The real-time chatbot in AI-School can now use tools while you are talking to it. This means you can also ask current questions and get answers based on an internet search.

Some tools are used automatically when relevant. These include internet search, consulting the user guide, and—only within your own conversations—searching your chat history. This allows the chatbot to better respond to your question without you having to search first.

In addition, there are tools you can use as needed, such as checking the weather, searching Wikipedia, and calculating or analyzing information with Wolfram Alpha. In AI-School, you can also search for SLO learning objectives and suitable teaching materials in Wikiwijs.

This is useful, for example, when you want to check up-to-date information while preparing a lesson, are looking for a learning objective, or need quick inspiration for open educational materials. The tools available depend on your environment’s settings.

Start a real-time conversation and ask your question as you normally would. AI-School uses available tools when they help provide an up-to-date and relevant answer.
