Our Position
Daxi exists to help students actually learn their course materials — not to bypass learning. That's a design decision, not a slogan: Daxi answers from the materials you upload, cites where every answer came from so you can check it, and tells you when your materials don't contain an answer instead of making one up.
What Daxi Is Built To Do
- Explain concepts from your own textbooks, lectures, and slides — with citations to the page, slide, or timestamp.
- Generate study aids from your materials: notes, summaries, quizzes, and flashcards.
- Help you find, connect, and verify information across everything your professor assigned.
- Assist with drafting and organizing — the way a word processor, a tutor, or a writing center does — grounded in your sources.
The Line, Drawn Plainly
Tools don't make integrity decisions; people do. The same feature that helps you outline a study guide can be misused to ghost-write an essay. So the line is this:
- Using Daxi to understand, review, practice, and prepare: that is studying.
- Submitting AI-generated work as your own where your institution or instructor prohibits it: that is academic dishonesty, and it violates our Terms of Service.
Every institution — and often every instructor — sets its own rules about AI assistance. You are responsible for knowing and following yours, including disclosure requirements where they exist. If you're unsure whether a use is allowed, ask your instructor before you use it.
Design Choices That Support Integrity
- Source-grounding: answers come from materials you provide, not the open internet.
- Citations by default: outputs point back to your materials so claims can be verified — by you, and by anyone you show your work to.
- Honest refusal: when your materials don't support an answer, Daxi is built to say so rather than fabricate.
- Private libraries: your materials are yours; Daxi is not a repository of shared answer keys or papers.
Our Commitments
- We will never market Daxi as a way to cheat, evade detection, or outsource graded work.
- Our Terms of Service prohibit academic dishonesty, and we may act on accounts that misuse the Service.
- We welcome conversations with instructors and institutions about how Daxi works — including its limits.
For Educators
Daxi limits itself to the materials a student uploads — typically the materials you assigned. It shows its sources. It is closer to a search-and-study layer over your own course than to a general chatbot.
