# Clamly Chat: AI study assistant with adaptive modes

> Ask questions, get step-by-step explanations, and turn any conversation into a quiz. Clamly Chat adapts to the way you learn best.

Clamly Chat is an AI assistant you can talk to from anywhere in your dashboard. Ask it to explain a concept, walk through a problem, or quiz you on what you've been studying. Pick a mode before you start, then type.

## Four chat modes

Before you start a conversation, pick a **chat mode**. The mode shapes how the AI responds throughout the session. You can switch between sessions at any time.

## How to start a chat session

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Clamly Chat">
    From your dashboard, select **Clamly Chat** in the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a Chat Mode">
    At the top of the chat panel, select your preferred mode: **Adaptive**, **Tutor**, **Buddy**, or **Professor**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask Your First Question">
    Type your question and click **Send**. Be as specific or as broad as you like.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Keep the Conversation Going">
    Follow up, ask for clarification, or go deeper on any point. Each session is continuous, so you can build on previous messages.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Asking questions and getting explanations

<Accordion title="Explain a concept">
  Ask things like *"Can you explain the difference between mitosis and meiosis?"* or *"What is opportunity cost in economics?"* Clamly Chat will explain it at the depth your chosen mode calls for.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Work through a problem">
  Paste in a problem from your coursework and ask Clamly Chat to help you reason through it. In Tutor mode, you'll get a step-by-step walkthrough rather than a direct answer.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Summarize a topic">
  Ask for a quick overview of a subject area. Good for refreshing your memory before a lecture or before going deeper into a chapter.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Compare or contrast ideas">
  Ask things like *"What's the difference between X and Y?"* or *"When would you use approach A vs. approach B?"* to sharpen your understanding of related concepts.
</Accordion>

## Turn your chat into a quiz

At any point in a conversation, ask Clamly Chat to quiz you on what you've covered. Say something like *"Quiz me on what we just covered"* or *"Give me five questions on this topic."*

<Tip>
  After talking through a subject with Clamly Chat, switching into quiz mode tests whether you actually retained it, not just whether you followed along.
</Tip>

## Your chat history

All of your Clamly Chat conversations are saved to your account automatically. You can revisit previous sessions from the chat history panel, useful for picking up where you left off or reviewing an explanation you found helpful.

<Note>
  Chat history is tied to your account, so your conversations are available across devices as long as you're logged in.
</Note>

## Session limits by plan

Clamly Chat usage is session-based. Each conversation session counts toward your plan's limit.

| Plan                    | Chat Sessions               |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------- |
| **Free**                | Limited sessions per period |
| **Starter** (\$4.99/mo) | More sessions than Free     |
| **Pro** (\$9.99/mo)     | Maximum sessions available  |

## AI accuracy

Clamly Chat runs on **Mistral AI**. It can make mistakes.

<Warning>
  AI responses may contain inaccuracies or incomplete information. Never rely solely on Clamly Chat for academic work. Always verify important facts, formulas, and explanations against your course materials or authoritative sources.
