Octo is in research preview.
Personalized learning, still improving.
You can use Octo today while we improve its teaching and accuracy. Here is what works, what can go wrong, and how to help.
What you can do with Octo
A personal starting point, lessons that use your context, and help as you learn.
Built for one person at a time
Share your goals and experience. Octo uses them to propose a curriculum you can review before the lessons are written.
Written as you go
Lessons use the context you share during intake and learning. Ask for another explanation or more depth, then review the changes Octo suggests.
A real teaching method underneath
Lessons introduce ideas through scenarios, concrete examples, visuals, and practical exercises. A tutor helps you work through questions in the lesson.
What Octo is for, today
Use Octo to explore a topic and practice new skills. Check important information against reliable sources before acting on it.
What Octo is for
- Levelling up at work in fields like AI engineering, product management, marketing, sales, design
- Preparing for industry certifications like AWS, Salesforce, PMP, Google Cloud, and the rest
- Getting up to speed in a new role, with a class built around the job in front of you
- Getting your bearings in an unfamiliar field before going deeper with primary sources
- Picking up a habit around a topic you keep meaning to learn
What Octo is not for
- Clinical, legal, or safety-critical decisions
- Situations where being wrong has real consequences for someone else
- Replacing a primary source like vendor docs, statutes, papers, or your codebase
How we work on accuracy
Sources, checks, and learner feedback help us improve. They do not guarantee that every answer is correct.
Exam-shaped certification courses
For a certification, Octo works from the official exam outline and weights chapters to what gets tested, so what you study maps to the exam.
Automated checks on every lesson
Every lesson is checked before it reaches you, for leaked instructions and other obvious failures. The non-obvious ones we rely on you to flag.
Sources you can check
Octo lists every page it read for your course, and only links a page it actually read. Checking a claim against the original is one click away.
Improving over time
We review changes and investigate regressions as the product develops.
A real feedback queue
Reports from learners help us find errors and prioritize improvements.
Educators in the loop
Subject experts and curriculum designers help us improve how ideas are taught.
What you might run into
AI-generated lessons can contain errors or miss the level of detail you need.
Hallucinated facts
Confident-sounding claims that are simply wrong.
Stale references
APIs, pricing, tools, or laws that have moved on since the chapter was generated.
Uneven depth
A chapter that skims something you needed, or labours something you already knew.
Pictures that get it wrong
A drawn picture or diagram that misreads its own lesson, or renders oddly on your device.
Formatting glitches
Repeated phrases, truncated sentences, or the narrator losing the thread for a paragraph.
Bring your judgement, then tell us
Use the lessons to build understanding. Verify important claims with an original source, especially before making decisions about health, money, or a production system.
