The AI Tutor is a chat assistant inside the eStudyUniverse app. It explains questions, methods and mistakes, works from the Cameroon GCE syllabus by default, and answers in English or French. You can type a question, send a photo of it, or ask about a question straight from a past paper or a reviewed answer.

Three ways to ask
- Type it. Open the tutor from Home and write your question. If you are not sure where to start, the empty chat offers starter prompts, for example to plan a revision schedule or explain a concept.
- Send a photo. Photograph the question or your own working, from the camera or the gallery. The photo stays attached for the next few messages, so follow-up questions still refer to it.
- Ask from where you are. Inside a past paper, a lesson or a reviewed question, an Ask AI button opens the tutor with that context already loaded: the subject, level and year of the paper, or the question itself.
AI Lens on past papers
When a past paper is open, the AI Lens button lets you draw a box around one part of the page, such as a single question or a diagram. That part is sent to the tutor together with the paper’s subject, year and type, so you do not have to retype anything.
The app blocks screenshots while a paper is open, so AI Lens is the way to bring a paper question into the tutor.
Asking about a wrong answer
After a practice set, each question in the review has an Ask AI Tutor button. The tutor receives the question, the answer you gave and the correct answer, so it can explain where your reasoning went wrong rather than just solving the question again. See practice and answer review.
Chat history
A side panel lists your past conversations, most recent first. You can search them by title, rename them and delete them. Conversations you have opened are kept on the phone, so you can reread an explanation without a connection.
When the connection drops
A message written offline, with its photo, is saved on the phone and marked as waiting. It is sent automatically when the connection returns, in the order you wrote it, and a retry never produces a duplicate answer. The answer itself needs a connection: offline, you see your question waiting, not a reply.
Limits worth knowing
- It can be wrong. The tutor is a general AI model. It can make confident mistakes, so check important results against a marking scheme or a teacher.
- It does not mark written work. It can read a photo of your answer and explain it, but it does not award marks or grades.
- Short memory. It remembers only the last 12 messages of one conversation, and nothing across conversations.
- Handwriting and diagrams can be misread, especially in poor light.
- Daily use is limited. The chat shows how much you have left today.
- It will not help you cheat. Requests to do live exams or fake coursework are refused, with a study alternative offered instead.
- Official facts come from official sources. Exam dates, fees and results come from the boards and ministries, not from the tutor.
Using it well
The tutor helps most after you have tried a question yourself, with your working in front of you. Our guide on how to use an AI tutor for revision explains how to ask so that it finds your actual mistake.
