A lasting programme
Concepts, prerequisites and learning goals stay in your Tutor installation. Resume a course instead of describing your whole plan again.

What the server does
The AI teaches.
Tutor keeps the thread.
The engine uses the observations recorded during your sessions to maintain a learning path and recommend what to practise, review or assess next.
A reason for the next activity
Knowledge tracing, spaced review and assessment evidence guide the next step. Estimates remain distinct from demonstrated skills.
Context across sessions
Versioned, encrypted narrative memory carries useful summaries and learner context. Decision records make recommendations inspectable.
Three ways to run it
