What Is WIIS AI Chat?
WIIS AI Chat is a learning support tool that lets you ask questions about WIIS materials on the spot while you are reading them.
While AI Tutor helps you decide “what should I learn?” and “where should I go next?”, AI Chat is designed specifically to deepen your understanding of the material you are currently reading.
When reading learning materials, you may come across a definition whose meaning is unclear, a proof whose intermediate steps are difficult to follow, a formula transformation you do not understand, or a concept you would like to see explained with a concrete example. With AI Chat, you can resolve these questions as you study, without leaving the page to search elsewhere.
WIIS provides a wide range of materials, mainly in mathematics and economics, from undergraduate to graduate level. When used together with these materials, AI Chat functions not as a general-purpose AI chatbot, but as a “dedicated tutor” that supports you in understanding the content you are currently studying.
Ask Questions About the Material You Are Reading, Right on the Spot
With university-level materials, failing to understand even a single sentence or formula can make it difficult to move forward.
For example, you may not understand the meaning of a symbol used in a definition, or you may wonder, “Why does this equation hold?” in the middle of a proof.
In such cases, you can simply ask AI Chat.
“Please explain this definition intuitively.”
“Why is this transformation valid in this proof?”
“Please explain this theorem with a concrete example.”
“Please explain the meaning of this formula step by step.”
You can ask freely according to the specific point you do not understand.
Because reading and asking questions can be done on the same page, one of the main advantages of AI Chat is that it allows you to continue studying without interrupting your learning flow.
Quote Formulas and Text Directly in Your Questions
In AI Chat, when you drag to select text or formulas in the material, the selected content is automatically quoted in the input field.
In mathematics and economics, retyping the content you want to ask about can be a significant burden. This is especially true when the material contains long formulas or complex notation, where even entering the content accurately can take considerable effort.
With WIIS AI Chat, you can simply select the part of the material you want to ask about and quote it directly, including the formulas.
You can then add questions such as:
“Please explain this part.”
“Why is this condition necessary here?”
“Please show how this expression follows from the previous one.”
This makes it easier to have a precise conversation in which the object of your question is clear, rather than asking a vague question without specifying which part of the material you mean.
How Is It Different from a General-Purpose AI Chat?
You can, of course, ask a general-purpose AI questions about mathematics and economics.
However, you usually have to explain the content of the material yourself, copy formulas, or provide the surrounding context. The more complex the question becomes, the more difficult it can be to give the AI enough background information.
WIIS AI Chat is designed on the assumption that you are asking questions while reading a WIIS material.
This allows you to integrate AI conversation directly into the process of reading the material, rather than treating the material and the AI as two separate tools.
By repeatedly moving through the cycle of “read the material,” “identify a question,” “ask on the spot,” and “check the explanation before returning to the material,” you can continue studying without leaving unclear points unresolved.
The purpose of AI Chat is not to complete your learning through AI alone. The learning material remains at the center, while AI is used to support your understanding of it.
Ask for Definitions and Concepts to Be Explained from a Different Angle
Sometimes, reading an explanation in the material once is not enough to fully understand it.
This is particularly common with abstract mathematical definitions and economic theories, where a single explanation may not be enough to develop an intuitive understanding.
With AI Chat, you can ask for the same idea to be explained in a different way.
“Please explain this more intuitively.”
“Please explain this using only high-school-level mathematics.”
“Please explain this with a concrete example.”
“Please explain this in a way that helps me visualize it.”
By asking questions like these, you can examine the same content from a different angle than the one used in the material.
Using AI for supplementary explanations while keeping the rigorous explanation in the material as the foundation can help deepen both your formal and intuitive understanding.
Use It When You Get Stuck in the Middle of a Proof
Proofs are one of the areas where learners are especially likely to get stuck in mathematics.
You may understand the conclusion of a proof as a whole, but still be unsure why a particular line in the middle is valid. Sometimes, not understanding a single step can make the entire proof difficult to follow.
With AI Chat, you can select only the part you do not understand and ask about it directly.
For example:
“What is being used in this transformation?”
“Why does this inequality hold?”
“Please explain this step without skipping any intermediate steps.”
“Why is this assumption used here?”
Instead of asking AI to explain the entire proof from the beginning, you can focus only on the part you do not understand. This makes it possible to study in a way that matches your own level of understanding.
Use It for Exercises as Well
AI Chat can also be used when working on exercises.
If you do not understand what a problem is asking, you can ask for clarification of the problem statement. You can also avoid asking for the full answer and instead use prompts such as:
“Please give me only a hint for the first step.”
“Which theorem should I use?”
“Please check whether my approach is on the right track.”
When working on exercises, the time you spend thinking for yourself is important. Rather than using AI Chat simply to obtain answers, you can use it to get only the hints you need while preserving the process of solving the problem yourself.
AI Chat Is Your “Dedicated Tutor” for Reading WIIS Materials
WIIS AI Chat is not an AI that replaces the learning materials.
The WIIS materials themselves remain at the center of the learning process.
You read the material, ask AI Chat when you encounter something you do not understand, check the explanation, and then return to the material. By repeating this process, you are less likely to leave questions unresolved than when studying alone.
In particular, when studying university-level mathematics or economics independently, one major obstacle is not having anyone to ask immediately when you encounter a difficult point.
AI Chat can serve as a “dedicated tutor” for the material, available whenever you need to ask a question.
Use AI Tutor and AI Chat for Different Purposes
At WIIS, AI Tutor and AI Chat have different roles.
AI Tutor is designed to help you think about the overall direction of your studies, such as “What should I learn?” and “In what order should I study?”
AI Chat, on the other hand, is designed to resolve specific questions such as, “I do not understand this part of the material I am reading now.”
When starting a new field, you can use AI Tutor to understand the learning path, then use AI Chat to resolve questions once you begin reading the actual materials. Using the two tools in this way allows you to make more effective use of WIIS materials.
If AI Tutor is the “guide” for your learning journey, AI Chat is the “dedicated tutor” that stays by your side while you work through the material.
Save What You Learn from AI Chat to WIIS Learning Notes
Even if AI Chat helps you resolve a question, you may forget the explanation over time if you only understand it in the moment. When you return to the same topic later, you may also want to review where you previously got stuck or which explanation helped you understand the concept.
At WIIS, you can use WIIS Learning Notes to preserve your conversations with AI as part of your learning record, rather than letting them end as one-time interactions.
Your conversations with AI are saved automatically, allowing you to review previous exchanges later or resume your studies from where you left off. For example, you can return several days later to a question you asked while reading a particular WIIS material.
You can also save especially important AI responses as notes. You can add your own comments to saved notes and organize them with labels such as “Important” or “Review Later.”
In this way, explanations obtained through AI Chat can be accumulated as part of your own learning record rather than consumed as temporary answers.
Connect Learning Materials, AI Chat, and Learning Notes
At WIIS, learning materials, AI Chat, and Learning Notes can be combined as part of a single learning process rather than used as separate features.
First, read the material. If you encounter a part you do not understand, ask AI Chat. Once the explanation has deepened your understanding, save any important or review-worthy responses to Learning Notes. You can also add your own notes and return to them later.
For example, if you are reading a mathematics material and do not understand what a “recursive definition” means, you can ask AI Chat and save the response to Learning Notes with a personal note such as “Meaning of recursive definition.”
If you encounter the same concept again on another day, you can search your saved notes and review the earlier explanation. You can also return to the original conversation and continue asking questions from where you left off.
In this way, AI Chat helps you resolve questions on the spot, while WIIS Learning Notes allows you to accumulate the understanding and insights gained through that process.
By repeating the cycle of reading materials, asking AI questions, saving important content, and reviewing it later, you can turn AI conversations into your own continuing learning history rather than letting them remain one-time interactions.
Your Learning History Helps You Move Forward
When studying independently, it is easy to forget where you previously got stuck or what questions you had.
However, if the learning process itself is recorded, you can later review how your understanding has developed over time.
In WIIS Learning Notes, you can search saved notes by title, AI response, your own memo, related material, and other information. This makes it easier to find and revisit topics you studied in the past.
Because both your questions in AI Chat and the related WIIS materials are preserved together, you are not merely saving a chat history. You are preserving the learning context itself: which material you were reading, where you had a question, and what you came to understand.
If AI Chat is the “dedicated tutor” that helps you understand something in the moment, WIIS Learning Notes is your “personal learning record” that accumulates what you have learned with that tutor.
Do Not Stay Stuck—Ask on the Spot
When you encounter a part of the material you do not understand, you do not need to understand everything immediately.
You can first ask AI Chat, request another explanation, check an intermediate calculation, or ask what prerequisite knowledge you may be missing.
If there is a particular sentence or formula you want to ask about, simply drag to select it. The selected content will be quoted in the input field, allowing you to add a specific question directly.
WIIS AI Chat is a learning support tool that helps you resolve questions while reading and build your understanding step by step.
