What Is WIIS AI Tutor?
WIIS AI Tutor is a learning support tool that does more than answer questions. It also helps you understand what you should study next.
General-purpose AI can usually provide a plausible explanation when you ask about mathematics or economics. However, learning is not just about getting an answer. It is also important to know what you should learn first in order to understand a topic, how one concept is connected to another, and where you should go next.
WIIS AI Tutor is designed to help organize these kinds of learning decisions. In addition to explaining your question, it suggests related topics, keywords, and a learning roadmap, then helps guide you toward relevant WIIS learning materials.
WIIS contains a large and growing collection of materials, mainly in mathematics and economics, ranging from undergraduate to graduate level. AI Tutor serves as a guide that connects your questions with this extensive body of content.
Even when you are not sure what to search for, or which material you should read first, you can start by asking AI Tutor and use its suggestions as an entry point into your studies.
It Not Only Answers Questions, but Also Suggests What to Study Next
You can ask AI Tutor freely about the meaning of technical terms or the basic ideas behind theories and concepts.
For example, if you ask, “What is Nash’s theorem?”, you can review the basic idea behind the theorem. If you ask, “What is the relationship between eigenvalues and diagonalization?”, you can also clarify how multiple concepts are connected.
You can also ask about your learning plan itself, such as, “What mathematics do I need to study economics?”
In university-level mathematics and economics, individual pieces of knowledge do not stand alone. Understanding one theorem may require another definition, and studying a particular economic theory may require prior knowledge of calculus or linear algebra.
For that reason, getting an answer to the question in front of you does not always lead to a deeper understanding.
AI Tutor organizes related topics based on your question and provides a learning roadmap. By checking both the knowledge you need in order to understand the current topic and the subjects that may be useful to study next, you can move beyond one-off problem solving and build a more continuous learning process.
What Makes It Different from General AI Is Its Connection to WIIS Materials
One of the main features of AI Tutor is that your learning does not end with the AI-generated answer itself.
When you ask a general-purpose AI a question, you may receive a detailed explanation, yet still be unsure which material to read next or in what order to study. Even when the answer is clear, your knowledge may remain fragmented if you stop there.
WIIS AI Tutor provides related keywords together with its response. You can use those keywords in Google site search to find relevant materials published on WIIS.
For example, after using AI Tutor to get an overview of a concept, you can move on to WIIS materials that cover its definitions, theorems, proofs, examples, and exercises.
The AI explanation serves as an entry point, after which you can deepen your understanding through systematically organized learning materials.
Because WIIS contains a large collection of mathematics and economics resources, AI Tutor functions not merely as a chat tool, but as a navigation system that helps learners find the topics they currently need among a broad range of materials.
Useful Even When You Do Not Know What to Search For
When studying, you will often encounter situations where you know that something is unclear, but you do not know what search term to use.
If you have not yet learned the relevant technical vocabulary, it may be difficult even to think of the right keyword for a search engine.
For example, you may want to ask, “What is the idea behind approximating a graph with a straight line?”, “What should I know before studying game theory?”, or “What field does the idea used in this proof belong to?”
With AI Tutor, you do not need to know the exact technical terminology in advance. You can describe your question in your own words, and AI Tutor can organize the related concepts and keywords based on what you enter.
In other words, AI Tutor is useful not only when you do not know the answer, but also when you do not yet know what you should be looking for.
See Where Your Current Topic Fits into the Bigger Picture
At the university level, it is important to understand where the topic you are studying fits within the broader structure of a field.
Even if you understand individual definitions and theorems, your knowledge can remain fragmented if you do not see how they relate to one another. By contrast, if you know what comes before a topic and what follows from it, it becomes easier to understand each piece of knowledge as part of a larger system.
The learning roadmap provided by AI Tutor can also be used to clarify these relationships.
By checking the prerequisite knowledge needed for your current topic and considering what to study next, you are less likely to lose sight of your overall direction.
This is especially helpful when studying a new field on your own. In self-study, not knowing the right order in which to learn can be a bigger obstacle than the difficulty of the material itself. AI Tutor can help you think through that sequence.
When to Use AI Tutor
You can use AI Tutor when you encounter an unfamiliar term in a university lecture or textbook and want to quickly understand what it means.
It is also useful when you want to begin studying a new field but are not sure where to start.
If the material you are currently reading feels difficult, you can ask AI Tutor what prerequisite knowledge may be missing.
After finishing one topic, you can also ask what you should study next.
AI Tutor is also well suited to questions about how knowledge from different fields is connected, such as the relationship between mathematics and economics.
In this way, AI Tutor is not only a tool for getting answers. It can also help you decide in which direction to continue your studies.
How to Use AI Tutor
Using AI Tutor is simple. Open the page and enter whatever you want to know or discuss in the input field.
You do not need to use precise technical terminology from the beginning. You can ask in your own words, for example: “I want to know what this term means,” “What should I study first to learn this field?”, or “What prerequisite knowledge do I need to understand this topic?”
For example, try asking:
“What mathematics do I need to study microeconomics? Please show me the recommended learning order.”
Once you submit the question, AI Tutor provides an explanation and organizes the learning path based on your request. It does not simply return an answer; it also suggests related topics and keywords, allowing you to see what you may want to study next.
You can then use the related keywords shown by AI Tutor to search for relevant materials within WIIS using Google site search. After using AI Tutor to understand the overall learning structure and the prerequisite knowledge you may need, you can move on to the corresponding WIIS materials and study the topic in greater depth.
In this way, AI Tutor supports the entire flow from asking a question, to organizing your uncertainty, to discovering related topics, and finally to finding the learning materials you need.
If you are not sure what to ask, a good place to start is: “I want to learn ○○. What should I study first?” AI Tutor can serve as an entry point when you begin learning a new subject.
Do Not Stop with AI—Deepen Your Understanding with Learning Materials
AI is a convenient learning tool because you can ask questions whenever you encounter something you do not understand. However, simply continuing to read AI-generated answers does not necessarily lead to systematic knowledge.
At WIIS, we place importance on combining AI and learning materials as tools with different roles.
With AI Tutor, you first clarify your question and identify the overall idea and related topics. Then, when necessary, you can search WIIS for relevant materials and study the subject more deeply through definitions, theories, proofs, examples, and exercises.
AI can serve as a guide for finding the knowledge you need, while deeper understanding is built by working through structured learning materials. By combining these two approaches, you can benefit from both the convenience of AI and the advantages of systematic study.
Not Sure Where to Start? Ask AI Tutor First
You do not need to know the exact technical terminology before you begin studying.
You can simply ask, “I do not understand this term,” “I want to study this field,” or “What do I need to know to understand this topic?”
AI Tutor can help you organize your question, identify related keywords and a learning roadmap, and then guide you toward relevant WIIS materials.
WIIS AI Tutor is not simply an AI that answers questions. It is an entry point that connects learners’ questions with the large collection of materials available on WIIS and helps them discover what they should study next.
When you are unsure what to learn, which material to read, or how to continue your studies, use AI Tutor as your learning guide.
