Learn AI
Learn AI writes a structured lesson for you on whatever you want to learn — "Docker networking for a beginner", "build a REST API in Flask and deploy it" — split into chapters, tied to a lab you can practise in, and backed by an AI tutor that knows the lesson.
Open it from Learn → Learn AI in the sidebar, or the Learn AI tile on the home page.
Find a lesson before you make one
The single box at the top does three things, depending on what you type:
| Type | What happens |
|---|---|
| A few words | Searches lessons that already exist |
#tag | Filters lessons by tag, e.g. #linux |
| A description of what you want to learn | Offers to generate a new lesson |
Other people's public lessons are free to read, so search first — someone may already have written what you need.
The tabs below the box sort what exists:
| Tab | Shows |
|---|---|
| For You | Lessons picked for you from your activity — see Recommendations |
| Continue | Lessons you started and have not finished |
| Explore | Everything public |
| Most Liked, Editor Picks, Most Interacted | Popular and staff-selected lessons |
| My Likes, My Lessons, My Syllabi Lessons | Your own lists |
Filter any tab by level: All Levels, Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced.
Generate a lesson
- In the box, describe what you want to learn.
- Pick a level.
- Confirm. Generating a lesson costs 25 Jolt, shown before you confirm. If your balance is too low, the button tells you so and nothing is charged.
- Carry on with something else. When the lesson is ready you get a Lesson Created notification.
The info button beside the box opens the Learn AI Usage Guide. The short version: say what you already know, what you want to be able to do, and a project you want to build. If you want to practise in a ready-made environment, mention it — for example the Essentials lab.
A weak request: "Python". A strong one: "I know basic Python. I want to build a small web API with Flask, store data in PostgreSQL, and deploy it on my Essentials lab."
The lesson page

Lesson pages can be read without signing in, so you can share a link with anyone.
AI Assist — a tutor for this lesson
Each lesson has its own AI chat. It starts locked:
AI Assist is Locked — 25 ⚡️ Jolt
Unlock it once per lesson (a one-time payment) and the Ask AI box opens. The tutor knows the lesson's content, so you can ask "why does chapter 3 use a volume here?" without explaining the context.
While you chat, meters above the box show how much of the conversation the AI can hold (Context window), and a Token history dialog breaks down each exchange, including how many actions the assistant took in your lab, such as commands and file operations.

Reveal Cost: 1 Jolt. Revealing shows the original prompt used to generate the lesson. Once revealed you can view it again for free. It is a good way to learn how to write better requests.
