Ask it anything about your training or maritime topics in plain language, and it searches your course content and maritime knowledge to give you a grounded answer. Ask Seamind is part of the **Tutor** product. If you don't see **Chat** in your sidebar, your organization hasn't enabled it yet — ask your admin. See [Tutor](/products/tutor). ## Opening the assistant Click **Chat** in the left sidebar from anywhere in the app. It opens a full-page conversation titled **Ask Seamind** — separate from the course player, so you can use it before, during, or after your training. ## What it can help with The empty chat offers three quick prompts to get you started: * **Explore Modules** — find out what courses are available and what they cover * **Get Help** — have a concept explained in a different way * **Study Tips** — get advice on how to prepare for a quiz You can also just type your own question. ## Tips for good answers * **Be specific.** "What are the fire-safety steps for an engine-room fire?" works better than "tell me about safety". * **Ask for a different explanation** if the first answer doesn't click — "explain that more simply" or "give me an example". * **Use it to study,** not to look up quiz answers mid-quiz. The assistant is there to help you understand the material, not to complete assessments for you. ## Good to know * Ask Seamind shows its thinking as it searches, then gives you the answer with the sources it drew on. * If your connection drops mid-answer, you can retry — your conversation is preserved. * The assistant is a learning aid. For account, assignment, or login problems, contact your admin or IT team instead — see [Troubleshooting](/learn/learner/troubleshooting).
