What Ask AI is

Ask AI is an AI-powered study assistant available to every student in the app. It helps students work through problems when their tutor isn’t available — late at night, on weekends, or any time they’re stuck. It is not a shortcut for getting answers. Ask AI walks students through problems step-by-step so they understand the method, not just the result.

​
What students can do

​
Ask a question in text

Students type a question or describe what they’re stuck on. Ask AI responds with a guided explanation, working through the problem step by step.

​
Upload a photo

Students take a photo of a problem from their textbook, worksheet, or exam paper and upload it. Ask AI reads the problem and provides step-by-step guidance. Works for:
  • Printed questions and diagrams
  • Handwritten working (for feedback on where an error occurred)
  • Calculator screenshots or CAS output

​
Escalate to their tutor

If Ask AI can’t fully resolve the confusion, students press Save question to add it to their saved questions list. It appears in the tutor’s view at the start of the next session — the tutor can see exactly what the student was stuck on.

​
How to access Ask AI

Mobile app: tap Ask AI in the bottom navigation bar (chat bubble icon). Desktop: click Ask AI in the sidebar.

​
Curriculum alignment

Ask AI’s responses are tailored to the Australian curriculum — VCAA for VCE subjects, ACARA for junior years. It uses the correct formulas, notation, and exam expectations for each subject.

​
What Ask AI is not

  • It does not complete assignments for students — it guides them through the process.
  • It does not replace the tutor. For persistent gaps or exam strategy, tutor sessions are the primary tool.
  • It does not have access to a student’s personal data outside the current conversation.

​
For tutors: seeing what students asked

Tutors see questions a student saved from Ask AI sessions via Teaching → [student] → Saved Questions — a useful starting point for each session.
