Use an AI assistant with Rilmo

Connect Claude, ChatGPT or another assistant to Rilmo and ask it about your own classes. This page covers what it can see, how to use it, how to connect it and what to do if something doesn’t work.

What an assistant can see

A connected assistant can read the courses in your Rilmo account, including courses shared with you: class transcripts, notes, slides and the concept map.

It can’t change, add or delete anything, and it reads only the Rilmo account that approved it.

Before an assistant can read anything, Rilmo shows this page and asks you. If you choose Don’t connect, the assistant gets nothing.

Play evidence clips is a separate permission, and it is optional. It lets the assistant give you short audio clips of a moment in class. Clear the checkbox to share text only.

How to use it

Ask about your classes in plain words. Naming the course or the class helps the assistant look in the right place.

  • “I missed Tuesday’s class. What did we cover?”
  • “What did the teacher say about the project deadline?”
  • “What is the AI policy in this course?”
  • “Explain this concept the way it was taught in class.”
  • “Here is my answer. Does it follow the method shown in class?”
  • “Quiz me on the last three classes” or “Make me a study guide for the exam.”
  • “How does this concept connect to what we saw last week?”

The assistant can read your concepts and the relationships Rilmo recorded between them, so it can follow how ideas link from one class or course to another.

Answers can point back to where something comes from: the exact words from the transcript, with the time they were said when Rilmo has it, or the text of a slide with its page. If you allowed audio, the assistant can also give you a private link to a short clip of a moment in class. The link works for five minutes.

Connect

In Rilmo, open Settings, then AI assistants. Each assistant has one button that starts its setup.

Claude

Choose Add beside Claude. Claude opens with Rilmo filled in: choose Add, then Connect, and approve in Rilmo. It then works in Claude on the web, on desktop and on mobile. Claude Free allows one custom connector.

ChatGPT

This works on chatgpt.com and needs ChatGPT Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu.

  1. In Rilmo, choose Set up beside ChatGPT, then Copy URL and open ChatGPT.
  2. In ChatGPT, select +, then Add custom MCP server.
  3. Name it Rilmo, paste the URL, then choose OAuth and Create as a plugin.
  4. Approve in Rilmo. Then, in a chat, type @ and pick Rilmo.

Claude Code and Codex

Run the command in a terminal, then approve in Rilmo. In Claude Code, type /mcp and pick rilmo to sign in.

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user rilmo https://api.rilmo.app/api/mcp

For Codex, which shares its setup with the ChatGPT desktop app:

codex mcp add rilmo --url https://api.rilmo.app/api/mcp

If Codex opens no sign-in page, run this one too.

codex mcp login rilmo

Other apps

Add a remote server named Rilmo with this URL. If the app asks, choose Streamable HTTP and OAuth.

https://api.rilmo.app/api/mcp

Organization admins

Rilmo has no organization-wide access. Each member connects with their own Rilmo account, approves access themselves and reaches only their own classes.

On Claude Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds Rilmo first. The Owner link opens Claude’s organization settings with Rilmo filled in.

On ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and Edu, a workspace admin may need to allow custom apps before members can add Rilmo. The URL is the one under Other apps.

Stay in control

In Settings, then AI assistants, select a connected assistant. Recent activity shows what it read and when. Stop audio ends audio clips and keeps the rest. Disconnect ends its access right away, and it has to ask you again before it can read anything.

What your assistant does with what it reads follows that assistant’s own privacy terms. Rilmo’s privacy page explains how Rilmo handles your data.

If something doesn’t work

  • The assistant doesn’t use Rilmo. In Claude, check that Rilmo is turned on for the chat. In ChatGPT, type @ and pick Rilmo. Saying “in my Rilmo classes” in the question also helps.
  • It reads the wrong account. The approval page shows which Rilmo account is signed in. Disconnect the assistant in Settings, then AI assistants, sign in to Rilmo with the right account and connect again.
  • A class is incomplete. The assistant reads what Rilmo has prepared. Notes and concepts appear once Rilmo has finished preparing the class. Open the class in Rilmo to see where it stands.
  • Audio doesn’t play. A clip link stops working after five minutes, so ask for it again. Slides have no audio. If audio was left off when you connected, disconnect and connect again with Play evidence clips checked.
  • The assistant says to try again later. Rilmo limits how many requests an assistant can make each minute. Wait a minute, then ask again.
  • Still stuck? Write to contact@rilmo.app.
