How does the AI tutor answer my students' questions?
A student stuck at 10pm has nobody to ask. Switch on the AI tutor on the Delivery screen and it answers them there and then, only from what you put in your course, naming the lesson it used.

Questions
What does it read?#
Only what you put in: lesson words, what you say in lesson videos, and recordings of your sessions once they have their words. Never lesson discussion or students' notes.
What if it cannot help?#
No, ask and your name hands the question to you, and the student can send you a message from the tutor.
Each question a student asks uses your AI credit, usually one AI request and never more than three. Questions it hands straight to you cost nothing, and so does reading and replying to them; the preview uses your credit too. Each student can ask 6 questions in 5 minutes and 40 in 20 hours. If the top of your course shows Publish changes, press it once. That brings your students today's tools and anything you have changed on your course page.
