A Tutor is a custom AI assistant you build in Zense AI.

Its knowledge base lets it answer from your files first — class notes, textbooks, study guides — so responses stay accurate and on-syllabus.

Think of a Tutor as a subject-specific assistant that knows your curriculum, not just general AI knowledge. Once created, it lives in your sidebar and can be shared with students or colleagues.

Why use a Tutor?

Tutors combine the flexibility of Chat with the precision of your own teaching materials. They are especially useful when you want students to explore a topic without drifting off-syllabus.

• Grounded answers — follows your knowledge base, not just general AI knowledge.
• Tutor Studio — generate flashcards, notes, mind maps, slide decks, podcasts, datasheets, infographics, and voice calls from your material.
• Custom behavior — system prompt, persona, reply length, study mode, welcome message, and structured start forms.
• Class management — assign students, set missions, run live sessions, and evaluate progress.
• Tutor Hub — import community tutors published by other educators.

Tutor layout

When you open a Tutor:

• Left panel — Knowledge Base uploads (owners) and file list for students when visible.
• Center — chat with the Tutor.
• Right panel (Tutor Panel) — tabs below.

General settings (name, model, persona, study mode, welcome message) live in the tutor header / settings — not as a right-panel tab.
