Why not just use ChatGPT?

A general chatbot doesn't know CLiP. CLIP does.

ChatGPT is trained on the whole internet and will happily invent a drug dose or a referral rule. CLIP's brain is tuned for one job: getting you through UK pre-registration optometry.

A general AI chatbot

  • Trained on the whole internet — not the CLiP curriculum
  • Can confidently invent drug doses, referral rules and “facts”
  • No UK-specific guidance, exam structure or competencies
  • No practice questions, spaced repetition or progress tracking
  • You can’t tell what’s right without checking it yourself

CLIP

Tuned for CLiP
  • Purpose-built and tuned for the UK CLiP scheme
  • Grounded in NICE, NHS and College of Optometrists guidance — audited, not guessed
  • Mapped to the real competencies, visits and exam format
  • Exam-style MCQs, flashcards and 3D anatomy in one place
  • Tracks your accuracy and shows exactly what to revise next
