Skolar is the AI tutor inside Skolight. It answers using your own notes and sources, with citations back to where the information came from, and can create quizzes, exams, flashcards, notes, mind maps, and study plans for you.

Can I use the AI tutor for free?

Yes. The Free plan includes 10 tutor messages a day, with no credit card required. Paid plans raise the daily limit.

Can I send it a photo of a problem?

Yes. You can attach up to five images or documents to a message - a problem sheet, a diagram, or a page of notes - and ask about them.

Is using an AI tutor cheating?

Using it to understand material, check your reasoning, and practice is studying, not cheating. Submitting AI-written work as your own usually breaks academic rules - always follow your institution's policy.

Skolar AI tutor

An AI tutor that knows your course material

Skolar answers questions using the lectures, PDFs, and notes in your library - and cites where each answer came from, so you can check it. Ask it to explain, solve, research, quiz you, or plan your revision.

Answering from your Stats 101 notes

When should I use the median instead of the mean?

When the data is skewed. Here are the house prices from your notes - three mansions drag the mean up:1

Can you show me how recursion works?

It calls itself on a smaller input until it reaches a base case. Here's the factorial from your lecture:1

javascriptRun

function factorial(n) {  if (n <= 1) return 1; // base case  return n * factorial(n - 1);}factorial(5);

Mean vs. median

The mean is pulled toward extreme values. In skewed data like house prices, a few mansions lift the mean while the median stays near a typical home.1

4.3 The electron transport chain

At the end of the chain, O₂ accepts the electrons and joins H⁺ to form water. Without oxygen the chain stalls and ATP output collapses.1

Recursion

A recursive function solves a problem by calling itself on a smaller input. It needs a base case to stop - factorial is the classic example.1

The road to war

Historians group the long-term causes as M.A.I.N.: militarism, alliances, imperialism and nationalism. The spark came in Sarajevo in June 1914.1

Mean vs. median

The mean is pulled toward extreme values. In skewed data like house prices, a few mansions lift the mean while the median stays near a typical home.1

How it works

1
Build your library
Add the slides, PDFs, notes, recordings, and links for your course.
2
Ask anything
Ask a question in your own words, attach a photo of a problem, or pick a mode: explain, solve, research, quiz, or plan.
3
Check the sources
Numbered citations link each part of the answer back to the exact source, so you know what to trust.

What you get

Answers from your material

Skolar searches your own library before it answers, so explanations use your course's terms, examples, and notation.

Citations you can check

Every grounded answer lists its sources with numbered citations, which keeps you in control of what you learn.

Modes for each job

Explain a concept, solve a problem step by step, research a question across your sources, quiz yourself, or plan your week.

Photos and documents

Attach up to five images or documents - a photo of a problem sheet, a graph, a page of handwriting - and ask about them.

Math and graphs

Formulas render properly, and Skolar can plot graphs to show how a function or a dataset behaves.

It builds study material

Ask for a quiz, a mock exam, flashcards, notes, a mind map, or a study plan, and Skolar creates it in your Space.

Why a tutor that cites its sources matters

General-purpose chatbots answer from everything they have ever seen, which is why they can sound confident and still be wrong, or explain a topic differently from how your lecturer does. When you are studying for a specific exam, that difference matters.

Skolar works the other way round: it searches your own material first and shows its citations, so you can see where an answer came from and check it in a click. The aim is not to do the work for you, but to give you a patient explainer who has read everything you were assigned.

Use it when you're stuck rather than as a shortcut: ask it to explain a step you don't follow, then ask it to quiz you on the same idea to make sure it stuck.
