Orbit is StudentVerse's new AI companion — built for campus life, not generic chat. In this beta we are testing how it finds deals, explains spending, and answers quick questions without leaving the app. This guide walks through what Orbit can do today, what is still learning, and how to get the most out of it.

Chapter 1

WHAT ORBIT IS (AND ISN'T)

Orbit is a campus-tuned assistant, not a search engine. It knows StudentVerse partners, your saved preferences, and common student workflows — so it can answer 'where can I print near AUD for under AED 5' in one go.

Knows StudentVerse partners, prices and redeem steps
Remembers your campus and preferences
Answers in one go, not a list of links
Not a generic web search — campus-first

Chapter 2

FINDING DEALS FASTER

Ask in plain language — 'cheap cafe near DSO with student discount' — and Orbit surfaces the best match, opening hours, and how to redeem. No filters to fiddle with.

Try 'cheap cafe near DSO with student discount'
Add campus: 'near AUD', 'in DSO', 'around Al Barsha'
Ask for hours: 'open now until 10pm'
Ask how to redeem: 'how do I Flash this?'

Chapter 3

PLANNING & BUDGETING HELP

Orbit can summarise where your money went this month and suggest swaps — like printing at the campus hub instead of a mall kiosk — before you overspend.

QUICK TIP

Ask 'where did I overspend last month?' — Orbit groups by food, transport and printing and suggests one swap to try next month.
