I am seeing a lot of skepticism on this thread.

While I agree that this approach to learning (with a bot) may not be a good fit for everyone, I am absolutely sure it can be for some.

I don't see the harm in exploring this path.

This is not like education was a solved problem, it is extremely wasteful, inconsistent and costly.

I think there is a path for more projects/interest based, less competitive and more individually tailored learning system when we remove all the constraints attached to a classroom and teachers, many of them being incompetent or miserable.



The goal is to get closer to what a tutor can do, and it has been proved that tutoring by experts is by far the most efficient education system, the only problem is it does not scale.
