How AI makes studying better

Without AI, a student gets one fixed written explanation. With AI, they can ask for a different explanation, a memory trick, or why their own pick was wrong.

How the AI is built

AI was designed into the product, not bolted on: every study screen hands the AI the right context, and a secure server layer keeps it fast, reliable and safe.

Secure by design: AI requests run on the server, never in the browser, so keys stay private. Only signed-in students can use AI.
Multi-provider failover: the app can use several AI providers. If one is slow or down, the next one answers, so students rarely hit a dead end.
Live control, no redeploys: an admin console changes which AI models are used and tests them before switching, without shipping new code.
Context-aware prompts: each screen sends the question, the answer choices and the correct answer. On review screens it also sends the student's own pick, so the AI explains that exact mistake.
Guardrails: one shared tutor prompt keeps answers on exam topics, encouraging and short, with memory tricks and a no-medical-advice rule.
Clean answers: hidden model "thinking" text is removed before students see a reply.
Resilient and monitored: automatic retries in the app, plus usage and error tracking for the admin.

Built with: a static HTML/JavaScript web app (PWA), Firebase sign-in and database, and a serverless AI layer.

Top of the admin AI Control Center: a Live Engine Routing Waterfall panel with Add Engine, Reset Order and Deploy Config buttons, a note that engines can be reordered and ping-tested before deploying, and a custom ping prompt asking about the SITS muscles. — Admin AI Control Center: reorder and test AI engines, then deploy the change live.

Good to know

A study partner, not the final word. Like any AI, it can occasionally make mistakes, so pair it with your textbook and each question's written explanation.
Built for exam prep. It sticks to MBLEx study topics and doesn't give medical advice.
Keep it about the material. Your question is sent to trusted AI services to create the answer, so leave out personal or health details.
Fresh answers every time. Ask again to get a new angle or a different memory trick.
Needs a connection. If an answer doesn't come through, just tap again.
Each chat message stands on its own. Mention the topic in every question for the best answer.
Practice scores are estimates. Mock exam scores and pass estimates help you track progress; they aren't official results.

FAQ

Do I need an account to use the AI?

Yes. Sign in with Google or with an email and password. The AI won't answer if you aren't signed in.

Which AI model answers me?

It can vary. The app works with more than one AI provider, so it keeps answering even if one is slow or down.

Does AI replace the written explanation?

No. Practice questions and cards have their own written explanations. The AI adds a second way to understand the concept, in plain words with a memory trick.

Does the chat remember my earlier messages?

No. Each message is sent on its own. If you want to follow up, repeat the topic in your new question, for example “Give me another mnemonic for the SITS muscles.”

Can I ask the AI anything?

The chat is set up as an MBLEx tutor. It's best for massage therapy exam topics like anatomy, kinesiology, pathology and ethics. It is told not to give medical advice.

What happens to what I type?

Your message is sent through the app's server to an outside AI model provider to make the answer. Keep personal and health information out of your questions. See the Privacy Policy.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It runs in your phone's browser, and you can add it to your home screen. The AI needs an internet connection.

Is the mock exam score official?

No. It is a practice estimate from the app's own formula, not an official exam score.

What's in the app besides AI?

Custom practice quizzes, a timed mock exam, 7 flashcard study hubs, Rapid Quizzes, two study games, a Daily Challenge, progress tracking and written study guides.
