   Thanks! Yea the watch button should do that, we added 14.01 before that feature but will fix asap. And yea probably thinking to do a guiding mode (as you said, often better to have the tutor guide you through step-by-step instead of giving

   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 slightly older age range, but we'd consider rol

   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 the AI tutor points though. I don't think the stand

   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 offer other resource types (pdf, slides, docs) -> cou

   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 course based on some videos.

   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 with Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't & Faculty of Khan e

    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 very open to other metrics if you h

    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 other human supervision + quality control methods you&#x2

    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 talking to the tutor? Definitely will add some of those featu

    Sorry we're running into some rate limits with course generation but will be fixed soon. Valid points—will respond in a bit.

    Yep, if anyone didn't want their videos to be on our site, we would take it down. Just watched the video, I don't initially agree with his take completely but do totally respect the viewpoint and think a payment split to the creat

    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 languages seems a bit different in that there's more focus on

    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 publishing. For self-created courses, it&#x2
