What it does
DeepTutor is a personal AI tutoring system. You add learning materials, such as documents, e-books or videos, and it helps you study them through chat, guided reading with page-by-page citations, quizzes and practice questions.
Its updates describe features such as learning paths, generated study "books", courses, daily practice and a learning journal. It keeps a memory of your progress so its help can be more personal over time, and works with many AI model providers.
It comes from a university research group, which has published a research paper about it.
