Create a new Tutor

Written by Kat Morgan

A tutor is an AI assistant you set up for a particular subject, topic or class. You can build one by talking to the Educator Agent, or write the prompt yourself.


​

Starting a new tutor

1. Open My Library from the sidebar.

2. Click Create in the top right, then Tutor.

The Create menu, with Tutor highlighted


​

3. Choose how you want to build it.

The tutor chooser: With Agent or From scratch


​

  • With Agent opens a conversation with the Educator Agent. Tell it what you need, in your own words, and it writes the tutor for you. Easiest if you are not sure how to phrase a prompt.

  • From scratch gives you the form: a name and a prompt you write yourself. Best when you know exactly what you want the tutor to do.


​

Writing it from scratch

Give the tutor a Name your students will recognise, then write the Prompt. The prompt is the instruction set: who the tutor is for, what it should do, and what it should not do. The formatting toolbar takes headings, bullets and numbered lists if a longer prompt is easier to read that way.

Create the tutor and it opens ready to chat.


​

Next steps

Before you assign it to a class, have a conversation with it yourself and adjust the settings. See Testing your tutor, How to use Socratic mode and Using the Knowledge base.
