New in Labs: AI Tutor
Right now, it's a fantastic feature. I'd want to give it a try, however whenever I try to use AI Assist's new AI Tutor feature, it always responds with the same message: Something went wrong. Try making a new request or refreshing the page.
Additionally, I would like restrict the tutor's resources to relying just on the submitted materials.
Hi Michaelmicha298,
Sorry to hear that you're having trouble!
I've shared your feedback with AmyGreive1 and her team so they can take a closer look at what might be getting in the way. We appreciate you letting us know!
Thank you for this feedback!
The error you saw was related to an authentication issue that we’ve since fixed. Please re-publish your course to Quick Share and try again. After republishing, the AI Tutor should work as expected.
Regarding your second point: AI Tutor is designed to rely only on the content included in the course itself and doesn’t pull from external sources or the broader web. That said, we’re aware that it can sometimes drift into more general topics depending on how a learner prompts it. Improving how tightly the tutor stays grounded in the course context is something we’re actively working on.
Thank you kindly for helping us test things out in Rise Labs! 😁
Another idea: is there a way to limit the AI tutor when the user is responding to test, quiz, or assessment questions?
Yes! Your thought is right on target. AI Tutor is designed to support learning without giving away answers to quizzes or knowledge checks. It aims to guide learners toward understanding rather than bypassing assessments, so they shouldn’t be able to extract direct answers during those moments.
