Thanks! Yea the watch button should do that, we added 14.01 before that feature but will fix asap.

And yea probably thinking to do a guiding mode (as you said, often better to have the tutor guide you through step-by-step instead of giving you the answer right away) and a straightforward answer mode for the tutor. Or if you have any other ideas.

Yea he's awesome! We just launched another official course with him yesterday haha (https://miyagilabs.ai/course/taxonomy-and-plant-id)

It's currently run on gpt-4o with some prompting guardrails, but I wouldn't trust it completely for younger (elementary school age) children.

Most of our courses are built for a slightly older age range, but we'd consider rolling out more beginner courses that are geared towards younger children and have more safety tests. If you have any thoughts let us know!

Thanks! We'd love to chat if you have any ideas or want to share your experience, we think Coursera is great. And yea totally understand the blue chip edtech thing, we're pretty excited to be a startup in this space.

Happy to help and chat if it helps --> my username at donobu dot com

Great points. Definitely will improve the section lectures on the left, some formatting stuff to think about with the bottom section/transcript as well.

Not completely sure about the AI tutor points though. I don't think the standard AI chat interface is the ideal form factor for the average person trying to learn something, and there's value in having pre-generated content that users can see instead of having to actively go to the tutor.

Also, a lot of people do like using flashcards specifically to learn! Granted, our current implementation is pretty barebones so it's not super useful yet. And definitely agree that things can be cleaned up quite a bit.

For now we only use the YouTube transcript because for most educational content we've found it does about as well for lower cost.

We may make that an option though, since we also offer other resource types (pdf, slides, docs) -> course.

How about comments? Have you tested refining comment threads for useful errata or adding key details?

This maybe doesn't matter as much in the content you're processing now, but see my reply to sibling comment here, where it matters a lot for these niche videos where the creator did not mention or did not know about some important detail of a process or task.

We'll reach out and hopefully add some courses! Thanks.

Lol yea not just poaching, we do revenue sharing (signed deals with a bunch of top creators). They get the majority of all revenue from courses.

For instance we worked directly with Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't & Faculty of Khan etc. to get official courses that they also had input in, and 3Blue1Brown is on board with us having his content on our site.

Thanks! We do have multiple choice questions now (agreed) but some of the older courses were generated when there were only short answer.

Anything specific we could improve about talking to the tutor? Definitely will add some of those features and gamify better.

Maybe give the tutor some personality or persona (having it speak as the instructor). I’m probably off base with that suggestion, though.

Again, very cool idea. I'm going to try some of the nuclear courses later this week.

Best of luck!

Please don't, or at least don't without a looooooooooot of behind-closed-doors trial and error. There are few things more off-putting then an AI try-hard "i am a quirky hooman with quirky hooman personality traits".

Sorry we're running into some rate limits with course generation but will be fixed soon. Valid points—will respond in a bit.
