The **AI Tutor** is a conversational activity that guides learners through a topic. Learners ask
questions and receive AI-generated responses, with each interaction metered against your
:ref:`credits <billing>`.

Authoring an AI Tutor
---------------------

#. Add an AI Tutor activity to a course via :ref:`Deep Linking <deep_linking>`.
#. Configure the tutor's framing — for example its purpose, tone, and any guidance that should
   shape its responses.
#. Save and publish. See :ref:`runtime_authoring`.

The learner experience
----------------------

#. A learner launches the activity from the course.
#. They see a working tutor page where they can submit a message.
#. The tutor returns a response, and the exchange continues as a conversation.

Each interaction is **logged**, and AI usage is recorded against your workspace credits so you
can review consumption later. See :ref:`usage_reports`.

Tips
----

* Keep the tutor's framing focused on the learning objective so responses stay on-topic.
* If you want answers grounded in your own materials rather than general knowledge, consider the
  :ref:`AI Expert Chat <ai_expert_chat>`, which draws on a knowledge base.
