What is a teaching assistant?

A custom AI answer engine built around your knowledge, methods, materials and business information.

The assistant answers your students’ questions, explains ideas, provides guidance, helps with practice, and gives accurate information about your courses, retreats, workshops or other offerings.

The assistant works the way you do, using your content, your terminology and your approach.

The difference

Not a general chatbot

General chatbots know a little about everything. A teaching assistant knows your subject, your way of teaching and your business.

Details

Any questions?

My students aren’t technical. Will they actually use this?

No app to download and nothing new to learn. They open the link or scan the QR code, type a question, and the assistant answers.

Does this replace my course, website or materials?

No. Keep using whatever already works. The assistant sits alongside it and answers the questions your materials can’t anticipate.

What stops it from making things up?

The assistant is built around your content. When it doesn’t have the information, the assistant says so rather than guessing.

How much work is this going to add?

None, if you don’t want it to. When something changes, like dates, prices or a new offering, you update it through your panel.

Can it look like it belongs to my business?

Yes. The assistant carries your name, colours and branding, with its own permanent link and QR code.

Still have a question? Ask us.
