  1. Your starting point

    Tell Octo what you want to learn.

    Start with a skill, a project, or a question. Octo asks about your goal and experience to find a useful starting point. You don’t need to know what to study first.

    • Start with your goal

      Describe what you want to be able to do, whether it’s for your work, your next role, or your own curiosity.

    • Build on your experience

      Share what you know and where you get stuck. Octo uses that context to shape what you learn.

    • Bring your own material

      Add notes, documents, or examples to connect the course to the problem in front of you.

    Sam’s AI course · Sample conversation

    Octo

    What would you like to build with AI?

    Sam

    I'm Sam, a web developer. I want to understand how AI works and build my first AI product: a support assistant people can rely on.

    Octo

    What do you already know, and where do you feel stuck?

  2. The path ahead

    Review a course built around you.

    Octo turns the conversation into a plan of chapters and lessons. See what you’ll learn, how the ideas connect, and where they lead before the lessons are written.

    • Know what comes next

      Follow a sequence from the foundations to using the skill, without having to piece the path together yourself.

    • Focus on what you need

      Check the depth and starting point. Ask for more foundations or more advanced material to suit your experience.

    • Make the plan yours

      Ask Octo to add, remove, or reorder lessons. Confirm the curriculum when it fits your goal.

    YOUR LEARNING PATH

    Understand what changes during training and what happens in a request.

    1. Training changes the model. Context guides the answer
    2. An answer grows one token at a time
    3. How attention connects the context

  3. Ideas that connect

    Learn one idea at a time.

    Once you approve the plan, Octo writes lessons around your goal and starting point. Concrete examples, visuals, and practice help you connect each new idea to the last.

    • Connect new ideas to familiar ones

      Start with a situation you can picture, so an abstract concept has something concrete to connect to.

    • See how the pieces fit

      Diagrams, worked examples, and tables make relationships easier to follow. A short exercise helps you check your understanding.

    • Learn at your own pace

      Highlight useful passages, revisit an earlier lesson, or continue when you’re ready. Your progress is saved.

    Training changes the model. Context guides the answer.

    Chapter 2 · Lesson 1 of 3

    Training changes the model. Context guides the answer.

    5 min readLesson excerpt

    Your assistant gives the wrong refund window. You paste in the current policy, and it answers correctly. Did it just learn your company's policy permanently?

    Select the passage to highlight it.

    Try it: the refund policy changes tomorrow. Does the model need retraining?

    Think it through, then reveal

    No. Supply the new policy in the next request, then check the answer against it. Updated context gives the model fresh information; it doesn’t change its learned weights.

  4. Help along the way

    Get help without losing your place.

    When something doesn’t make sense, ask Octo beside the lesson. The conversation stays connected to what you’re reading, so you can work through the question and carry on.

    • Ask about the exact passage

      Select the part you mean and ask your question. You don’t have to explain the whole lesson again.

    • Find another way to understand

      Request a simpler explanation, a different analogy, or a worked example. Follow up on whatever is still unclear.

    • Connect it to your own work

      Ask how the idea applies to your situation, so you can see what to do with what you’ve learned.

    Chapter 2 · Lesson 1 of 3

    Training changes the model. Context guides the answer.

    Your assistant gives the wrong refund window. You paste in the current policy, and it answers correctly. Did it just learn your company's policy permanently?

    Training changes the model’s learned weights.

    Supplying a policy in a request gives the model information to use. It doesn’t retrain the model.

    In Sam’s support assistant

    Question + policySame trained model

    New information for this answer. The learned weights stay the same.

    Ask Octo

    Here with you, in this lesson

    Which part would you like to unpack?

    Select a sentence in the lesson. Bring your question here.

  5. Room to go deeper

    Shape the course as you learn.

    Sometimes an answer reveals something else you need to learn. Octo can suggest a clearer explanation in the current lesson or a new lesson for more depth. You choose what changes.

    • Improve the lesson you’re in

      Ask for an example or explanation to be added where you need it, ready to revisit later.

    • Make room to go deeper

      Turn a follow-up question into a focused lesson that fits into your existing curriculum.

    • Approve every change

      Review Octo’s suggestion before applying it. Keep the course moving toward the goal you care about.

    Sam

    Does my app need to send the policy with every question?

    Octo

    The relevant passage needs to be in the request’s context. Your app can retrieve that passage from your docs, then send it with the question.
