A free AI tutor that teaches you out loud
taughtful.ai is a free AI tutor that teaches you out loud, the way a private tutor would. Bring a YouTube video, a PDF or your notes, or just type a topic, and a voice tutor teaches it to you section by section while it generates the lesson's video in real time. Interrupt at any moment by voice to ask why, and it answers, re-teaches that part, and checks in with you before it moves on.
taughtful.ai is an AI tutor you listen to and talk to: it teaches any video, document, or topic out loud and generates the lesson's video as it speaks.
What is an AI tutor?
An AI tutor is software that teaches you the way a human tutor does: it explains, checks what you understood, and adapts to your questions, instead of only answering what you type. Most AI tutors are chat apps where you read and type. taughtful.ai is a voice AI tutor: it speaks, you speak back, and it shows you the idea in a video it generates while it teaches.
What can taughtful.ai teach you?
- Any YouTube video: paste a link; lectures, tutorials, and talks with captions, in any language
- Any PDF or document: PDFs including scanned ones, Word files, presentations, ebooks, links, pasted text, and photos of your notes
- Any topic: type what you want to learn and it builds a lesson from real sources in a few seconds
- Full courses: taught lesson by lesson, with quizzes and spoken checks
An AI video tutor, not a chat window
As the tutor teaches, taughtful.ai generates the lesson's video live: diagrams, code, charts, and motion drawn in step with the voice. When you interrupt, it changes too, so the next thing you see is an answer to your question, not the next frame of a fixed clip.
How does a lesson with the AI tutor work?
- Pick what to learn: a YouTube video, a document, or a topic.
- taughtful.ai reads it and splits it into sections, using the chapters or headings it already has.
- The voice tutor teaches one section at a time, generating the lesson's video in real time as it explains.
- Speak whenever you are stuck. The tutor answers, then carries on from where you were.
- It checks in with questions as it goes, so you know you understood before moving on.
How is an AI tutor different from a chatbot?
A chatbot answers the question you type and then waits. A tutor leads: taughtful.ai walks the whole material in order, explains it out loud, and checks in with you, so you do not need to know what to ask first. When you do have a question, you say it and the tutor answers it mid-lesson.
Who uses taughtful.ai?
Students preparing for exams or catching up on lecture videos and readings, self-learners working through a course or a textbook, professionals picking up a new tool or field, and anyone who understands better by being taught out loud than by reading alone.

Why teaching this way works
- One-to-one tutoring is the most effective form of instruction ever measured: in Bloom's studies the average tutored student performed about two standard deviations above a conventionally taught class, better than 98 percent of those students. taughtful.ai puts that kind of tutor on anything you want to learn. (Bloom, "The 2 Sigma Problem", Educational Researcher, 1984)
- People learn more deeply from words and pictures together than from words alone, which is why the tutor generates the lesson's video as it explains instead of only talking. (Mayer, Multimedia Learning, Cambridge University Press)
- Retrieving what you just learned makes it stick far better than going over it again, which is why the tutor checks in and asks you questions as it goes. (Roediger & Karpicke, "Test-Enhanced Learning", Psychological Science, 2006)
Frequently asked questions
Is this AI tutor free?
Yes to start: 10 voice minutes a day and 25 a week, no card needed. Pro is $15 a month or $144 a year, and Max is $39 a month or $372 a year, so annual billing saves 20 percent.
Can I try it on this page?
Yes. Press Watch this page at the top and taughtful.ai teaches this page to you out loud, as a video you can interrupt with any question. No sign-up to start.
Can I talk to the AI tutor?
Yes. It teaches out loud and you answer by voice. Interrupt at any moment to ask why, ask it to slow down, or ask for an example, and it adjusts before moving on.
What can it teach?
Anything you bring as a YouTube video, a document, or a topic, from biology and calculus to programming, history, and law. There are also full courses taught lesson by lesson.
Is it an AI video tutor?
Yes. It generates the lesson's video in real time as it teaches: diagrams, code, charts, and motion in step with the voice. The video changes when you interrupt, so it answers your question instead of playing on.
Where do the answers come from?
From what you are learning. A video lesson is taught from the video's transcript and a document lesson from your document. A topic lesson is written from real sources that taughtful.ai searches; topic lessons are in beta, so tell the tutor when something looks off.
Does it teach in other languages?
YouTube videos work with captions in any language, and you can ask the tutor to teach in another language.
