Frequently Asked Questions

PerTutor AI is an innovative educational platform that allows organizations to create customizable AI tutors. These AI agents can teach specific subjects using uploaded materials and provide interactive, personalized learning experiences through text and voice conversations.

Educators upload teaching materials (PDFs, documents) and configure AI agents with specific prompts and personalities. Students then interact with these AI tutors through conversational lessons, receiving personalized instruction, explanations, and assessments tailored to their learning needs.

PerTutor AI is designed for educational institutions, corporate training departments, tutoring centers, and any organization looking to provide scalable, personalized learning experiences. Individual educators can also create and share their AI tutors.

No technical skills are required! Our platform is designed to be user-friendly. Educators simply upload their materials and write instructions in plain language. Students interact through natural conversations, just like chatting with a human tutor.

Unlike generic AI chatbots, PerTutor AI agents are specialized tutors trained on your specific educational materials. They provide structured learning paths, track progress, generate Bloom's Taxonomy-based assessments, and maintain consistent teaching approaches aligned with your curriculum. Plus, our Agent Builder with template library and marketplace sharing makes creating powerful tutors accessible to all educators.

Yes! Organizations can enable voice features, allowing students to have natural spoken conversations with AI tutors. This is particularly beneficial for language learning, accessibility, and creating more engaging learning experiences.

AI tutors can teach virtually any subject where you have teaching materials. Common uses include academic subjects (math, science, history), language learning, professional skills, compliance training, and specialized technical topics.

The platform automatically generates quizzes based on your materials using Bloom's Taxonomy levels. This ensures comprehensive assessment from basic recall to complex analysis and evaluation, with immediate feedback and explanations.

An organization is your team's private workspace where you manage AI tutors, invite members, and track learning activities. Each organization has its own agents, students, and settings, ensuring data privacy and customization.

There's no hard limit on organization size. You can invite individual users or use our bulk import feature to add hundreds of students at once via CSV/Excel files. The platform scales to accommodate institutions of any size.

Organization admins can upload CSV or Excel files containing user information (email, name, role) to invite multiple users simultaneously. The system validates the data, processes invitations in the background, and provides detailed progress tracking and error reporting. Perfect for institutions onboarding entire classes or departments.

There are four roles: Students (take lessons), Educators (create AI agents), Admins (manage members and settings), and Owners (full organization control). Each role has appropriate permissions for their responsibilities.

Yes! Users can be members of multiple organizations with different roles in each. For example, someone might be a student in one organization and an educator in another. Easy switching between organizations is built into the platform.

Creating AI agents is simple with our intuitive Agent Builder. Educators upload teaching materials (PDFs, documents), choose from pre-built prompt templates (Socratic, Step-by-Step, Encouraging Coach, etc.) or write custom prompts, create AI-generated avatars, and publish. The unified sidebar navigation makes it easy to configure all aspects of your agent.

No, AI agents only use the materials you upload. This ensures accurate, curriculum-aligned responses and prevents misinformation. Agents cite specific sections from your materials when answering questions.

Guided learning paths are structured curricula automatically generated from your materials. They break down content into logical sessions with clear progression, perfect for comprehensive courses or systematic skill building.

Each lesson has a 60-minute time limit to maintain focus and prevent fatigue. However, lessons can be paused and resumed anytime, and students can take unlimited lessons with the same agent.

Yes, absolutely. Each organization's data is completely isolated. Your AI agents, materials, student conversations, and analytics are private to your organization and never shared with others.

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption, secure authentication, and regular security audits. Student conversations and progress data are only accessible to authorized members of your organization.
