Microsoft Copilot (Best inside Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook)
It lives inside those apps. Your school may provide a managed version, so check yours.
- Use your school-provided account when one exists; managed accounts often have stronger privacy terms.
- Check privacy settings: look for options to turn off chat history or model training, and keep patient information out regardless.
- Free plans have usage limits that change. If you hit one, switch tools and paste the same prompt.
- Every prompt in this library is tool-neutral. The same prompt in two tools is a quick way to catch a wrong answer.
How AI fits your existing study stack
You're already using these tools. Here's how AI Plays make them better.
Lecture notes / slides
Paste your own notes and get exam-style questions written only from what your course taught
UWorld
Analyze your wrongs per block, then track gaps across weeks
Anki
Generate board-style cards from lectures in 5 minutes
NBME Practice Tests
Paste content area breakdowns to find persistent weak spots
Pathoma / B&B
When a concept from these resources won't stick, drill it Socratically
AMBOSS / UpToDate
Load into NotebookLM for source-grounded shelf review
What NOT to put into AI tools
- No patient identifying information.No names, MRNs, DOBs, or any data that could identify a patient. HIPAA applies to AI tools. Use “[Patient]” as a placeholder.
- No copyrighted Qbank content.Don't paste full UWorld, NBME, or AMBOSS questions. Use your own notes and summaries from these resources instead.
- No exam questions or answers.Don't use AI to complete graded assessments. Academic integrity violations are non-negotiable.
- No clinical decision-making for real patients. AI Plays are for studying, not for diagnosing or treating. Never use AI output as the basis for a clinical decision.
Check your school's policy
Rules on AI use differ by school, course, and exam. When in doubt, ask your course director. If your practice scores are plateauing or you need a personalized study strategy, your school's learning specialist or academic support office can help.
