Grounded Q&A
Ask about course material with page-level citations and source provenance.
Find answers in your course materials, and the page they came from.
MelbMind keeps a course's lectures, tutorials, past exams and official solutions in their roles. Ask a question, see how a topic has been examined, or practise. Every answer cites its page.
A course lives across many kinds of material.
Concepts, exercises, past assessments, worked solutions and reference conventions are scattered across documents. Searching them as interchangeable text loses what each source is for.
- LectureConcepts
- TutorialPractice
- AssessmentWhat is examined
- Official solutionHow answers are worked
- ReferenceFormulas and conventions
Model the course, not just the chunks.
Document roles and question-to-solution links help MelbMind use evidence for the academic task at hand.
- Generic retrieval
- Documents → chunks → similarity → answer
- MelbMind
- Course structure → academic intent → scope constraints → role-aware evidence → tools → Evidence Gate → traceable output
From source pages to useful academic work.
Assessment Intelligence
Analyse observed question patterns across selected assessments with explicit scope and evidence.
Official Solution Workflows
Link assessment questions to official solutions and resolve question and sub-question evidence.
Course-specific Practice
With your own API key, generate mark-aware practice and worked answers based on course patterns.

The Agent follows a Query Contract, records its tools and evidence, and checks scope and support before reporting successful completion. Citations and an Execution Trace stay visible.
- Query ContractPins down the course, assessment, year and question a request is about.
- Academic tools + evidenceSearches lectures, past papers and official solutions with purpose-built academic tools.
- Evidence GateChecks that the evidence matches the requested scope before a run can report success.
- Citations + traceEvery claim links to a source page, and every step stays open to inspection.
Evidence in the interface.
Captured from the fully synthetic SAMPLE101 curriculum. The live demo runs the same product workflows.

To keep the public demo reproducible and safe to share, it uses SAMPLE101, a fully synthetic course. Real university materials stay private, in local or self-hosted deployments.
