    Hey HN! I’m excited to show you my app that lets you learn any topic in a structured, bite-sized way. Each lesson has an audio version, some visuals, and interactive quizzes. They’re personalized to your background and goals, and you can pick a concept inside a lesson and ask it to go deeper. When my co-founder was at NotebookLM, he realized the biggest bottlenecks in learning are that people don’t have time or feel like they’re not smart enough. We wanted to see if software can take the mental load of figuring out what resources to use and what order to learn them in, and make lessons easy…

    Hello Hacker News, When learning foreign languages, I made the most progress by speaking them throughout the day, every day. So I made a site where you can *speak* to an AI language teacher to practice both listening and speaking. # The product *What I have now:* * Multilingual speech recognition: You can ask a question in English and get an answer in your target language. * Feedback on your grammar. * Suggestions: See examples of what to say next to keep the conversation flowing. * Speed: Choose a lower speed for beginners or a faster one for advanced levels. * Translations: Click to see a…

    An exciting aspect of what I'm working on is that users can create their own playlists. For example, you can provide an outline of what you're learning, such as notes from your professor or any other structure, and the pipeline will create a course tailored to that. Since the content is highly customized, it will be relevant and high-quality, matching current lessons or lectures in school or university. Initially, the pipeline also generated some teaching content using AI, but due to the risk of AI hallucinations, I'm planning to pivot away from that. The new focus will be on curating…

    Hi! I'm living as an expat in France and I had a hard time following the news. So I've been working on Fluentsubs that turns YouTube content into a language learning experience. YouTube videos up to 20 minutes can be transcribed and listened to. At the same time I made it easy to lookup certain words and automatically add spaced repetition cards using the given context. This means that you can also rehearse with a real voice and not with AI dubs. This works especially well for the somewhat smaller languages that have a small track on Duolingo, and now are desperately looking for content…

    Hey all, I’ve been working on a project that aims to change how we approach learning new skills. The idea is simple — you can master any skill in 30 days using a personalized learning plan powered by AI and Notion. They keys: practice and discipline. How it works: You can fill out a Typeform, and our AI will create a customized 30-day program just for you. Structured learning: Each day, the system provides you with a clear task or lesson based on science-backed learning principles. Track progress: It’s all managed in Notion, so you can stay organized and motivated while learning. Why I built…

    As an engineer I get frustrated at other training courses that talk a lot of theory, but don't have a lot of practical advice and tools to actually help. So, I built an online self-paced training course on difficult conversations (think feedback, salary negotiation, etc) that I wanted to share with the community. I like to make my training courses more "algorithmic." A process you can follow to approach a Difficult Conversation, get in the right mindset to tackle it, and prepare what you need to that allows you to do it well. This course will teach you: - What Difficult Conversations are and…

    Hi HN, For 4 years I've worked on the psychology of learning following a CompSci degree with an AI minor from back in 2019. I love the future of effective learning that is coming. This is a way for you to study for specific exams, lectures and videos. You upload your content, and get specific, citing flashcard exercises delivered in a fun way. Not only can you view the timestamp in the video that a question was generated from, for example, but your answers are used to inform a "Compilation stage". The Compilation stage uses your choices of answers (and wrong answers), as well as data on when…

    Hi HN, I built didacu because I kept bookmarking articles and tutorials I never read. The friction of learning something new hasn't kept up with the speed of everything else. You type what you want to learn. You get an interactive course in seconds with slides, quizzes, images, and cited sources. You can also drop in a PDF or image and it turns it into a course. The courses are designed around short-form slides you swipe through, one concept at a time. No walls of text. Quizzes are woven in so you're testing yourself as you go, not just passively reading. There's a Claude Code skill…
