Getting Started with CurricuLLM

A guide for students

What is CurricuLLM?

CurricuLLM is an AI learning tool built around the Australian and New Zealand curricula. It knows what you're supposed to be learning at your year level and it's designed to help you understand the content better. You can use it in class and at home.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

If you've used ChatGPT, you'll notice CurricuLLM works differently. ChatGPT gives you answers. CurricuLLM makes you work for them.

That's deliberate. When an AI writes your essay or solves your problem for you, you haven't actually learned anything. CurricuLLM is designed to guide you through the thinking so that you understand the material, not just have a finished product.

It's also more accurate on curriculum content. General AI tools get about 41% of ANZ curriculum questions right. CurricuLLM gets 89%.

How to log in

Go to app.curricullm.com and log in with your school email. You'll go straight into chat mode.

How to actually get something out of it

Explain your thinking
Don't just type a one-word answer. "I think the reaction is exothermic because the temperature went up" gives CurricuLLM something to work with. "Exothermic" doesn't.
Push back
If you disagree with something CurricuLLM says, say so. The best learning happens when you challenge ideas, not just accept them.
Ask follow-up questions
"Can you explain that differently?" or "Why does that matter?" or "How does this connect to what we did last week?" The more you dig in, the more useful it gets.
Be honest about what you don't know
"I have no idea where to start" is a perfectly valid thing to type. CurricuLLM will break the problem down. Pretending you understand when you don't wastes your time.

Learning check-ins

The first time you ask about a new subject, CurricuLLM might show you a short check-in — a few quick questions (usually 1–5) to understand where you are. It's not a test and it's not graded. It just helps CurricuLLM pitch its explanations at the right level for you. You can skip it if you want, but completing it means better-tailored help.

What it won't do

CurricuLLM won't write your essay, solve your maths homework, or give you answers to copy. If you ask it to, it'll redirect you. It's designed that way because the research is clear: you learn by doing the thinking yourself, not by reading someone else's answer.

It also won't go off-topic. If you try to use it for things outside your schoolwork, it will bring you back. It's a learning tool, not a chatbot.

Using it well

Develop your thinking, don't outsource it
The whole point of CurricuLLM is to build your understanding. If you find yourself just accepting what it says without thinking about it, you're not getting much out of it. Engage with the ideas, challenge them, and form your own view.
It's a tool, not a person
CurricuLLM can have a surprisingly good conversation, but it's not your friend — it's software. It doesn't know you, it doesn't have feelings, and it won't remember you outside of your session. Don't confuse a useful interaction with a relationship. Your teachers, friends, and family are the people in your life.
Know when to stop
If you're frustrated, going in circles, or just not making progress, step away. Talk to your teacher, work with a classmate, or come back later. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your learning is take a break from the screen.

If something seems wrong

CurricuLLM is much more accurate than general AI tools on curriculum content, but no AI is perfect. If something doesn't seem right, question it. You can click thumbs down on the message to flag it, and check with your teacher or another source. Being able to critically evaluate what an AI tells you is one of the most important skills you can develop.

Raising a concern

If anything about your experience with CurricuLLM concerns you — something it said, something that felt off, or anything else — talk to your teacher. The thumbs down button flags individual messages for the CurricuLLM team, but your teacher is the right person for anything important. They have the context and the relationship to help you properly, and that's exactly how the system is designed to work.

Exporting your conversation

If your teacher asks you to submit evidence of your work, click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the chat and select Export CSV. It instantly downloads a spreadsheet of the conversation that you can upload to your LMS (e.g. Google Classroom, Canvas).

Technical stuff

CurricuLLM works in any web browser on any device — laptop, tablet, phone, Chromebook. There's nothing to install. If something isn't working, let your teacher know.

You can use it at home as well as in class. Same login, same address: app.curricullm.com.
