Tools
AI School has various tools that the AI assistant can use to help you with specific tasks. These tools expand the AI's capabilities with external functions such as creating images, searching the internet, and retrieving weather information.
Tool Settings
Each tool can be configured with three different settings:
- Auto: The AI automatically decides when to use the tool (recommended)
- Enabled: The tool is always available for use
- Disabled: The tool is disabled and not used
Universal Tools
Universal tools work with all AI models and providers. These tools are developed by AI School and provide consistent functionality regardless of which model you use.
| Tool | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Create Images | Generate images based on descriptions | Critical - default on |
| Generate Quiz | Automatically create test questions | Default on |
| Internet Search | Search for current information online | Critical - default on |
| Image Search | Search for images online | Critical - default on |
| Get Weather | Request weather forecasts | Default on |
| AI Content Detection | Detect AI-generated text | Default on |
| Wikipedia Search | Search Wikipedia articles | Disabled |
| Google Routes | Plan routes and navigation | Disabled |
| Google Places | Find locations and businesses | Disabled |
| Wolfram Alpha | Complex calculations and analyses | Disabled |
| Wikiwijs Search | Search Wikiwijs educational materials | Disabled |
Native Tools
Native tools are built-in features of specific AI providers. These tools are optimized for their respective models and often provide better performance than universal alternatives.
OpenAI Native Tools
| Tool | Description | Available for |
|---|---|---|
| Web Search (OpenAI) | Built-in web search with citations | GPT-4.1 and newer |
| Code Interpreter (OpenAI) | Execute Python code in sandbox | GPT-4.1 and newer |
Anthropic Native Tools (Claude)
| Tool | Description | Available for |
|---|---|---|
| Web Search (Claude) | Built-in web search | Claude 4.0 and newer |
| Web Fetch (Claude) | Fetch web page content | Claude 4.0 and newer |
| Code Execution (Claude) | Execute code in sandbox | Claude 4.0 and newer |
Critical Tools
Some tools are marked as "critical" because they are essential for an optimal user experience:
- Create Image: For visual content creation
- Internet Search: For current information
- Image Search: For visual support
These tools are enabled by default and are recommended to keep active.
Tool Configuration
Administrators can adjust tool settings in the admin panel. The default configuration is optimized for most use cases, with the most commonly used tools set to "auto" and advanced tools disabled.
Native vs Universal Tools
When using an OpenAI or Anthropic model, the native tools of that provider are automatically activated. This means:
- For OpenAI models:
openai_web_searchreplacesinternet_search - For Anthropic models:
anthropic_web_searchreplacesinternet_search
This ensures better integration and often faster results, as the tools are specifically optimized for the model you're using.
