7 AI Study Tools That Read Your Textbook For You
Generic ChatGPT gives you generic answers. iTutor's new study tools read your uploaded materials and produce study artifacts that ground every claim back to a specific page in your textbook. Study guides, worked solutions, chapter summaries, glossaries, concept explainers, reading guides, and full exam prep sessions — all from one upload.
Why these are different
Three things every one of the 7 tools shares.
Grounded in YOUR materials
Every claim traces back to a specific chunk of your uploaded textbook — not a generic web answer.
4 export formats
PDF (with Arabic glyph support), Word DOCX, Markdown, and CSV where applicable.
Full RTL Arabic support
Generate study tools in English, Arabic, Spanish, French, or German. Auto-detects content language.
AI Study Guide
Turn any uploaded textbook into a comprehensive, exam-ready review document — key concepts, formulas, worked examples, common mistakes, and exam-likely questions, all condensed into one printable pack.
Auto-generates from your uploaded materials, not generic web content
Choose depth: Brief, Standard, or Comprehensive
Optionally focus on specific chapters or topics
Export to PDF, Word, or Markdown
Best for: University students cramming for finals, IB/AP students, anyone who hates writing study guides by hand.
AI Worked Solutions
Extracts every problem from your STEM textbook (or generates new ones in the same style) and produces fully step-by-step solutions — narrative + math at every step, final answer, and a common pitfall callout.
Configurable difficulty filter (intro / medium / hard)
Two PDF exports: full version with answers, student version without
Each problem includes a "common pitfall" warning
CSV export for LMS gradebook import
Best for: STEM courses where the textbook only includes selected solutions in the back. Math, physics, engineering, chemistry, economics.
AI Chapter Summary Pack
Auto-detects chapter structure from your uploaded materials and produces uniform summary cards — main ideas, key terms, critical quotes with page references, comprehension questions, and an "if you only remember one thing" box.
Auto-detects chapters; you can cap at 5–25
Grid view + modal detail view for each chapter
Critical quotes preserved with page numbers
Print-friendly PDF, one chapter per page
Best for: The "I just uploaded a 500-page PDF — now what?" moment. Perfect for first-pass reading of a new textbook.
AI Glossary
Builds a searchable A-Z reference of every technical term in your uploaded corpus. Each entry has a contextual definition, the first-mention page, an example from the actual material, related terms, and Arabic/English translations.
Configurable max terms (10–80)
A-Z index rail with smooth-scroll
Live search across terms and definitions
CSV export with UTF-8 BOM (Excel-compatible Arabic)
Best for: Jargon-heavy courses: medicine, law, engineering, theology, computer science. ESL students especially.
AI Concept Explainer
Pick any concept from your course materials and get a 6-tab deep dive: 5-minute summary, 15-minute deep explanation, analogy, worked example, common misconceptions, and connections to other concepts in the same course.
Configurable depth: Quick / Standard / Deep
Misconceptions tab with wrong/correct/why blocks
Connections to related concepts in your materials
Grounded in your textbook, not generic answers
Best for: The "wait, I really don't get this" moment. Hit it in class, generate the deep dive on your phone, and walk away understanding.
AI Reading Guide
For one specific uploaded material: pre-reading questions, key terms to watch for, section-by-section guided questions with checkboxes, margin prompts, and post-reading synthesis prompts. Designed to be filled out while reading.
Pick one specific material (PDF) to focus on
Two-column section walker with persistent checkboxes
Margin prompts in tinted callouts
Post-reading synthesis prompts + connection to course
Best for: Humanities, philosophy, theory, literature, seminars. Anywhere you have to read dense texts closely and the prof expects you to actually engage with them.
AI Exam Prep Session
Reconstructs what a TA-led review session would look like for your materials. Topic discovery + weighting, parallel topic expansion, time normalization. Each topic has key points, common pitfalls, practice questions with worked answers, and an "if you only remember one thing" box. Built-in session timer.
Configurable session length (30 / 60 / 90 / 120 minutes)
Topic checklist persists across reloads
Built-in start/pause timer with progress bar
Printable cheat sheet (one-page condensed view)
Best for: The night before finals. Hit play, walk through each topic at the pace the timer sets, check them off as you go, print the cheat sheet for the morning.
How these differ from generic ChatGPT
ChatGPT is a general-purpose chatbot with no memory of your textbook. iTutor's study tools are material-first — they break gracefully when no materials are uploaded, and their value scales with how much they chew through your specific course corpus.
