AI-evaluated small-group discussions that replace discussion boards
Turn existing readings and materials into AI-evaluated group or solo discussion modules with your own prompts and learning objectives.
Students talk through a case or question in small groups while instructors receive ranked insights, transcripts and per-student metrics.
An oral assessment mode asks students to answer out loud, surfacing reasoning rather than recall and resisting easy AI shortcuts.
A ready-made library of cases, simulations and community-authored modules that instructors can mix, match and deploy quickly.

Every response is anchored to your source document with clickable citations that scroll to the exact passage, so verification takes seconds instead of page-by-page searching.
Organize documents into folders and query many files in a single conversation to compare arguments, cross-reference findings, or study a whole syllabus at once.
Condense long papers, reports, and contracts into key takeaways, and translate or query documents in any language — including mixing a source language with a different question language.
Generate flashcards and slide decks from your material, and use the built-in AI writer and AI detector for drafting and checking academic text.
