What Robin does

Robin is the AI study assistant in Wingit, and it already knows your Canvas courses. It reads the pages, files, discussions, lecture transcripts, and your grades, and keeps track of which course you are in and what is due, so a few words get you a plan, notes, a quiz, or a draft. Answers from your courses list their sources.

Plan: what to do first

Robin reads your assignments and what you have already turned in, then picks a short set to start with tonight and says what can wait and why. Tell it you have 45 minutes and it plans 45 minutes.

Try asking
  • “What should I work on tonight?”
  • “Plan my week around what is due”
  • “How long will my next assignment take?”

It won’t guess how much time you have. Without a time budget, or something to go on, it leaves the minutes out.

“What should I work on tonight?”
Robin

Do the M3 knowledge check first: it is 5 points and already a day late.1 Then the media journal reply, due tonight.2 A7 is due tomorrow and is the big one, so start its BST part next.3

The Week 6 quiz is not due until Friday morning, so it can wait.

Summarize: lectures and readings, shortened

Robin reads the lecture, page, or reading itself before it writes a word, and says how much it read when one runs long. Then it leads with the three to five ideas that matter, in the order they were taught and in your instructor’s terms. Lecture points carry their timestamps, and anything flagged for the exam gets a mention.

Try asking
  • “Summarize my most recent lecture”
  • “Give me the short version of a syllabus”
  • “What did the professor say about the final?”

It won’t summarize from search snippets. If a long document was cut off, it says how much it read.

“Summarize my most recent lecture”

Week 5 was about telling igneous rocks apart.1

  • Grain size shows how fast a rock cooled: coarse is slow, at depth (12:40).
  • Fine grains or glass mean fast cooling at the surface (13:02).
  • Color shows composition: light is felsic, dark is mafic (14:12).

This week’s lab sorts six samples by exactly this (13:30).

Explain: in the words your course uses

Robin searches your course first, so the explanation uses your instructor’s notation, examples, and names. You get one plain sentence, then a worked example, then where the idea shows up in your course so you can read further.

Try asking
  • “Explain this week’s topic like I have never seen it”
  • “Why does this reading matter for the exam?”
  • “Walk me through an assignment’s rubric”

It won’t pretend your course covered something it didn’t. If it hasn’t come up yet, it says so and explains from general knowledge.

“Explain AVL rotations like I have never seen them”

An AVL tree keeps itself balanced. When one side of a node gets two levels taller than the other, a rotation lifts the middle node of the three up a level.1

Your walkthrough shows all four cases at 9:40: left-left and right-right take one rotation, left-right and right-left take two.2

Quiz: questions from your own material

Robin reads the material first and writes five to eight questions you can answer from what was taught: some recall, some understanding, one that applies it. Each says which lecture or reading it comes from, and the answers stay hidden until you open them. Flashcards work the same way.

Try asking
  • “Quiz me on this week’s material”
  • “Make flashcards from my latest lecture”
  • “Give me a practice midterm”

It won’t ask about something your course never taught.

“Quiz me on this week’s material”
Robincan seeEAS-E 103
  • A rock has large, visible crystals. Did it cool fast or slow, and where?1
  • Granite is light colored. Is it felsic or mafic?1
  • Your lab sample is black and glassy. What is it, and how did it form?1

Find: where something was said

Robin searches with your words, then with the words your instructor might have used, and opens the document to check before it answers. You get the exact place, with the line quoted: the page, the file, the discussion and who wrote it, or the lecture and the minute.

Try asking
  • “Where was the late policy mentioned?”
  • “Which discussion asked about citations?”
  • “Find the lab safety form”

It won’t guess. If it isn’t in your course material, it says so and tells you where in Canvas it would usually be.

“Where was the late policy mentioned?”
Robin

In the EAS-E 103 syllabus, under Late work: “Late work loses 10% a day, for up to three days.”1 Your instructor repeated it in the first week’s lecture, at 14:05.2

Write: outlines and drafts

Robin drafts outlines, notes, study guides and documents from your professor’s own files, lectures and discussions, with the sources cited inside. Ask for a change and it edits the document in place, with every version kept.

Try asking
  • “Outline my next assignment from its rubric”
  • “Check my draft against its rubric”
  • “Start a study guide for one of my courses”

It won’t write from memory when your course has the source. It reads the instructions, the rubric, and the readings first, and says when it adds something general.

Grades: where you stand

Robin reads your grades from Canvas and the weighting from the syllabus, and says which it used. Ask what the final needs and you get the arithmetic in a few lines, with the assumptions stated: the weights, no curve, no drops. It also points at the assignment that moved your grade most.

Try asking
  • “How am I doing in my courses?”
  • “What do I need on the final for an A?”
  • “Which assignment hurt my grade most?”

It won’t estimate a grade your instructor hides, or guess at curves, extra credit, or work that isn’t graded yet.

“How am I doing in my courses?”
Robin
  • Media Ownership and Culture: 93.5%, an A
  • Game Programming: 91.0%, an A-
  • Data Structures: 88.1%, a B+
  • Earth Science: 77.8%, a C+. The late M3 knowledge check is the place to start.

These are the totals Canvas shows.1

Catch up: what changed while you were away

Robin checks announcements, moved deadlines, and new files and pages for the stretch you name, lists them newest first, and leads with anything that needs doing before the week is out.

Try asking
  • “What did I miss this week?”
  • “Did any deadlines change?”
  • “New announcements since Monday?”

It won’t pad it out. If nothing changed, it says so.

  • Media Ownership posted that journal replies need two citations.2
  • Data Structures added the Lab 7 starter code.3

Drafts that stay yours

On Plus and Pro, what Robin writes becomes a document in Wingit. Keep editing it beside the chat, ask Robin to rewrite a paragraph or add a section, step back to an earlier version, and export it to Word, Markdown, or PDF. Math comes out as math.

Answers with their sources

Answers from your courses list the sources they used, with numbers you can follow back to the page, the file, or the minute of the lecture, and Robin says when an answer is not from your course. Conversations and documents are stored with your account, not in your browser, so they follow you to any computer.
