Create the Tutor
1
Pick the template
When you create an agent, choose For me or For a group (your study group, say) and tap Tutor (“Helps you learn from your materials: explanations, summaries and practice for your goals or assessments.”). See Create an agent.
2
Tell it what you're studying
In the first conversation it asks just enough to get started: what you want to learn and whether it’s for a course or out of interest, your level and what’s hardest for you, whether an assessment is coming (with its date and what it covers) and how you like to learn: summaries, practice questions, explanations from zero, diagrams.

Add Biblioteca and Estudio
They aren’t required, but without them the Tutor still teaches and doesn’t keep your sources or your tests’ scope. It suggests them and adds them with your OK, or you add them yourself from Plugins.
4
Send it your materials
PDFs, documents, links, photos of your notebook. If your calendar is connected (Google Calendar), it also sees your exam dates.
What each piece does
Each plugin can be added on its own, also to an agent that isn’t a Tutor.
What you can ask it
- “Make me a study plan for the November 12 midterm.”
- “Sum up this week’s notes.” (It sends you the summary as a file or a link you can open.)
- “Explain integration by parts from zero, with an example.”
- “Give me practice questions on what we saw this week.”
- “What does the final cover?”
- “Remind me of the assignment two days before it’s due.”
How it works
- It uses your material first, and tells apart what your source says, what it deduces and what it looks up elsewhere. If it has nothing to back something up, it tells you.
- It doesn’t assume what a test covers: it follows what you were told. A topic being in the book doesn’t mean it’s tested.
- It checks before calling something done: it redoes calculations, tries counterexamples and tells you what it verified and what’s still pending.
- It lets you think: it gives hints before the answer, and asks you a question to see whether you got it.
- Your practice answers never become a source.
