Features of the Contact North AI Tutor Pro
Features of this tool are:
- Confidential and anonymous – No personal information is required.
- Comprehensive – AI Tutor Pro responds with learning material and questions related to any subject a student is studying at any institution.
- Focused and student-centred – The system asks focused questions and provides resources to help students learn but does so in a way that is supportive and not critical.
- Instant feedback and summary – In the CHECK mode, AI Tutor Pro continues to ask questions until the student is satisfied they have understood the subject. If the student asks for a summary table of their responses, the system will provide it. The table shows the question, the answer the student gave and the correct answer.
- Constantly learning – As with many large language models, ChatGPT (which powers AI Tutor Pro) learns from its users and continually improves its questions and responses.
