How should I use SmartAssist?
SmartAssist should be used as a study companion, not a substitute for faculty or instructor guidance. It’s designed to enhance learning and reinforce content already in TrueLearn — not to teach new material or provide medical advice.
Where does SmartAssist pull its information from?
SmartAssist uses all of TrueLearn’s content (questions, explanations, rationales, and related learning materials) to generate its responses. The ChatBot does not pull information from any external sources.
Can SmartAssist explain images, diagrams, or Picmonics?
Currently, it does not interpret images, diagrams, or Picmonics directly. The AI will assume what an image in the explanation could be and provide context of what you might see. Users should ask text-based questions related to the written content or explanations provided.
Is my conversation history with SmartAssist saved?
No, conversations are specific to the user session. Once you leave the Test or Test Review, that session’s history will no longer be accessible. If you would like to save the content for future use, be sure to add it to a Note or Flashcards.
Can I add details from SmartAssist into my Flashcards?
Currently, the only way to add details generated within SmartAssist is to copy and paste into your flashcards. For more details on creating flashcards, click here.
