Sample Airo Interactions
3 examples
Example 1: Concept Doubt
You:
What is the difference between Fundamental Rights and DPSP?
Airo:
Here's a clear comparison:
| Aspect | Fundamental Rights | DPSP |
|---|---|---|
| Part of Constitution | Part III | Part IV |
| Justiciable | Yes (enforceable by courts) | No (not enforceable) |
| Focus | Individual rights | Welfare of society |
| Inspired by | US Constitution | Irish Constitution |
| Amendment | Can be amended (with limits) | Can be amended freely |
UPSC Tip: Questions often test whether a specific provision is FR or DPSP. Remember: If it's about individual protection against state, it's likely FR. If it's about state's duty towards welfare, it's likely DPSP.
Example 2: PYQ Doubt
You:
UPSC 2023: "Consider the following: 1. Areca nut 2. Barley 3. Coffee..." Why is Option C correct?
Airo:
Let me break this down:
- Areca nut — India IS the largest producer globally (✅)
- Barley — Russia is the largest producer, not India (❌)
- Coffee — Brazil is the largest producer, India ranks 6th (❌)
So the answer is (c) Only 1, because India leads only in Areca nut production.
Study tip: For "India's rank in production" questions, remember FILCASH: Fruits, Jute, Millets, Pulses, Spices, Tea — India often leads in these.
Example 3: Current Affairs Link
You:
There's news about RBI's digital currency. What topics should I connect this to?
Airo:
Great question! Link this to:
- Economy: Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), e-Rupee pilot
- Governance: Digital India, financial inclusion
- Technology: Blockchain vs traditional banking
- Comparison: China's Digital Yuan, Sand Dollar (Bahamas)
Potential question angles: Advantages of CBDC over cryptocurrency, impact on monetary policy transmission, privacy concerns vs. transparency.
What Airo Cannot Do
| Limitation | Workaround |
|---|---|
| Subjective answer evaluation | Use AI Mains Evaluation feature |
| Live interaction with teachers | Forum discussions or coaching |
| Optional subject deep expertise | Specialized optional resources |

Airo vs Generic AI (ChatGPT/Claude)
| Aspect | Airo | Generic AI |
|---|---|---|
| UPSC-Specific Training | ✅ Trained on UPSC syllabus | ❌ General purpose |
| PYQ Integration | ✅ Knows past patterns | ❌ Must be provided |
| Answer Format | ✅ UPSC-style structure | ❌ Generic academic |
| Hindi Quality | ✅ Native Hindi content | ⚠️ Translation quality varies |
| Syllabus Awareness | ✅ Knows what's important | ❌ No UPSC context |
| Integrated Practice | ✅ Links to MCQs, notes | ❌ Standalone |
Bottom line: Generic AI is a general tool. Airo is a UPSC specialist.

How to Use Airo Effectively
✅ Do:
- Be specific: "Explain federalism in Indian context" > "Explain federalism"
- Ask follow-ups: "Give me an example" or "Explain in Hindi"
- Request comparisons: "Compare X and Y in table format"
- Ask for UPSC relevance: "Is this important for Prelims?"
- Use for revision: "Quiz me on Article 1-50"
❌ Don't:
- Ask for essay writing (use AI Mains Evaluation instead)
