[ SLANG ][ AI CULTURE ][ EDUCATION ]
An AI chatbot or app used specifically as a regular study companion — quizzing, explaining concepts, keeping a student on task — framed as a peer-like presence rather than a pure reference tool.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"My AI study buddy quizzes me every night before the exam, way more consistent than actual study groups."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named within student AI-usage communities to describe the specific, ongoing companion-like relationship some students form with a study-focused AI tool, distinct from a one-off homework-help query.
