The Learning page helps you organise what you want to learn. Each topic (for example “Japanese”) collects resources such as courses, books, articles, videos and podcasts, and tracks your progress and the time you spend studying. Open it from AI › Learning.

There are 4 tabs at the top: Topics, Courses, Today and Progress.

  2. Enter a Title, Category, Target date and Description (what do you want to learn?)
  3. Choose an Icon and a Colour, then click Save

A topic’s Status can be changed to in progress, paused or completed.

Read courses written by agents

The Courses tab collects courses that agents have written for you, split into short chapters. Some chapters end with a quiz.

  1. Ask an agent to write a course, for example “An intro course on Docker, in short chapters, with diagrams and quizzes”. The agent must first be given permission to write courses, on the Agents page
  2. Open the course and click Start the first chapter. Use Previous and Next to move between chapters
  3. In a chapter with a quiz, answer the questions and click Check my answers. You need 70% to have passed; if you don’t pass, click Try again
