Building Your AI Study Copilot With xChat: A Student's Guide

Introduction​

Welcome to the tutorial guide on using xChat to create your AI study copilot! In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to build an AI-powered study assistant chatbot using your classroom files. xChat empowers your learning journey, providing valuable assistance and support throughout your studies.

Step 1: Gathering Your Classroom Files​

First, gather all the relevant files from your classroom, including lecture notes, textbooks, assignments, and study materials. Ensure that you have digital copies of these files accessible on your computer or cloud storage. The files must be in PDF format. You can upload your files individually or import your files by connecting your Google Drive.

Step 2: Setting Up Your xChat Account​

If you haven't already, sign up for an xChat account. You can do this by following this link: xChat. Once you've created your account, log in to access the xChat platform.

Step 3: Creating Your Study Copilot Project​

In the xChat dashboard, click the “New space” button on the right side panel. Give your space a descriptive name, such as the subject title of your files. For example: Stat110.

Step 4: Uploading Your Classroom Files​

Next, upload the classroom files you gathered earlier into your xChat space. Click “Upload files” to upload your PDF files, or click “Add links” if your file comes from a website. You can also connect your Google Drive by clicking the “Google Drive” logo under “Import from other software.” These files will serve as the basis for training your AI study copilot.

Step 5: Interacting with Your AI Study Copilot​

Once your files are uploaded, it will take 5 minutes or less for xChat to analyze the content of your files and create a customized AI model tailored to your study needs. If you need to add more files, you can click “Add Data” on the left side panel of the xChat platform.
