AI Tutor Pro and AI Teaching Assistant Pro
AI Tutor Pro (aitutorpro.ca) and AI Teaching Assistant Pro (aiteachingassistantpro.ca) are two free web apps from Contact North | Contact Nord, an Ontario not-for-profit distance-education network. They share a no-registration design, a privacy policy and a ChatGPT backend, but face different users: AI Tutor Pro is a tutoring space where learners discuss a topic, check what they know and build a study guide, while AI Teaching Assistant Pro is a production space where instructors generate multiple-choice and essay questions, draft syllabi and teaching notes, and assemble short learning videos. Because both run in the browser without an account and support more than 25 languages, they are unusually easy to try with a class before deciding whether to embed them in an LMS.
What you can do with it
AI Tutor Pro organizes study into four tools: Discuss runs a voice conversation about any topic and supports eight languages; Check quizzes a learner on a topic and reports what they know; Grow provides guided tutoring and step-by-step explanation; Build composes a personalized study guide. The site reports more than 3.5 million interactions by students and educators. A Chrome extension lets a reader highlight a term on any page and open Check or Grow with it prefilled, and the app can be embedded in Canvas, Blackboard Ultra, D2L Brightspace or Moodle. Users can switch the model to Mistral AI and route math and science questions to Wolfram Alpha in Check.
AI Teaching Assistant Pro turns course material into teaching artifacts: banks of multiple-choice and essay questions, a syllabus with teaching notes, Learning Shorts (short video overviews), a Syllabus Q&A tool and a Faculty Assistant for assessing student understanding. Its Slide Builder is labeled beta. The site reports more than half a million interactions.
Who it is for
Learners in higher education and adult learning are the primary audience for AI Tutor Pro, particularly those preparing for exams or working through difficult concepts without a tutor. Instructors, instructional designers and faculty developers are the audience for AI Teaching Assistant Pro, especially where course preparation time is the binding constraint. The two can be used as a pair: an instructor generates practice questions and a syllabus with one, and students work through the resulting topics with the other.
Owston (2026), writing as one of the developers, sets out the design rationale for AI Tutor Pro's three modes and describes three adoption patterns in the journal article.
Notes and caveats
Both apps are free and require no personal information, but "private and anonymous" is not the same as "no data": Contact North's policy says it collects ChatGPT interaction logs and Google Analytics data, stores them on servers in Canada, does not permit OpenAI to train on them, and shares interaction data with OpenAI, which retains it for up to 30 days. AI Tutor Pro is not recommended for users under 18 without parent or guardian permission. The vendor's interaction counts are its own marketing figures, not independent usage data, and the beta label on Slide Builder means its output should be checked before classroom use. No open-source license is stated, so the code is not available for institutional modification.
