Tutors AI is GenAI augmentation into Tutors which enhances students' learning experience and empowers content creators to adjust content based on demand.

Tutors is a learning platform used by SETU students to access lectures and labs. It provides transformative learning experiences using open web standards. Tutors AI project facilitates diverse academic needs and learning styles by embedding several GenAI features into the Tutors app, such as "Chat with Tutors AI", "Explain Like I'm Five" and "AI Powered Web Search". It also includes "Tutors AI for Content Creators", a feature for lecturers which highlights areas where students need more support and provides insights for further content improvement.

The inspiration for the project came from Dr. Barbara Oakley’s “Learn how to learn” course, where she recommends using analogies to improve understanding of complex systems.

Tutors AI will help students to find answers to challenging questions and concepts within their online learning environment in real-time, encouraging deeper engagement with course materials. Data is available to adapt content to student needs. Ultimately it will minimise the time lecturers spend explaining basic concepts, allowing them to dedicate more attention to addressing advanced students’ questions.
