## What CPA.education Is
- **Shared Study Rooms**: Collaborative rooms where accounting learners and mentors ask questions, share study resources, and work through accounting concepts together.
- **Conversational AI Tutors**: Configurable AI tutors that answer accounting questions in plain English, help unpack multi-step problems, and support room discussions.
- **Knowledge Files & Citations**: Tutors can be configured with study knowledge files and surface citations where available so learners can verify explanations against source material.
- **Human Mentors & Community Governance**: Experienced mentors participate alongside AI tutors. AI is an educational study aid—never a substitute for official guidance or professional judgment.
