Tutor-GPT is an AI-powered learning companion designed to adapt to individual learning needs through dynamic prompt reasoning and personalized user representations. It targets students and lifelong learners seeking a more engaging and effective educational experience beyond traditional tutoring.

How It Works

Tutor-GPT leverages a "Theory of Mind" approach, enabling it to reason about a user's cognitive state and learning preferences. This allows for dynamic prompt updates, creating a personalized learning path. It integrates with Honcho for identity modeling, Supabase for authentication and data storage, and Openrouter for LLM inference, facilitating a robust and adaptable learning environment.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install dependencies: pnpm install
• Run development server: pnpm run dev
• Requires Node.js, pnpm, and a local or hosted Supabase instance. Docker is recommended for local Supabase setup.
• Environment variables must be configured in .env.local.
• Official documentation: https://github.com/plastic-labs/tutor-gpt

Licensing & Compatibility

• Licensed under GPL-3.0.
• GPL-3.0 is a strong copyleft license, requiring derivative works to also be open-sourced under the same license. This may impose restrictions on commercial use or linking with closed-source software.

Limitations & Caveats

The project relies on several third-party services (Honcho, Supabase, Openrouter, Stripe), requiring separate setup and API keys for full functionality. The GPL-3.0 license may present compatibility challenges for commercial or closed-source integrations.
