[New] mobieusLearn: No learner-facing AI tutor / course Q&A despite mobieusAI integration

Area: mobieusLearn (audit p8) · Surface: LearnAI feature set · Dimension: competitor-gap · Severity: minor

LearnWorlds shipped an AI course assistant and Coursera/Khan (Khanmigo) popularized an in-course AI tutor grounded in the lesson content. Mobieus already has mobieusAI (Claude, grounded in mobieusKnow) but applies it ONLY to course authors, never to learners. A learner reading a lesson cannot ask 'explain this differently' or 'quiz me on this module.' Why it matters: an AI study companion grounded in the course content is a high-visibility differentiator that reuses infrastructure Mobieus already owns (BYO Anthropic key), turning a back-office AI into a learner-retention feature.

Evidence

platform/src/Services/Learn/LearnAI.php:37-55 — every AI feature constant is authoring-side (GENERATE_ITEMS, DRAFT_MODULE, SUGGEST_OBJECTIVE, DRAFT_ALT_TEXT, READING_LEVEL, QUIZ_GEN, COURSE_DESC, TAKEAWAYS, RUBRIC, COHORT_DIGEST_AI). There is no learner-scoped 'ask the course' / tutor feature; src/Services/AI/AIFeatureCatalog.php:108 lists ai_learn_rubric with scope SCOPE_ADMIN. No learner-facing AI endpoint exists in the route list.

Suggested fix. Add a learner-scoped AI feature: an in-player 'Ask about this lesson' panel grounded in the activity's content blocks (and optionally mobieusKnow), plus 'quiz me on this module' generating practice questions from the question bank. Gate per-tenant via the existing AI feature catalog.
