Getting started
What Teach Anything does for instructors, how to get an account, and the four steps to a working assistant.
This guide walks you through building an AI teaching assistant for your course, from your first login to sharing it with students. No technical background needed.
The big picture
Think of your assistant as a tutor who has read all of your course materials and nothing else. When a student asks a question, it looks through your files, finds the relevant parts, and writes an answer that points back to the exact source. It won’t make things up from the open internet, and it will tell students where each answer came from.
Request an instructor account
Accounts are approved by an administrator to keep the platform limited to real instructors. Sign up with your school email and wait for approval.
Create a chatbot
Give your assistant a name and a short description of how it should behave. See Create a chatbot.
Add your materials
Upload files or point it at a website. The assistant reads and remembers everything.
Share it with students
Send a link or embed the assistant directly in your course site.
Getting an account
Instructor sign-ups go through a short approval step so only real instructors get access.
Sign up
Create an account with your name, email address, and a password. Some deployments only let certain email domains (like your school’s) register, so use your institutional email if you have one.
Wait for approval
An administrator reviews new accounts. You’ll be able to log in once your account is approved. This is usually quick, but it isn’t instant.
What you’ll manage
Once you’re in, everything revolves around your dashboard:
Your chatbots
Each course (or topic) can have its own assistant. Create as many as you need.
Materials
The files and web pages each assistant has learned from.
Conversations
A searchable record of what students asked and how the assistant answered.
Account settings
Your profile, privacy controls, and account deletion.
Next step
Create your first chatbot
Name your assistant, set its personality, and get ready to add materials.
