The AI Tutor Agent is an interactive agent that walks students through complex concepts step by step — using their own uploaded materials rather than Wikipedia-style summaries.

What makes it different

A normal chatbot hands you an answer. The AI Tutor Agent teaches — it breaks a concept down, paces the explanation, and grounds every step in the materials you uploaded to AI-Memory.

How to use it

  1. Open the AI Tutor Agent on your canvas.

  2. Point it at the material you want to learn — mention the relevant file from your AI-Memory.

  3. Tell it the concept or topic you're working through.

  4. Follow along as it walks you through the concept step by step.

Best for

  • Difficult topics you want to genuinely understand, not just memorize

  • Revising directly from your own course materials

  • Building understanding before an exam or assessment

Tip

Because the Tutor uses your uploaded materials, the more complete your AI-Memory, the more closely the tutoring matches your actual course.
