Students
After-hours study help with hints and quizzes, essay feedback, campus directions, and connected apps — just message Emily normally.
Pilot · Western's science program · London, Ontario
Message Emily like you'd text a friend. She helps you learn, find your way around campus, connect your apps, and remember what matters — with clear academic boundaries. Telegram is how you reach her.
Beta: Emily is in active development — features may change and bugs can happen. Open to any Telegram user at @Emcbearbot. Report issues or email [email protected].

How you talk to Emily
You do not need to know how AI works. Type or talk in normal sentences. Emily figures out whether you want help studying, directions, a reminder, or something saved for next time.
| You might say… | What happens |
|---|---|
| “Explain mitosis like I'm tired” | Walks you through the topic step by step |
| “Quiz me on that” | Switches to practice questions |
| “Directions to Weldon Library” | Campus directions at Western University (after you share your location) |
| “Remember I like studying at Weldon” | Saves it for your next chat |
| “What do you know about me?” | Shows everything Emily has saved |
| “Forget everything about me” | Deletes saved memory |
Optional shortcuts like /help exist for power users — you never need to memorize them.
Built for university students — not a general chat app with a homework shortcut pasted on top.

Study help
Step-by-step explanations, practice quizzes, and essay feedback — with a pilot focus on first-year science (biology, chemistry, physics) at Western.
Two different things: what you ask Emily to remember (preferences, professors, notes) stays saved until you delete it. Your recent chat history is kept shorter so replies stay focused and affordable.
Remembers you
Ask Emily to remember your favourite study spot, your professor, or pinned course notes. Next time you open Telegram, she still knows — unlike a one-off chat that forgets you when you close the app.
| What Emily keeps | Examples | Until |
|---|---|---|
| Preferences & habits | Music you like, favourite study spots | Until you delete |
| Professors & class rules | Dr. Kim, APA formatting preferences | Until you delete |
| Pinned course notes | Syllabus, notes from Drive or Notion | Until you remove them |
| Quiz progress | What you have practiced, review reminders | Exportable · deletable |
Try saying: “Remember I like K-pop” · “Remember I usually study at Weldon” · “Remember Dr. Kim is my chem professor”
This is different from your recent chat history. Things you ask Emily to remember stay saved until you delete them. When a conversation gets very long, Emily may focus on recent messages — that does not erase what you asked her to keep.
Long conversations
Emily is built for students on a budget. She keeps replies focused, summarizes very long chats, and does not pretend to remember every message forever. What you explicitly ask her to save is treated differently — see remembers you.
When a chat gets crowded, Emily keeps first: Quiz progress → Conversation summary → Uploaded file excerpts → School & file references → Older messages.
On by default: Emily strips names and personal details on her server before sending text to OpenAI or other AI services — using generic labels that resist mosaic-style re-identification.
Privacy by default
Emily cleans your messages on her own server before sending anything to OpenAI or other AI services. Your real name, contacts, and personal details are replaced with generic labels — and the mapping that links labels back to you never leaves Emily.
On by default. Separate from memory you control — anonymization affects what AI companies receive, not what Emily saves locally until you delete it.
Emily does not guarantee your data can never be lost. Connect Google Drive for automatic copies, or say export my data for a full ZIP — especially before you forget anything.
Your backups
Emily stores your data on the tutor server — but she does not promise it can never be lost. Your best protection is copies you control, especially Google Drive when connected.
| Option | You might say… | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Full data export | "export my data" | ZIP with chats, saved memory, quiz progress, profile, reminders, notes, and more→ Sent in Telegram (or saved on server if very large) · About once per 24 hours |
| Save session to Drive | "export to Google Drive" | Markdown summary of your current tutoring session→ Your Google Drive · Whenever you ask |
| Auto Drive sync | Automatic when Google is connected | Chat transcript, latest session, notes, timetable, and an offline readme→ Your Drive → exports/ folder · After you chat (about every 2 minutes, when something changed) |
| Uploaded file copies | When you attach a PDF or photo (Google connected) | A copy of files you upload for study help→ Your Drive → uploads/ folder (by date) · Per upload |
Auto Drive folder includes

Not automatic — know the gaps
After forget: Copies already in your Google Drive are not deleted when you say "forget everything" on Emily — see the Privacy Policy. Full export before a forget is a good idea if you want to keep everything.

Upload a file, get an explanation, take a quiz, play a study playlist — Emily tracks your progress along the way.
Hints, not answer keys
Start: "help me practice …" · "don't give me the answer"
Example: How do I balance this equation? → hint → limiting reagent check → progress saved.
