AI tutor questions

What students ask first.

What can I circle and ask about?

You can ask about a passage, formula, handwriting, or other content on the document.

Does the AI tutor have the page context?

BBNotes can answer questions about the page, your handwriting, or the wider document, so you do not need to paste the source into another app.

Where does the answer go?

The question remains anchored to the place where you asked it, so the explanation stays connected to its source.

Can I get a hint when I am stuck?

Choose guided mode for questions and hints that help you work through your reasoning and continue your own solution.

Does the AI tutor work offline?

No. AI tutoring requires an internet connection, explicit AI Data Sharing permission, and available AI usage. Non-AI note editing can still be used without sending a tutor request.

Can the AI tutor make mistakes?

AI can make mistakes. For important answers, compare the explanation with your course material.

How much does BBNotes cost?
