The study system

Miles, the AI tutor — what he can and cannot do

Updated 2026-08-21

Miles is the tutor built into every study surface. Ask him anything about your exam's material and he answers grounded in your actual study guide — with citations, so you can jump to the section and read the source yourself.

What Miles does well

  • Explains concepts in plain language, at whatever depth you ask.
  • Explains your misses. After a wrong answer, ask him why — he connects the question to the underlying concept and the guide section to reread.
  • Grades your Teach Back. Explain a topic in your own words and he tells you what you nailed and what you fuzzed (see "Mnemonics, Teach Back and the Vault").
  • Generates mnemonics and flashcards from the guide's content.

What Miles deliberately doesn't do

  • He never computes your numbers. Your readiness score, accuracy, and coverage come from the deterministic scoring system; Miles only narrates them. An AI that invented your readiness would be a liability, not a tutor.
  • He won't stray off your exam. Answers are grounded in your exam's corpus. If something isn't in the material, he won't fabricate it.

Usage limits (fair-use, to keep him fast for everyone):

  • Free trial: 15 messages to try him out.
  • Paid passes: 100 messages per day — far more than a heavy study day uses.
  • Active on 2 devices at a time per account.

A tip: Miles is most useful right after a miss, while the question is fresh — that's when an explanation converts into retention.
