    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 sl…

    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 t…

    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 o…

    I don't think that's true? We're embedding the videos, which is allowed. Also to be clear we have partnerships for all the featured courses. This refers to if a user creates a cour…

    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 wit…

    At this stage it seems like a good metric since it's the creator's content. We're adding a feature for question feedback from users, so they can like/dislike/report questions, but …

    Yes for the first, technically yes for the second? The user can go in and change the content as well (i.e. if it's a teacher generating a course for students). But not sure what ot…

    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 t…

    Thanks, we'll reach out. We have a poker course from MIT ( https://miyagilabs.ai/course/mit15s50 ) but yea these seem more practical & engaging.

    Thanks! Definitely some potential, we actually built a language learning tool for a few days early on (but decided that it was too crowded of a space to start in). Learning languag…

    For official courses, we go over the generated course with the creator to vet the content. Generally they're pretty impressed but have a few things they'd like to change/add before…
