Re: Solveit – A course and platform for solving problems with code
#2Hi all - Jeremy Howard from Answer.AI here. Really excited to share with you all what we've learned over the past year about how to work with AI in a way that's entirely human-centered.
Whilst most folks seem focused on how to remove humans from the loop entirely and make AIs do all the work, we've concentrated 100% on how to make humans part of the loop in a way that makes us more and more capable and engaged.
I've enjoyed building and using our tool, "solveit", for the last year, and do basically all my coding, writing, reading, research, etc in it nowadays. I use small fast iterative steps and work to maximize my learning at each step.

#3Hey everyone, Eric Ries here. solveit is the AI environment I personally have been using every day for months, not just for code but for writing and research, too.
it’s solved all the problems and frustrations I’ve had with both vibecoding and the limitations of the chatbot interface for doing deep work that requires concentration + the ability to understand the artifacts you are producing
and, as a special bonus, people in this course will get a sneak preview of the new book I’m working on. we’re going to use it both to teach some of the concepts from it (on how to create mission-driven long-term companies) and how to use solveit for longform writing projects
happy to answer any questions here, for folks that want to learn more,
Eric

I'm slightly confused. From your comment I expected an AI chat tool, but solveit appears to be more a class?

#5I see a $400 price tag on a five week course. If it takes 5 weeks to learn how to use your product, I am skeptical that it has legs.
Side note: supposedly this is the first cohort of this course, so how do you already have testimonials?

As the post mentions, a year ago we did a trial of it, and have been working with that group of 1000 users since then.
The course is about a methodology, not a product. It's the ideas Eric Ries and I have been working on for decades. 5 weeks is a crash course that can only touch on the ideas. And it covers learning data structures and algorithms, foundations of web programming, system administration, startup creating, and much more.
It's really a rapid "how do to the solveit way" for a variety of x. Each of those x is likely to become a full course in the future.

It's both! We built a new platform designed to be a good place for using the approach we've designed. So it's a course, plus access to the platform.
Sorry it is a bit confusing tbh!

(For those that don't recognise the name, Eric is the creator of The Lean Startup, and also founded the Long Term Stock Exchange. He's the co-founder of Answer.AI, which has built the solveit platform, and which fast.ai is now part of.)

#9So the antidote to AI fatigue is... more AI?

do you have a video of someone using it?
