Refining My Vision: Personalized Micro Learning
Starting a new startup often feels like navigating an unexplored jungle—numerous paths with no clear direction. This is the essence of the Idea Maze. Navigating pathways, exploring options, and narrowing down to what is realistic given what I know about the market and technology capabilities.
My project began as an AI-powered “learning journal.” After 2.5 weeks pressing on this vision, I’m now refining it and imagining something much more transformative.
My core principle in building this startup is to start with what I want. I’m building something for me and I believe if I can make me happy as a user I can find enough people like me to make a business.
What I want is a faster way to learn—an AI that I can simply tell, “I want to master X,” and watch as it crafts a customized, adaptive learning pathway for me.
While AI can recommend resources today, I want to go further. My vision is an AI that builds a micro course designed for real internalization, integrating key learning science principles like testing and spaced repetition.
Here’s the difference: This AI doesn’t just suggest content. It delivers micro-lessons that adapt to my progress, pushing me to deepen my understanding. If I excel, it increases the challenge. If I struggle, it reinforces the fundamentals.
The refined vision: a personalized micro course creator that breaks down complex topics into manageable daily lessons—allowing me to master concepts without sidelining my other responsibilities.
For example, right now, I want to use this tool to master Llama Index, a framework for working with LLMs. My AI tutor could pull from sources like the Llama Index docs to create micro-lessons, guiding me through concepts, principles, and API usage examples.
This isn’t a learning journal—it’s an online course disruptor. I’m building a better way to learn for the busy knowledge worker.
Online courses are a waste of time. They’re too generalized. With AI, we’re moving past a world of one to many generalized learning. The future is highly personalized, micro learning that adapts to our progress.
I’m building this future. Thanks for following along.
