I’m excited to announce the early access release of ibtidai — an AI-driven learning studio built for anyone who wants to develop deep, lasting understanding of complex topics.

What is ibtidai?

ibtidai is a general-purpose learning platform that is particularly well-suited for fields that demand continuous, self-directed skill building — think game development, machine learning, electronics, music production, or any discipline where no clean curriculum exists.

Structured long-term learning

  • Start with a broad learning goal and let the system decompose it into a coherent sequence of focused lectures
  • The platform dynamically adapts the learning path based on your interests and learning behavior — what you master quickly, where you struggle, and what needs revisiting

Adaptive spaced repetition

  • Each lecture is followed by targeted questions
  • The system tracks mastery per concept and schedules repetition rounds to reinforce weak areas over time
  • A knowledge graph and mastery map give you a visual overview of your progress

Source-grounded content

  • Lectures are generated with web grounding, and source links are provided so you can verify content and explore further
  • Grounding quality varies by how well-documented a topic is — popular technical fields tend to work best

Bring your own model

  • ibtidai works with the LLM provider of your choice: OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, Groq, and more
  • All you need is an API key — setup takes seconds and full cost control stays in your own provider account
  • With efficient models such as Claude Haiku, a full day of lecture generation typically costs only cents

Try it

Early access is open at https://ibtidai.netlify.app

Feedback is very welcome — especially on lecture quality, source relevance, and whether the adaptive learning path feels useful for your specific domain.
