About ChaitanyaSai

We run a microschool in Mumbai. https://playbook.comini.in/ Along the way,we ended up building a microschoolOS to help run everything. We are, essentially, an AI-native microschool where the AI is invisible.

We wrote a book explaining Consciousness - Journey of the Mind: How Thinking Emerged from Chaos https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Mind-Thinking-Emerged-Chaos/dp/1324006579/

I write here https://saigaddam.medium.com/ and here https://blog.comini.in/

    That's interesting, thanks for sharing. Can you please share a specific example of what you describe? Does the student stop asking why after a while?

    I don't understand any of the math here, but I had two thoughts. Soon we'll have explainer agents that translate these according to my level so I can, with effort and interest, fol…

    Congratulations on the launch! How do you solve for "meaning?" Is there some implicit expectation that kids arrive with motivation to discover meaning, or some extrinsic rewards? A…

    The thing I do not understand here because it seems obvious: AI will be a commodity market and you simply cannot have a large PE multiple. So the valuations imagine a global commod…

    One man's filler is another's phatic communication (if done well and not to pad)

    I run a microschool and also teach maths there. I love this essay, and book, but by focusing on maths as art, it focuses on only one aspect of meaning. The larger issue with the wa…

    Agree, and it's hard to think about fixing education in isolation. But we've got to start somewhere to fix the meaning void. Easiest first step is to not take play away.

    Lovely site! Did you start this pre-AI? One issue with AI answers that will likely persist is data staleness. Having a site like this would help users find the "source" and ask act…
