Study in One Chat: Diagrams, Quizzes, Edits and Background Work

Set up quizzes and decks right in the chat and take them there, change anything by asking with Undo, get diagrams in answers and PDFs, and let the tutor prepare practice after a low score.

iTutor Team

Ask for it, and it happens right there in the conversation. Your iTutor chat can now set up and make a quiz, a deck or any other study item without opening a window. It plays the quiz where you asked for it, changes anything you made when you say what to change, and draws a diagram when a picture explains better than a paragraph. The work carries on after you close the tab, and when a quiz goes badly, the tutor prepares practice for you on its own.

Ask for it, set it up in the chat

Say "make me a quiz on the cell membrane" or "flashcards for chapter 4", and the tutor answers with a small setup card inside its message. It asks what the old Create window asked, such as how many questions, which language and which of your files to use, and it fills in whatever you already said. The main choices show at once and the rest wait under More choices. Tap Make it and the card becomes the item while it is being made.

The card works for every kind of item iTutor makes: quizzes, flashcards, slides, mind maps, study guides, exam simulations, audio lessons, full courses and more. The Create menu and the Studio open the same card, so nothing pops up over your conversation any more.

Cell Biology Make me a quiz on the cell membrane Sure. Check the choices below and I will make it from your files. Quiz A few choices, then I'll make it. Topic The cell membrane Number of Questions 5 10 15 20 30 More choices › Make it Made in the background. Keep chatting.
Asking for a quiz brings a setup card into the tutor's reply, already filled in with what you asked for.

Keep studying while it is made

Everything you make now runs in the background. While your quiz is being written you can ask another question, open something else, or close the tab. A small tray at the top shows what is still working, and each item's card updates by itself when it is ready. Come back later and the item is waiting in the conversation where you asked for it.

The tutor's replies work the same way. A long answer keeps being written even if you leave the page or lose your connection. Open the conversation again and the answer continues from where it had got to.

Cell Biology 1 working Make me a quiz on the cell membrane Making your quiz… Made in the background. Keep chatting. While that is being made: what does cholesterol do in the membrane? It keeps the membrane steady. In the cold it stops the lipids packing too tightly, and in the heat it stops them moving too freely.
The quiz is still being made, and the conversation carries on as normal.

Take the quiz in the chat, and stop any time

A quiz you make in the chat plays right there, one question after another. Every answer is saved as you give it, so if you reload the page, switch to your phone or come back tomorrow, the quiz opens on the question where you stopped.

Cell Biology Quiz · The cell membrane Question 4 of 10 Which of these crosses the membrane most easily on its own? A Oxygen B Glucose C Sodium ions D Proteins Next
Three answers saved, so the quiz opens on question 4.

Open the quiz on its own page to see every attempt you have made, with its date and score, and review any of them question by question. If the quiz is changed later, each old attempt keeps the questions it was actually taken with, so your history always matches what you answered.

The cell membrane 3 attempts Attempt 3 Sep 27 · 8 of 10 correct 80% Review › Attempt 2 Sep 25 · 6 of 10 correct 60% Review › Attempt 1 Sep 24 · 4 of 10 correct 40% Review ›
Every attempt is kept with its score and can be reviewed question by question.

A tutor that knows what you did

Ask "what did I get wrong?", "how did I do on last week's exam?" or "which quizzes haven't I taken yet?", and the tutor looks it up in your own items and results before it answers, instead of guessing. It can go through a quiz you just finished one question at a time and explain each mistake.

It also knows where you are in a quiz you have not finished: which questions you have answered so far, and whether you got them right. It cannot see the answer to a question you have not reached yet, so asking for help halfway through never gives the rest of the quiz away.

Cell Biology What did I get wrong? You got 8 of 10 on your last try. These are the two you missed: Q3 You chose “active transport”. It is facilitated diffusion: glucose moves down its gradient through a carrier, so no energy is used. Q7 You chose “hypotonic”. It is hypertonic: water leaves the cell, so the cell shrinks. Want a short practice set on these two?
The tutor answers from your real attempt: the questions you missed, what you chose, and why the right answer is right.

Change anything by asking

Anything you made can be changed by telling the tutor what you want: "make that quiz harder and add three questions about osmosis", "shorten slide 3", "put these flashcards in French". The change is made straight away, and a card in the chat says what changed, with an Undo button in case you liked it better before.

Cell Biology Make that quiz harder and add 3 questions about osmosis Changed your quiz Version 2 Harder questions, and 3 new ones on osmosis. Now 13 questions. Open Undo Done. The new osmosis questions are 11, 12 and 13.
One message changes the quiz. Undo puts it back.

Inside any item, Edit with AI does the same from a small box with quick choices: Shorter, Simpler, Harder, More detail, Fix wording or a translation. iTutor saves a version before every change, and Version history lists them all, yours, the ones made from the chat and the original, so you can go back to any of them with Restore.

Edits keep the item working: a quiz still has exactly one correct answer per question, and an edited mind map keeps at least three points on every branch. An edit uses a little of your chat allowance and never counts as a new item.

Edit with AI What should change? For example: shorter, add 5 harder questions, simpler words Shorter Simpler Harder More detail Fix wording Translate to… This runs in the background: you can keep studying or leave this page.

Edit with AI inside the item, with every earlier version one tap away.

Diagrams when a picture explains it better

Some ideas are easier to see than to read. When an answer walks through a sequence of steps, a cycle, a hierarchy, a chain of causes and effects, a timeline or the design of an experiment, the tutor now draws a small diagram next to the explanation. You can also just ask: "draw that as a diagram".

The diagrams stay small and clear: a few boxes with short labels, in the language you are studying in, drawn to add something the text does not already say. Tap one to see it full size, or download it. When you are comparing things side by side the tutor uses a table instead, and a greeting or a quick yes or no never gets a diagram.

Cell Biology Explain step by step how a protein made on the rough ER ends up leaving the cell. It follows the cell's delivery route: made and folded in the ER, packed into a vesicle, sorted in the Golgi, then released at the surface. Made by a ribosome on the rough ER Folds inside the ER Carried in a vesicle Sorted in the Golgi Released by exocytosis
A step-by-step answer with the route drawn beside it.

Diagrams work in all twelve of iTutor's languages, including Arabic and Urdu, which read right to left. And they come with you: ask for an explanation as a PDF and the diagram is drawn into the PDF too.

Practice it prepares on its own

The tutor now does some of the work before you ask for it:

  • After a low score. When a quiz or exam comes back under 70%, the tutor makes a short practice quiz on the questions you missed and tells you about it in the chat.
  • Before an exam. Three days before an exam date in your study plan, a revision quiz on the ideas you are still weak on is ready for you.
  • When a quiz has a broken question. If a question in one of your quizzes has no correct answer set, the tutor fixes it and regrades your attempts, with Undo.
  • When you add material. New files in a subject bring an offer to update the items you made before them. Nothing changes until you tap Update.

It does not use your allowance.
After a low score, a practice quiz on the missed questions appears in the chat, marked Made for you.

What the tutor prepares on its own is free: it uses none of your chat allowance and none of your monthly items. It is marked Made for you, with a Remove button if you do not want it. It happens at most three times a week and only while you are studying, and you can switch it off in Settings, under Notifications, with Let iTutor prepare practice for me.
