The Students tab (for tutor owners)

The Students tab (for tutor owners) turns a Tutor from a personal assistant into a classroom tool β€” roster, missions, live sessions, evaluations, and Interactive Space live here. Students see a separate Missions tab when missions are enabled.

Add students to a Tutor

Assigning students gives them access to the Tutor and lets you track their questions and mission progress.

  1. Open your Tutor β†’ Students tab.
  2. Click Manage Students or Add Students.
  3. Search by name, email, or class; select students and save.

The list shows questions asked, mission progress, and last question per student. Open History to view their conversations with this Tutor.

Create a mission

Missions give students structured goals (up to 5 per tutor).

Missions turn open-ended chat into measurable learning objectives. Each mission has a name, description, and completion criteria that Chat's mission-checking agent monitors automatically.

Teachers: open the Students tab β†’ scroll to the Missions section (not a separate top-level tab).

  1. Turn missions on and click Create a Mission.
  2. Enter name, description, and completion criteria.
  3. Use Improve with AI to refine the wording.
  4. Toggle visible to students on or off.

Students: when missions are visible, a Missions tab appears in their Tutor panel.

Chat's mission checking agent tool tracks progress against criteria.

Live session controls

During class, use Live Session settings:

Live session controls help you manage classroom pace when many students are chatting with the Tutor at once.

  • Mute students β€” block new messages from students.
  • Request frequency limit β€” minimum seconds between student messages.
  • Interactive post frequency β€” throttle posts to Interactive Space.

Settings can auto-reset when you leave a session.

Interactive Space

Students can push a conversation to the Interactive Space so the teacher sees it on the projector or shared screen.

Interactive Space is ideal for whole-class discussion β€” students share interesting questions or answers for everyone to see.

  1. Open Interactive Space in the Tutor Panel.
  2. View student-pushed threads during the session.
  3. Collapse/expand messages as needed.

Pair missions with Evaluations to measure how students engaged with the Tutor over time.
