Launch (Tutoring Session)
The live tutor classroom — a full-screen tutoring session with a top AI-Unit strip and a top-up shortcut.
What this screen shows
The Launch tab opens the live tutor classroom — a full-screen tutoring session where students type a question or paste a problem and the tutor replies with a step-by-step worked solution, and students ask follow-ups to go deeper. Across the top sits an AI Units strip showing the live balance and a Top up shortcut. If you are on the free trial, the model picker is limited to DeepSeek and the session honours the trial credit and session cap; a purchase removes both. Your conversation and any media persist in the per-login cloud library, so signing in on another device restores the same history (switching accounts on a shared device clears the previous user’s local copy first). The page also handles the entry states gracefully: a brief "Preparing classroom…" while it boots, a pricing screen if the tutor isn’t purchased and the trial is used up, a disabled-feature notice, and a retryable error screen.
Common workflow
- Type a question or paste the problem you’re stuck on.
- Read the step-by-step explanation.
- Ask a follow-up ("why does this step work?") to go deeper.
- Keep an eye on the AU strip; Top up if it turns amber or rose.
Controls on this screen
- AI Units strip
- Live AU balance across the top of the session; turns amber when low and rose when out.
- Shortcut to checkout to add more AU without leaving the session.
- Tutor classroom
- The full-screen tutoring surface where students ask, read worked steps and follow up.
- Trial (DeepSeek)
- On the free trial the model picker is locked to DeepSeek and usage is capped by a trial credit; purchase unlocks every model.
- Cloud library
- Your chats and media sync to your account, so history follows you across devices; a device that switches accounts is wiped first.
- View pricing
- Shown if the tutor isn’t purchased and the trial is used up — opens the licence + seats pricing.
- Back to overview
- Return to the AI Tutor Overview from a gate or error screen.
- Re-attempt starting the session if it failed to boot.
- Encourage students to ask why a step works rather than just what the answer is — the tutor is built for understanding, not answer-copying.
