Problem
Universities face challenges integrating generative AI into teaching because public models can provide inaccurate or off‑topic answers, and institutions must protect student data and retain ownership of course content. Without a controlled knowledge base, educators cannot guarantee the factual correctness or pedagogical relevance of AI‑generated assistance.
Solution
OneTutor delivers a secure, AI‑driven tutoring platform that operates exclusively on material uploaded by instructors. Using Retrieval‑Augmented Generation, the system extracts information from lecture slides, readings, and recordings to answer student queries and generate quizzes that are directly tied to the course syllabus. All interactions are pseudonymized and encrypted, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations while keeping intellectual property under the university’s control. A built‑in analytics dashboard provides educators with aggregated usage metrics, quiz performance, and identified learning gaps, enabling data‑informed course improvements. The platform integrates with existing university SSO and can be deployed within the institution’s infrastructure, offering a responsible AI solution without exposing sensitive data to external services.
Target Audience
The primary customers are higher‑education institutions—universities and colleges—and their teaching staff who need AI‑enhanced tutoring, quiz generation, and learning analytics while maintaining control over content and data.
