Llama AI for students

A good study session needs someone who explains a hard idea a second and third time without sighing, and who asks you questions until the idea sticks. The Llama chat on this site can play that part for free, in your browser, without an account. Your conversations stay in your own browser, and the two Llama 4 models can read a photo of a worksheet, a page of notes or a graph. Here are seven ways students get real value from it, each with a prompt you can open and edit.

Learn the material, not just the answer

These uses help you understand a topic well enough to explain it yourself.

Snap a homework problem and ask for hints

Take a clear photo of the problem, attach it in the chat with Llama 4 Maverick (the default model) and ask for hints rather than a solution. You stay in charge of the thinking, and the model points out where you went off track.

I've attached a photo of a [subject] problem from my homework. Read it back to me first so I know you saw it correctly. Then give me one hint at a time and wait for my reply before the next hint. Don't show the final answer unless I ask for it.

Open this prompt in the chat, then attach your photo. For typed questions, the Homework Helper is quicker.

Explain it back and find the gaps

Writing an idea in your own words shows you what you only half understand. Let the chat play the strict examiner who reads your explanation and marks what is missing or wrong.

I'm studying [topic] for [course]. Below is my own explanation of it. Tell me which parts are correct, which are vague, and which are wrong, then quiz me with two questions aimed at the weakest part: [your explanation]

Try it in the chat.

Turn your notes into practice questions

Questions made from your own notes match what your teacher actually covered. Ask for a mix of quick recall and "why" questions, and keep the answers hidden until you have tried.

Here are my notes from [class or chapter]: [paste notes]. Write ten practice questions from them: six short recall questions and four that ask me to explain why or how. List the answers separately at the end so I can test myself first.

Make your questions in the chat.

Read a chart or diagram from your textbook

Graphs in science and economics often hide the main point in plain sight. Attach a photo of the figure and ask the model to walk you through it, then check its reading against the caption in your book.

I've attached a photo of a [chart, graph or diagram] from my [subject] textbook. Tell me what the axes or labels show, describe the main trend or relationship in two sentences, and ask me one question to check that I can read it myself.

Open this prompt and attach the image.

Write, read and practise

For assignments, use the chat for planning and feedback, and keep the writing your own.

Stress-test your essay argument

A thesis gets stronger when someone argues against it. Ask for the best objections a sharp classmate could raise, so you can answer them in your essay.

My essay for [class] argues that [your thesis]. Give me the three strongest objections someone could make to this argument, explain each in two sentences, and suggest what kind of evidence would help me answer it. Don't write any part of the essay for me.

Test your argument in the chat. The Essay Writer can help with outlines.

Get through a dense reading

When an article is heavy going, ask for a map before you read it closely: the main claim, how it is built and the terms you need.

Here is a passage from a reading for my [course]: [paste passage]. Summarize its main claim in one sentence, list the steps of the argument, and define any terms a [year or level] student might not know. Keep it short.

Use this prompt, or paste the whole text into the Summarizer.

Practise a language you are learning

Speaking practice is hard to find. A text conversation with gentle corrections is the next best thing, and you can choose the topic and level.

Let's have a conversation in [language] about [topic]. My level is [beginner, intermediate or advanced]. Keep your replies to two or three sentences, and after each of my messages, correct my mistakes in a short list before you continue.

What to avoid

• Submitting text the AI wrote. Rules on AI help differ between schools and even between teachers. Read your course policy, and use the chat to learn and plan rather than to produce what you hand in.
• Trusting every fact. Llama models can state wrong dates, formulas or quotes with full confidence, and they can invent sources. Check anything important in your textbook or class materials.
• Expecting current news. The chat cannot browse the web and its knowledge stops at a cut-off date, so it may not know recent events or this year's syllabus changes.
• Oversharing. The model does not need your name, student number or details about classmates to help you. On a shared computer, delete your chats when you finish.
