Meet Cara: Your RD Exam Chatbot Powered by Study Suite®
Who (what) is Cara?
Cara stands for Conversational AI for Rapid Assistance, and she’s here to support you on your journey to becoming a Registered Dietitian. Included in the desktop Study Suite® software, Cara is an AI-powered chatbot designed exclusively to answer your questions about nutrition and dietetics—drawing only from the accurate, trusted materials within the software.
Unlike generic AI bots or online search engines that deliver mixed or conflicting answers, Cara focuses solely on what matters for the RD Exam. Her responses are aligned with the curriculum, ensuring clarity, consistency, and relevance.
Think of Cara as your personal tutor—available 24/7 with evidence-based, RD exam-focused support.
Why Use Cara Instead of Google or Other AI Bots?
Accuracy and Focus
Cara doesn’t rely on the internet. She only uses hand-selected, vetted study content you’re already using in Study Suite. No misinformation. No rabbit holes. Just the right information at the right time.
Aligned with the RD Exam
Because Cara is trained exclusively on the same materials you study from, she delivers answers that reflect the domains and competencies you’ll be tested on.
How Cara Works
Internet Connection Required
Cara needs a few seconds to retrieve your answer and requires an internet connection to function properly.
Query Limits Based on Your Plan
Each Study Suite desktop package includes a monthly allotment of queries to Cara. On the first of each month, your query counter resets. Any unused queries do not roll over to the next month.
Tip to Save Credits
Cara treats every message as a query—including greetings and thank-yous. To conserve your credits, consider skipping these in the chat window and just say them aloud.
Want More Queries? Get an Ask Cara Multiplier
If you find yourself chatting with Cara often, you can purchase a one-time Ask Cara Query Multiplier to increase your monthly allotment. This is not a recurring fee—just a flexible way to get more from your Study Suite experience.
Features That Make Studying Easier
Speak Feature
Each time Cara responds, tap the Speak icon to have her most recent answer read aloud. Great for audio learners or multitaskers!
Saved Conversations in My Notes
Everything you ask Cara—and everything she replies—is automatically saved in the My Notes section of the main Study Suite screen. Review past chats anytime, no need to copy-paste or screenshot.
Ready to Chat with Cara?
Open your Study Suite software, find the Ask Cara icon in the lower-right of the screen, and ask your first question. Whether you’re brushing up on clinical nutrition or prepping for a mock exam, Cara is here to help—smarter, faster, and always exam-focused.
