Agreed. An always-on agent focused solely on improving your knowledge/skills could ask you questions daily, build a picture of the gaps in your understanding and learn where to push you next.

I'm experimenting with this at https://miletus.app

I'm also curious about training models with that singular goal. If anyone is exploring similar ideas, I'd love to chat.

How can you source or generate a curriculum graph (similar to what math academy does)?

It seems to me that it would be cool if that could be solved automatically for any learning goal/target

		I started with a curated backbone across several fields, drafted with frontier models and reviewed by hand. The automatic (and fun) part happens when you pick a goal and a quest gets generated with its own prerequisites, mapped onto that backbone. It's def not as robust as Math Academy's graph yet, they spent years hand-building and testing it on real students. But I bet a few more iterations of frontier models get there, especially once there's learner data to correct it.

How do you handle the 'people often learn through repetition' problem?
