AI Tutor is currently in beta. Functionality will evolve, and we may modify or remove certain features based on user feedback and stability. This feature is only available if AI Assistant is enabled.

Boost learner success without disrupting the flow of learning with AI Tutor. In-course chat support allows learners to ask questions, get simpler explanations, request examples, or summarize key points without leaving the training. Read on to learn how to enable it.

Enable AI Tutor

As a course author, you can enable AI Tutor in any training you choose, whether it’s a course or microlearning. Here’s how:

1. Open the course or microlearning you want to enable AI Tutor for.
2. Click the AI Assistant button in the top right, then choose AI settings from the drop-down menu.
3. In the AI settings window, go to the AI Tutor tab, toggle the switch to enable AI Tutor.
   • If you turn off AI Tutor in a published course, you need to republish the course to remove the learner-facing Ask AI Tutor button.
4. If you have a brand image or logo to upload, click the upload image icon at the bottom.
   • The image will appear in the AI Tutor chat window header.
   • To delete an uploaded image, click the delete icon.
5. Click Done to save your settings.

Once enabled, the Ask AI Tutor button displays in the lower-right corner of your course, visible in the preview and the published version. Click the button to open the chat window. Prebuilt prompts for explaining, searching, or summarizing the training content display. Use the chat box to enter custom requests.

If learners don’t click the Ask AI Tutor button on the course overview page, AI Tutor automatically opens the first time they scroll down in a lesson.

Compatibility and Accessibility

AI Tutor has a fully responsive, touch-friendly design. It supports screen readers and keyboard navigation, works with translated and localized courses, and is compatible with Quick Share, Reach 360, and LMS outputs.

Network Requirements

AI Tutor needs access to external network services to work properly. On highly restricted networks, like some corporate intranets or allow-listed environments, it may be limited or unavailable. If you run into issues, ask your IT team to allowlist the required Articulate 360 network endpoints.

We’re excited about how AI Tutor can help you, as an author, in supporting your learners during training. While this feature is still evolving, your feedback will help improve it.

FAQs

Is AI Tutor the same as AI Assistant?

No. AI Assistant is for authors, while AI Tutor is for learners. AI Assistant helps authors build training by generating, refining, and editing content in authoring tools like Rise 360 and Storyline 360.

AI Tutor assists learners while they are taking a training. Embedded in the course experience, Ask AI Tutor answers questions and guides learners through concepts, helping them understand the material better.

Will AI Tutor reveal answers to quizzes and knowledge checks?

No. AI Tutor is designed to support learning, not bypass it. Learners will not be able to extract answers from AI Tutor during quizzes or knowledge checks. This ensures that Ask AI Tutor enhances comprehension while maintaining the instructional intent of assessments.

Does AI Tutor support languages other than English?

AI Tutor works with translated and localized courses, and its underlying large language model (LLM) can understand and respond in languages supported by OpenAI.

Does AI Tutor pull content from outside the course?

No. AI Tutor is grounded in the content found in the training. It uses the published course material as its primary knowledge source and tailors responses to the specific content the learner is working on. AI Tutor does not browse the web. Responses stay relevant, controlled, and aligned with the author’s intended learning experience.

Does the course author have visibility into the learner’s chat?

By default, learner conversations with AI Tutor are private to the learner and the system for functionality and improvement purposes. The ability to provide course creators with course-relevant, anonymized feedback from learner sessions is coming soon.

Any data handling complies with Articulate’s privacy, security, and data processing standards.

Does learner feedback get shared with Articulate?

Yes. We use thumbs-up/thumbs-down feedback and interactions to improve AI Tutor, but any data is handled according to Articulate’s privacy, security, and data processing standards and is anonymized whenever possible.

Can AI Tutor answer questions about video content?

Not yet. AI Tutor currently focuses on text content. We're exploring support for video content. 

Can AI Tutor share source content within the chat?

AI Tutor can reference course content in its responses, but direct access to source files isn’t available at this time. We’re considering ways to expand this, such as through a resource library.
