One shared thread per room
Everyone in the room sees the same Assist history, so you can ask together, refer back to earlier answers, and build on past explanations.
Bring a shared AI tutor into every Study Spaces room
Assist lives beside the timer, chat, and video workspace so study groups, circles, and teams can ask questions together, see the same explanations, and keep one running thread per room.
Hints before full answers
Assist is tuned to prioritise strategy, worked examples, and checks for understanding instead of dumping full homework solutions.
Math and notation aware
From algebra and calculus to statistics, Assist formats equations clearly so groups can follow along step by step.
Assist sits alongside timers, chat, and video
In every Study Spaces room, Assist appears as its own tab in the workspace. Start a focus sprint, share your intent, then switch to Assist when you need a hint, explanation, or worked example without leaving the room.
- • Start in the default Zen room to rehearse questions solo.
- • Use Assist in hosted rooms so guests can read along as you discuss.
- • Pair Assist answers with the Focus Log to capture key breakthroughs.
Quick start checklist
- Open "/r/zen" or your latest room from the header.
- Write a short intent so everyone knows what you are working on.
- Switch to Assist and paste the problem or topic you are stuck on.
- Skim the outline, then work through each section during the sprint.
Study groups
Drop a tricky problem into Assist, skim the outline together, and then pause to attempt each step before revealing the full explanation.
Office hours and circles
Let Assist propose examples or alternate explanations while a host focuses on facilitation and accountability in the room.
Solo debugging
Keep a running thread in your default room as you work through problem sets, coding bugs, or practice exams.
Pair Assist with circles, cohorts, and programs
Hosts can treat Assist as a co-facilitator across repeated sessions. Pin example prompts in room descriptions, ask guests to bring questions, and reuse threads week over week as living study notes.
Assist versus generic chatbots
- Room-aware: one shared thread per room so context stays attached to your space.
- Explanation-first: tuned instructions favour reasoning, hints, and structure over answer dumps.
- Lightweight: runs inside the same browser tab as your timer, chat, and video.

Does Assist support math and technical subjects?
Yes. Assist can reason through quantitative problems, explain formulas, and format equations so they are readable on screen.
