New in Labs: AI Tutor
This is very exciting! Can reference materials be uploaded to support the course content? I'm thinking a document with foundational information or general organizational knowledge that would not be repeated in every course. Will the tutor know content in videos uploaded in the course?
Great questions - we’re glad to hear the excitement! 🎉
AI Tutor’s knowledge is currently limited to the content that’s included directly in the course. While it doesn’t reference materials outside the course right now, we’re actively exploring ways authors might be able to upload supporting documents to provide additional context (for example, foundational information or broader organizational knowledge). Thanks for highlighting that use case - it’s a helpful one.
For videos, AI Tutor doesn’t currently analyze or interpret video content. If key information from a video is included in accompanying text within the lesson, the tutor can reference that text, but it won’t “watch” the video itself. We’ll definitely note the interest in supporting video content more directly in the future.
Really appreciate the feedback! Please keep it coming as you explore the feature!
