Using the AI Study Assistant
The AI Study Assistant is a conversational helper you reach from Study → AI Assistant in the sidebar. Ask it in plain language to create tasks, schedule study blocks, add events, or answer questions about your schedule, exams and workload — and it never changes anything until you confirm the inline action card it proposes.
What it is
The AI Study Assistant is a conversational assistant that can read and update your study data — create tasks and study blocks, set up exams and events, and answer questions about your schedule — always with your confirmation before it acts. You talk to it in plain language, and it does the work of finding the right times, subjects and deadlines for you.
Where to find it
Open Study → AI Assistant in the sidebar.
How to use it
- Open Study → AI Assistant.
- Ask in plain language, for example *"add a 2-hour essay task due Friday"* or *"how does next week look?"*.
- When it proposes an action, review and confirm the action card it shows. The change only happens after you click Confirm.
What you can ask it to do
Answer questions about your schedule and workload (no confirmation needed — these just read your data):
- Check what's on your calendar (scheduled study blocks and class meetings).
- List your upcoming tasks and deadlines, optionally by subject.
- List upcoming exams and how much prep you've scheduled for each.
- Analyse your workload — daily totals versus your preferred hours — to flag if you're overloaded.
- Find free time windows that fit a task before its deadline.
- Find overlapping free time with friends, or which friends are in your classes.
Take actions on your behalf — each of these shows an inline Confirm/Cancel card, and nothing is written until you confirm:
- Create a task (title and due date; it can also capture estimated effort and subject).
- Schedule a study block on your calendar, optionally linked to a task.
- Add a one-off calendar event (office hours, club meetings, appointments).
- Invite friends to an existing study session.
Help you prepare for exams:
- Show your prep progress for an upcoming exam (topics covered, response types practised, weak and strong areas, overall confidence).
- Generate practice prompts aligned to your exam and curriculum.
- Evaluate a practice response — typed or a photo of handwritten work — against the marking criteria, returning per-criterion scores, strengths, improvements and a short model rewrite.
- Record your self-rated confidence and weak/strong areas for an exam.
Actions are always confirmed
Whenever the assistant wants to create or change something, it proposes it as an inline Confirm/Cancel card right in the chat. The action only runs after you click Confirm — so you're always in control and can cancel anything you didn't mean.
Tips
- Be specific about dates and times. If you leave out a due date or start time, the assistant will ask one quick follow-up rather than guess.
- You can ask follow-up questions in the same conversation — it keeps the context of what you've been discussing.
