator assigns a custom Canvas theme.
  • Praxis AI appears as a floating assistant button on course pages.
  • Consistent, branded experience across all sub-accounts. Praxis Canvas Theme Overlay

LTI v1.3

Add Praxis AI on a course-by-course basis using Canvas LTI v1.3 integration.
  • Faculty place Praxis AI as a specific module or activity within courses.
  • Students access assistance only where configured by the instructor. Praxis Canvas LTI Integration
