How it works

A general chatbot answers from the whole internet. Naro answers from one course: what its instructor uploads. Every answer names the lecture it came from, and when something is not in the course, Naro says so.

An instructor uploads the course.

Slides, notes, recordings, readings.

Naro takes it in.

That course is all Naro knows.

A student asks.

Any question, inside the course.

The answer comes back, cited.

It names the lecture it came from.

Your course stays private. What you upload serves your class and nothing else, and student conversations stay inside the course.

I teach engineering courses myself, so I see firsthand what generative AI does well for students and where it fails them. Surveys and student feedback keep pointing at the same frustrations. General chatbots answer from the whole internet, drift from what a course teaches, and never show where an answer came from. My interest is in AI tools for education that instructors shape and stand behind, and AskNaro grew out of that work. It stays inside one course, cites the lecture behind every answer, and says so when a question falls outside the material. I wrote recently in Nature about how universities can earn students' trust in AI; more of my research is on Google Scholar.
