Course TAv2.0.0

Students ask course-related questions in a Discord channel, and the TA responds instantly using RAG over uploaded lecture slides, PDFs, and notes. The TA cites sources and guides understanding without giving away homework answers.

A professor places course materials (PDFs, PPTs, markdown files) into the workspace memory directory and runs a command to index them. The TA then uses these materials to answer student questions accurately.

The TA automatically detects the language of the student's question (e.g., Chinese or English) and responds in kind. This caters to diverse student populations in global or bilingual courses.

The TA refuses to answer off-topic questions, provide homework solutions, or discuss grades. For inappropriate queries, it redirects students to the professor or office hours, maintaining academic integrity.

When a student asks 'What's on the exam?', the TA offers to summarize key concepts from lectures instead of revealing exam content. It provides structured, reference-backed reviews to aid study.

Educational institutions or professors pay a recurring fee per course to activate the TA for a semester. Revenue comes from annual licensing or per-course fees, scalable across departments.

License the skill to online learning platforms (e.g., Coursera, edX) that integrate it into their course offerings. Revenue is generated through licensing deals or revenue sharing per enrolled student.

Offer a basic version for free (e.g., limited to one course or basic RAG) and charge for advanced features like multilingual support, custom branding, or analytics on student questions. Revenue comes from premium upgrades.
