Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI Tutor access my documents?
expand_moreWhen you upload a document, the AI Tutor can reference its content in your conversations. Ask it to "quiz me on my uploaded PDF" or "explain the key concepts" and it will use those materials to assist you.
What file types can I upload?
expand_morePDFs, images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP), videos (MP4, MOV, AVI), and plain text files (TXT, MD). Files are stored securely on Cloudflare R2, encrypted at rest and in transit.
How do I sign in with Google?
