Best Practices
- Be specific: "Explain the difference between mitosis and meiosis" works better than "help with biology"
- Provide context: Upload relevant notes or documents for more targeted help
- Use follow-ups: Ask "Can you give me an example?" or "Why does that happen?"
- Try both modes: Use Socratic mode for topics you want to deeply understand, Direct mode for quick answers
