AI Knowledge Tutor

A learner walked through a problem step by step, with understanding checked before moving to the next one.

Learners often get stuck between lessons, when no tutor is around to help. AI Knowledge Tutor works through a problem with them one step at a time, asking questions and checking understanding before it moves on. It stays inside the curriculum you approve, guides practice instead of handing over answers, and passes anything outside your policies to a person on your team.

  • Step-by-step help grounded only in your curriculum
  • Understanding checked before the learner moves on
  • Questions outside your topics handed to a person

What it is

AI Knowledge Tutor works through a problem with a learner one step at a time, asking questions, checking understanding and adjusting before moving on, grounded only in the curriculum you approve. It guides practice rather than answering a lookup question outright.

Why businesses buy it

One-to-one help is what struggling learners need and what few programs can afford to staff. Without it, learners stall on the same problems, drop out quietly or copy answers without understanding them. This build gives every learner patient, guided practice on your own material, on the channel they already use, while your educators handle the conversations that need a person. The Scope Card sets the channel, the documents and the intents in writing before you order, so you know exactly what the tutor covers.

Problems this solves

Learners get stuck between sessions with nobody to work through problems

The tutor works through a problem with a learner one step at a time. It asks questions, checks understanding and adjusts before moving on, through one channel such as a website widget.

Generic chat tools hand learners the answer instead of teaching

The tutor guides practice rather than answering outright. It is grounded only in the curriculum you approve, up to 100 documents or 200 web pages.

Tutors spend one-to-one time on questions the course already covers

If tutor time is stretched, the AI tutor can handle routine practice from your materials. Questions that need a person go through the agreed human handoff, such as email or helpdesk.

Help drifts away from what your course actually teaches

Answers are drawn only from your approved curriculum, with up to five defined intents. A test set of 40 questions with pass or fail results checks this before launch.

A good fit if

Learners need to be walked through a problem or a concept step by step, not just handed the final answer.
You already have curriculum material, worked examples or practice sets a new tutor could learn from.
You want the tutor live on a website widget, Slack or Microsoft Teams, wherever learners already study.
You want anything outside the approved curriculum handed to a real person, not guessed at mid-session.

Not the right fit if

Learners mostly want a quick lookup answer rather than guided practice. See AI Learning Assistant, built for FAQ-style course questions.
Your question is scoped to one specific course's logistics and schedule. See AI Course Assistant.
You need the tutor to write and score full assessments, not just guide practice. See AI Assessment Agent.
You need more than five intents or more than one delivery channel at once. Add a note at checkout for a Change Quote.

How it works

  1. Your curriculum, worked examples, practice sets and readings, up to 100 documents or 200 web pages, is loaded as the tutor's only source of knowledge.
  2. Your top 20 FAQs with approved answers are added so common sticking points get exactly the explanation you wrote.
  3. A learner starts a session through the website widget, Slack or Microsoft Teams channel you chose, describing the problem they are working on.
  4. The tutor breaks the problem into steps, asking a guiding question at each one rather than giving the answer away up front, up to five intents plus handoff.
  5. It checks the learner's response before moving to the next step, and revisits a step if the answer shows a gap.
  6. Anything outside the approved curriculum is handed to the person you named by email or helpdesk, with the session context attached.

What you provide within 72 hours

Your portal lists these the moment you order. Delivery starts the working day after everything is in and your access is checked.

  • The curriculum documents or website URLs the tutor should learn from, worked examples and practice sets.
  • Your top 20 FAQs with the answers you want used, written in your own wording.
  • Escalation email or helpdesk access, so sessions outside the curriculum reach a real person.
  • Website admin access, or your developer's help, to install the widget where learners will see it.
  • Your logo and brand colors, so the tutor matches your existing course pages.
  • Admin access and API keys for every connected system, shared by adding our team as a user or creating a key you control, never by email.
  • One person on your side who can approve decisions during the build.
  • An API key for your own AI model account (for example OpenAI or Google Gemini), created for this build with a spending limit.
The 72-hour rule. Send everything on your checklist, including access, within 72 hours of ordering so your build starts on time.

Expected benefits and how to measure them

  • Can give learners step-by-step help outside scheduled sessions
  • Helps tutors focus their time on learners who need a person
  • Makes practice support stay close to your own curriculum
Tutor sessions used each week
Count sessions in the tutor's log each week after launch to see how often learners use it.
Questions handed to a person
Track handoffs in the tutor's log monthly. A steady or falling count suggests content is covering what learners ask.
Assessment scores for active users
Compare assessment scores from your LMS for a cohort before launch with the next cohort after.

Before you start: Record current tutor hours spent on one-to-one help and the last cohort's assessment scores.

These are things to track, not promised results. Outcomes depend on your data, your team and your market.

Running costs

The build price is one-time. Running it is billed in your own accounts, mostly AI model usage and hosting: roughly $30 to $150 a month, depending on how many tutoring sessions run.

AI usage during the build and testing is also billed to your accounts, so you keep ownership of every provider relationship. Nothing runs through us.

Custom requirements

If you need something outside the Scope Card, add a note at checkout. You get a written Change Quote, and that work only starts once you accept it. Your original order runs on its normal timeline either way. Larger or bespoke projects go through the Custom AI request form instead.

Keep it running

For AI Knowledge Tutor we recommend monthly maintenance: monitoring, fixes, and monthly change hours, enough for new worked examples or a curriculum refresh. Maintenance starts after the thirty days of support, bills monthly, and can be cancelled any month.

$249/mo (the minimum fee, includes 2 change hours)

Optional. Starts after the post-launch support period. Cancel any month.

Questions about this product

How much does AI Knowledge Tutor cost?

The build is a one-time fixed price, shown in the price panel on this page beside each delivery speed. It covers the tutor on one channel, grounding in your curriculum documents, the agreed intents with human handoff, testing and your review rounds on the Scope Card. There is no charge from us per learner or per tutoring session. AI usage and hosting are billed to your own accounts.

How long until AI Knowledge Tutor is live?

The delivery time is fixed before you buy and shown in the delivery panel on this page, with faster options where offered. It starts once your curriculum documents, worked examples and channel access are in. Most of the build goes into shaping how the tutor questions and guides learners on your material, then testing it on real problems before your review rounds and launch.

What is the difference between AI Knowledge Tutor and AI Learning Assistant?

AI Knowledge Tutor walks a learner through a problem step by step, checking understanding before moving on. AI Learning Assistant instead answers direct lookup questions from your materials without guided practice. If learners need quick answers rather than a worked-through session, AI Learning Assistant is the better fit.

What curriculum material does AI Knowledge Tutor need from us?

We need the curriculum documents or website URLs the tutor should learn from, up to 100 documents or 200 web pages, including worked examples and practice sets, plus your top 20 FAQs with approved answers. Website admin access to install the widget is shared by adding our team as a user or creating a key you control, never by email.

What does AI Knowledge Tutor cost to run each month?

Running costs are separate from the build price and paid directly to your own providers, typically $30 to $150 a month for AI model usage and hosting. Programs with more learners running sessions sit toward the higher end. Monthly maintenance is optional and includes change hours.

Can we add new worked examples to AI Knowledge Tutor later?

Yes. Two rounds of changes are included in the build, so most adjustments to curriculum or examples happen before launch based on the 40 test questions. After that, updates for a new term's material fit inside the monthly change hours that come with maintenance, and expanding past 100 documents comes as a quoted add-on.

Does AI Knowledge Tutor just give the answer if a learner is stuck?

No. It is built to guide, asking a smaller question or offering a hint at the step where the learner is stuck, rather than skipping to the final answer. If a learner is genuinely stuck after several attempts, the session is handed to the person you named rather than the tutor simply revealing the solution.

Who owns the curriculum and session data afterwards?

You do. Every document, FAQ and session log stays under your own account and hosting throughout the build and afterwards, and we never hold a separate copy. We configure and test the tutoring and handoff logic, hand over an admin guide and a recorded session, then step away at launch, apart from the 30 days of included support that follow.

Stop leaving learners stuck between office hours.

Order AI Knowledge Tutor and it starts walking learners through problems step by step on a fixed delivery date. The scope above is what you get, in writing, before you pay.
