about superlearn

We're building a tool for you to learn anything. To search the bounds of human knowledge & figure things out for you. Agentic learning. Built for the best.

Our Vision

1. Source → Learning Goals → Customizable Curriculum

  • AI scans the source material (e.g., this neuroscience paper).
  • Generates a "Learning Goals" map: "By the end, you'll understand…" (e.g., vapor self-administration, reinforcement schedules, sex differences in addiction, experimental design).
  • Organizes as a navigable curriculum tree/graph (NOT just linear) that users can:
    • Expand for details ("What's a fixed ratio?")
    • Collapse/hide less relevant branches
    • Reorder, bookmark, or request new goals ("Add 'neurobiological basis of reinforcement'")

2. Concept Map, Not Just a Linear Path

  • Clickable, web-like map: Every topic/node can be clicked to:
    • Zoom in ("Deep Dive: Preclinical animal models")
    • Zoom out ("How does this fit into addiction science?")
    • Jump to related nodes ("THC vapor in rats" → "THC metabolism in humans")
  • Contextual breadcrumbs: Always see "where you are" and "how you got here."

3. Dynamic, On-Demand Deep Dives

  • Every node has:
    • Core summary
    • Links to primary sources or figures
    • Option for "Explain Like I'm 5", "Show Details", or "Give Me a Real-World Example"
  • Optional "See context"/"See prerequisites": ("Wait, what is 'operant conditioning'? → Click to drill down")

4. Active Practice & Feedback

  • Micro-quizzes: After any concept, try a 2-question check ("What does FR5 mean?").
  • Socratic prompts: "Why do you think pre-exposure mattered for the rats?"
  • Instant feedback: Not just right/wrong, but:
    • Detailed correction, hints, or explanation
    • Scaffolded follow-up if you get stuck

5. Cross-Linking & Transfer

  • Every concept cross-references:
    • Other uploaded sources ("SSA in this compiler paper" ↔ "SSA in this superoptimizer paper")
    • General foundational knowledge ("SSA" node links to a general "Compiler Concepts" topic)
  • Allows transfer: See how a concept works in other contexts or fields.

6. Interface and UX

  • Main screen: Interactive concept map (nodes = concepts, edges = dependencies/relationships).
  • Click node: Side panel pops up with summary, quiz, "deeper dive," links to paper, and related concepts.
  • Navigation bar: "Home," "My Learning Goals," "Bookmarks," "Recent Activity."
  • Feedback panel: AI comments on your answers in real time, with suggested resources or next steps.
  • User controls: Search bar, progress tracker, export options, history/back button, meta-layer to see your learning journey.

Current State

What we have now: Text → Curriculum. But it doesn't generate the curriculum well - and not entirely in the cloud either! We'll probably need to change that, so that it can run agents well.

We want to build something that takes a paper & analyzes it. The best fit for that is probably Gemini!

Future Functionality

  • Create a new space
  • Upload files to it → The AI will run over it & you'll get your results
  • You can leave the page, even

Minimum Viable Agent Set (for MVP)

If you want to launch a prototype, focus first on:

  1. Source Analysis Agent
  2. Curriculum Designer Agent
  3. Interactive Tutor Agent
  4. Assessment & Personalization Agent

Add the Deep Dive and Meta-Map agents as you scale.

Example Interaction: All Agents in Action

  • User uploads a paper → Source Analysis Agent breaks it down
  • Curriculum Designer Agent proposes a concept map/learning path
  • Interactive Tutor Agent begins teaching, adapting based on student interaction
  • Assessment Agent gives micro-quizzes and tracks understanding
  • If user gets stuck, Deep Dive Agent jumps in
  • Meta-Map Agent lets the user see their knowledge network and progress
