Build your first AI tutor in 10 minutes

What you'll build

By the end you'll have a working AI tutor: a persona, a study plan a learner can go through, and a knowledge base grounded in your own material when you give it any. It all starts from one sentence.

Completion tells you someone reached the end of your material. It says nothing about whether they can do anything with it. A tutor checks the second thing. It asks questions, makes the learner practice, and reacts to what they got wrong. For you, that's the difference between a video course most students never finish and something that keeps teaching your students when you're not in the room.

Step 1: Start from a prompt, not a blank page

Open Alltutors.ai and describe what you want to teach and who it's for, in plain language. "A tutor that helps my IELTS students keep practicing speaking between our weekly sessions" or "a tutor that gets new sales reps ready for discovery calls" both work. You don't need a formal title or a syllabus outline yet. The prompt only has to name the subject and the audience. Everything else gets refined in the next step.

Tip: name the audience, not just the subject. "Teaches music theory" is vague. "Teaches music theory to adult piano students who can play by ear but can't read a score" gives the tutor a starting point for tone and pacing.

Step 2: Talk it through instead of filling out a form

Instead of filling out a syllabus form, Alltutors.ai interviews you: a short back-and-forth about what you know, how you'd explain it, and what a learner needs to walk away with. You can type your answers or say them out loud. You know the subject. You're probably not a curriculum designer, and you don't need to be. The interview turns what you know into a first-draft structure, so you never start from a blank syllabus. You still shape it afterward, what to sequence, what to cut, where to add practice. The interview just gets you past the blank page.

If you already have material, this is the moment to hand it over: lesson notes, slides, the PDFs and handouts from a course you already teach. Upload files, paste a link, or connect Google Drive. The tutor then grounds its answers in what you give it instead of answering purely from general knowledge. Our guide on grounding your tutor goes deeper on exactly what happens to a file after you upload it.

Step 3: Review the draft tutor and study plan together

Alltutors.ai drafts two things at once: the tutor's persona (name, voice, teaching manner) and a study plan (phases, units, lessons) built from your interview. Both come back as an editable draft. If the tone feels off, say "make it warmer" or "less formal." If a unit is misplaced, say "move the pricing unit before objection handling." You edit it by chatting, same as you built it.

Step 4: Preview it like a learner would

Before publishing, open the preview and go through your own tutor the way a learner will: read a lesson, answer a quiz question, hear the voice you picked. This is the fastest way to catch a tone mismatch or a unit that doesn't flow before anyone else sees it. If something feels off, go back to chat and adjust it. The preview and the chat stay in sync.

Step 5: Publish and share the link

When it's ready, publish. Choose whether the tutor is private, link-shareable, or public, and you'll get a share link immediately. There's no separate deployment step. Our guide on publishing and sharing covers access levels and what a learner sees first in more detail.

What's next

Two guides go deeper on the pieces you just touched quickly. Read grounding your tutor in your own materials if you want your tutor to answer strictly from your content, and designing a study plan learners actually follow if you want to rework the plan structure itself rather than nudge it in chat. If you're thinking about this as a team rollout rather than a single tutor, our enterprise page covers workspaces, roles, and reporting.
