AI Use in Prodigi

When to Use It and What to Watch For: AI in Prodigi can help you understand information faster and with less effort.

You can use the AI Assistant in:

• Lupa
• Files
• Libros
• Distancia
• the stand-alone AI Assistant app

Start with your goal: Before using AI, ask yourself:

• Do I need the main idea?
• Do I need exact wording?
• Do I need help deciding what to read more closely?
• Do I need help understanding a form, chart, image, or page layout?

Simple rules:

• Use magnification when you can see enough.
• Use AI when you need quick understanding.
• Use OCR and text-to-speech when you need full detail.
• Use both when you need quick understanding and exact text.
• Trust but verify.

AI can help with things like:

• understanding what a document is
• getting a short summary
• identifying what seems important
• explaining something in simpler language
• asking follow-up questions
• helping you decide what to do next

Be careful: AI is helpful, but it is not perfect. Check the original source when:

• exact wording matters
• the information is important
• the topic is medical, legal, financial, or otherwise high stakes
• you are unsure whether the answer is complete or correct
• Privacy and control: Before sharing content with the AI Assistant, Prodigi shows a message explaining what is being shared.
• AI can also be limited or turned off when needed. This can be helpful in schools, rehabilitation settings, workplaces, or other supported environments.

Good use sounds like this:

• “What is this page about?”
• “What matters most here?”
• “Do I need to read this in full?”
• “Can you explain this more simply?”
• “Now let me check the original text.”
• Bottom line: AI in Prodigi is best used to reduce effort, support understanding, and help you decide what to do next.
• It is a tool to support you, not replace your judgment.
