Guide to Getting the Best Results with AI Tutor

Learn how to effectively use the AI Tutor for personalized learning and study assistance

Welcome to this guide on maximizing your learning experience with StudyOn's AI Tutor! This guide will help you understand how to interact with the AI Tutor effectively and get the most accurate, helpful responses for your studies.

Understanding How AI Tutor Works

The AI Tutor is designed to help you learn by answering questions, creating study materials, and providing explanations based on your uploaded materials and its general knowledge.

  • Why materials matter: The AI Tutor's responses are most accurate when based on your specific study materials rather than its general knowledge.
  • Material-based responses: When the tutor uses your materials, it can provide precise, contextually relevant answers that align with your course content.

Important: Always upload materials with correct, detailed information to ensure the AI Tutor provides accurate, course-specific responses.

Using @Material Tag

To get the most accurate responses, use the @Material tag when asking questions:

  • How to use: Include "@Material" in your questions when you want answers based on your uploaded content.
  • Examples:
    • "Can you explain the concept of photosynthesis from @Material?"
    • "What are the key themes in Chapter 5 of @Material?"

This helps the AI Tutor understand that you want responses based on your specific materials rather than its general knowledge.

Creating Study Resources

The AI Tutor can help you create various study resources from your materials:

  • Summarization:
    • "Can you summarize @Material?"
    • "Please provide a summary of Chapter 3 from @Material"
  • Study Guides:
    • "Can you create study guides from @Material?"
    • "Generate a comprehensive study guide for the Civil War section in @Material"

These features help you organize and understand your study materials more effectively.

Web Search Integration

The AI Tutor includes a web searching feature that can be enabled to supplement your learning:

  • When to use: Enable web searching when you need additional context or want to verify information.
  • Benefits:
    • Access to up-to-date information
    • Broader context for your study topics
    • Verification of concepts from multiple sources

While web searching can provide additional context, remember that your course materials should be the primary source for exam-related content.

Best Practices for Questions

To get the most helpful responses from the AI Tutor:

  • Be specific: Ask clear, focused questions about particular topics or concepts
  • Reference materials: Use @Material tag when you need course-specific answers
  • Request explanations: Ask for examples or analogies to better understand complex topics

  • Uploading relevant course materials before starting
  • Organizing materials by topic or chapter for easier reference
  • Using a combination of summarization and study guide features
  • Taking advantage of both material-based knowledge and web search when appropriate

Conclusion
