ABSTRACT Advisory-AI is a project that offers the potential to restructure learning support by providing students with a readily available, personalized tool to overcome their learning challenges and achieve academic success. It utilizes a Large Language Model (LLM) to deliver personalized learning support through an intentionally reflective dialogue (Kato & Mynard, 2016) structured around Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. Learners will engage with the LLM, receiving prompts and guidance to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking styles hindering their progress (based on Beck’s cognitive model). This will be followed by the development of personalized action plans and accountability check points to address these obstacles. The system’s accessibility and scalability will allow for widespread learner support. By measuring learner satisfaction, learning progress and the reduction in self-reported learning challenges, we aim to assess the effectiveness of this approach in empowering learners to achieve academic success.
