Estudios Tributarios: a 24/7 AI tutor inside Moodle
Estudios Tributarios runs a Moodle-native AI agent that tutors students 24/7 from the course curriculum only, citing the unit and page of every answer given.
The problem
Students study at night, on weekends and the day before an exam, which is exactly when no teacher is available. The same doubts return with every cohort, in the forum and in the inbox. A general AI tool is not an acceptable substitute, because it will answer confidently from outside the program.
The approach
E-comienza built a Moodle-native agent that tutors students 24/7 using exclusively the course curriculum. It runs RAG over that curriculum, so answers come from indexed course passages. Every answer cites the unit and page. When a question is not covered by the material, the agent says so instead of guessing.
The result
The agent is in production at estudiostributarios.com, inside the Moodle course. A student asks about VAT exemption requirements and receives the three requirements from Unit 4 with the source stated as Unit 4, page 23, then an offer to explain the next concept. Students install nothing and use the Moodle account they already have.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Estudios Tributarios AI agent?
It is a Moodle-native AI tutor built by E-comienza that answers student questions 24/7 using exclusively the course curriculum. It runs inside the Moodle course, cites the unit and page of each answer, and states when a question is not covered by the course material.
How does the agent avoid making things up?
It uses RAG over the course curriculum, so it writes each answer from indexed passages of the course rather than from general model knowledge, and it names the unit and page it used. When a question falls outside the material, it says the question is not in the course instead of guessing.
Do students need a separate account to use it?
No. The agent is native to Moodle, so students use the account they already have and ask on the same page where they study. There is nothing to install and no second login. Administrators keep one platform rather than adding a second one to run and support.
What does a cited answer look like?
A student asks what the requirements are for VAT exemption. The agent answers with the three requirements set out in Unit 4 and states the source as Unit 4, page 23, so the student can open that page and read the full passage in context before continuing with the course.
