A one-to-one AI tutor that answers from your own course.

The learner works through the material with an AI tutor, in writing or out loud. It answers from your course, says so when something is not in it, and is named as AI wherever the learner meets it.

Why it works

Help at the moment it is needed.

Most questions come up alone, halfway through a reading or right after a first try, when there is no one to ask. The tutor is there then, and it teaches rather than just answering.

An AI coach in Alma, helping a learner choose a leadership focus before a practice conversation. The learner says they want to get better at time management. The coach replies that time management is still broad and asks for one behavior to change. The learner names prioritization, and the coach asks what they would like to do differently when their team lead adds a request.

It answers from your course

Answers come from the course's own lectures, readings and cases, not from the open internet. When something is not in the course, it says so instead of guessing.

In writing or out loud

The learner types or talks, one-to-one, in dozens of languages. The tutor is named as AI wherever they meet it, and the instructor can read the conversation.

As a coach, it asks back

In coaching, the AI coach answers a question with a harder one. A learner who wants to work on time management is told that is still broad, and is asked for one behavior they want to change.

What your people decide and see

Your instructor or your expert approves what each tutor will and will not do.

The AI tutor supports the teaching of your instructor or your expert, and does not replace it.

Its role and its limits

Each tutor has a written role, a way of questioning, and limits, such as never handing over the answer. Your people approve these before a learner meets it.

Practice or scored

A tutor conversation can be practice only, or scored against criteria the learner can open before starting. Feedback quotes their own words and names what is missing, and grading is your choice: AI-graded and human-confirmed, fully by people, or fully by AI.

Where it fits

The tutor is there at every step.

It can help plan an approach, explain a reading, or go back over a first try. Three examples, with the tutor in a different place each time.

To plan before trying

  1. AI coaching
  2. Practice conversation
  3. Scored simulation
  4. Reflection

The coach helps the learner work out an approach before the practice conversation, so the first try is a real one. A scored simulation follows, and the learner reflects on what changed.

To understand a reading

  1. Reading
  2. AI tutor
  3. Knowledge check
  4. Discussion

The learner reads, then works through what they did not follow with the tutor, which answers from that reading. The knowledge check shows what stuck, and the discussion puts it to use.

To learn from a first try

  1. Case study
  2. Practice conversation
  3. AI coaching
  4. A second conversation

The case sets the situation and the conversation forces a decision. Coaching goes back over the reasoning, and a second conversation tests whether it holds.
