A personal learning agent, built as a digital twin of Zia Khan, that teaches the Agent Factory, remembers your progress, and continues where you stopped.
It lives inside the AI agent you already use, including Claude. Add one connector and one skill, authorize once, and begin learning. There is no separate app to install. Your AI agent is the runtime.
Zia Tutor AI
Beta 1 — available on Claude

Welcome back! Last time you finished the 10-80-10 rule. Before we move on, can you explain it in one sentence?
I define the task, AI does the middle work, and I verify the result.
Exactly right. You're ready for the next concept. Let's build on it.
Personal AI begins with a purpose
That focus makes Zia Tutor AI a vertical personal AI agent for education. It does not try to manage your entire life. It keeps the context needed to guide one important journey from beginning to competence.
Most AI tutors answer the question in front of them. Zia Tutor AI also understands where that question belongs in your learning journey.
The first generation of AI education tools gave every learner access to answers. The next gives every learner a personal agent that understands:
One connector, one skill, three records
Three governed records work together behind the tutor. Together they create a tutor that is grounded, recognizable, and continuous.
The Agent Factory System of Record holds the book's governed concepts, methods, terminology, and learning material.
Your goal, what you do, and how you learn, plus the material you completed, the understanding you demonstrated, and your next learning step.
How Zia teaches: his voice, his principles, his explanations, his standards, and his instructional method.
One system, two roles
Zia Tutor AI is a digital twin of Zia Khan: his teaching identity, method, judgment, and governed knowledge, encoded as an agent. In engineering, a digital twin represents a physical asset. Here, it represents a person's expertise and teaching method instead.
For the learner
It knows your learning context and guides your individual progress through the Agent Factory.
For the Agent Factory
In the FDE Agent Factory Model it holds the Layer 2 reference-expert position. Every vertical can eventually create its own equivalent.
Every profession can have its own twin
Zia Tutor AI teaches the Agent Factory. A vertical expert twin teaches and supports the work of its own profession.
The teacher behind the twin
Zia Khan co-founded Panaversity and co-authored The AI Agent Factory, the book that introduces the methodology taught by this digital twin. An agentic AI developer, software architect, and educator, he holds three master's degrees from Arizona State University in engineering, business administration, and accounting information systems. He is also a U.S. Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Certified Management Accountant (CMA).
Set up Zia Tutor AI
You add two things in claude.ai, once. The connector brings the book, Zia's teaching, and your progress. The skill is how you call him. After that, one command starts a lesson.
In claude.ai, add Zia Tutor AI as a custom connector and sign in with your Panaversity account. This gives you your own learner record.
Download the Zia Tutor AI skill and upload the zip to Skills in claude.ai. This is how Claude knows when to bring Zia in.
Open a new chat with Opus 5 or Sonnet 5 and type /zia-tutor-ai. Zia says hello by name and picks up where you stopped.
Beta 1: expect rough edges
The official guide has the connector details, the skill download, and screenshots for every step. Zia only comes when you call him with /zia-tutor-ai, so your other chats stay normal.
