Coming soon
One lesson today? Let’s go.
Sound familiar?
You’ll open AI for all of these.
Essay due tonight. Page still blank.
AI explained it. Could you, without it?
Three people pasted from ChatGPT. Nobody checked.
Your supervisor wants sources that actually exist.
“So, how do you use AI?”
Your boss wants the report by Friday.
We teach you what to do next, so you come out of it knowing more, not less.

What you learn
Three things we teach
Understand the tool, catch its mistakes, then use it in a way that leaves you better at the work, not just done with it.
Know how it works
Train a model yourself, write prompts for a live AI, and see why it answers the way it does.
Intro to ML, Intro to Deep Learning, Math for ML and Intro to Prompting: 81 hands-on lessons.
Catch it when it’s wrong
AI sounds just as sure when it’s making things up. Learn to spot it, and a 30-second check for what matters.
How AI Answers: ask a real AI about a study that doesn’t exist, and watch what it does.
Use it and still grow
Get the speed without handing over the thinking: hints instead of answers on assignments, your own call on the report.
Study Smarter with AI for school and AI at Work for your job. Join the waitlist to hear when they’re ready.
Lessons are in English for now; Indonesian versions will follow. The tutor already answers in Bahasa Indonesia when you ask in Bahasa Indonesia.
Built to bring you back
It feels like a game. The progress is real.
Streaks, XP, badges and a companion that grows with you, all earned by learning, never by tapping.
A streak and a daily goal
Pick one, two or three lessons a day and watch your week fill in. Miss a day? A streak freeze you earned covers it.
XP for getting it right
Right first time pays more than right eventually, and replays pay only a little. XP measures learning, not tapping.
Review that makes it stick
Questions come back after a day, then three, then a week. The ones you missed come back sooner.
Badges, quests and checkpoints
Three quests a week, 24 badges to earn, and a checkpoint at the end of every unit. Pass it and skip what you already know.
Meet your companions
Two friends who notice when you show up
Ijen keeps your streak
A little spark from the blue fires of Kawah Ijen. Say hi each day and it tells you what’s next. Learn, and it grows from a spark into a crater fire. Miss a day and it’s only sleepy, never sad.
A pet that grows up as you learn
Adopt a kancil, a kucing or a Java sparrow. The crystals you earn in lessons feed it and dress it up, and it grows from an egg into a grown-up. Every lesson you finish also plants a tree, a rice paddy or a home on its island. Every three lessons it sails to a real place in Indonesia, like Danau Toba, and brings back a postcard about something you’ve learned. It talks about your day. Trips can’t be rushed, and it never gets ill.
Two doors
For the essay. For the first job.
The same idea, pointed at whatever’s on your plate right now. Start with one, switch whenever you like.
For assignments & exams
Essays, exams, group projects, skripsi
Learn it. Don’t copy it.
Make AI give you hints and ask you questions instead of handing over answers, so you still know it on the exam, when the AI is switched off.

Why this matters
AI can make you faster.
It can also make you worse.
In a study of nearly a thousand students learning maths, those who practised with a ChatGPT-style AI scored 48% higher on practice problems, then 17% lower on the exam they took without it. A version that gave hints instead of answers largely closed that gap. How you use AI decides whether you learn.
Bastani et al., PNAS, 2025- 01
At school: learn, don’t copy
Make AI quiz you and give hints, so you still know it when the exam comes.
- 02
On the job: faster, and still yours
Hand over the busywork, keep the judgement, and check before it goes out.
- 03
Know when it’s wrong
Learn why AI sounds sure when it isn’t, and a quick check to catch it.
- 04
Know how it works
Train a model yourself, and the tool stops being a black box.
Inside the app
Real lessons, not videos
Every screen here is the app as it is today. You do something in each lesson, and a tutor is there when you get stuck.
Know how it works
Train a model with your thumb
Fit a line to data, catch a model overfitting, and train a small neural network on your phone. Once you’ve done it yourself, AI stops being a black box.
A tutor that won’t do it for you
Ask the moment you’re stuck
Ask in plain words, mid-lesson. The tutor is never given the answer to the question you’re on, so it points you to the idea instead of handing it over. It says so up front, too: AI can be wrong.
One thing a day
Open it and know what to do
The home screen puts one finishable session in front of you, next to your streak, today’s goal and Ijen, who tells you what’s next.
