What do you want to learn this week?
Tell codeset what you want to build or be able to do. It plans the route and tutors you one on one until you can.
Free to start · no card needed
How a course goes
By the end, you can do it without the tutor.
The obvious question
Why not just ask ChatGPT?
For a one-off question, go and do that. The difference shows up over weeks, when you need to finish something and still be able to do it yourself afterwards.
| A general chatbot | codeset | |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Whatever you think to ask | A route to your goal, in order |
| The goal | Whatever you asked last | Yours, in your words, with what done means |
| What it sees | Text you paste in | The work you actually did |
| Progress means | The conversation continued | Lesson checks you passed, at 70% or more |
| Checks | Nothing you have to pass | One at the end of every lesson, done without help |
| Skipping ahead | Counts the same as knowing it | Allowed, and marked as not checked yet |
| What you end up with | A transcript you'll never reread | The thing you built, and the syllabus behind it |

The thing you built, and the syllabus behind it
The things you'd ask before signing up.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing to start. Every account gets 2,000 free credits, worth about forty lessons, or a goal of your own and its first twenty-five lessons or so, with no card and no trial clock. Past that, plans start at $14 a month, and the pricing page shows what a credit buys before you spend one.
- Which languages can I learn?
- Programming languages and software engineering topics are what it knows best, but it is not limited to them. Tell the tutor what you want to be able to do and it plans a route for it, then writes the first lesson while you wait, about a minute. It costs up to 600 credits from the same free balance every account starts with, and if you cancel the goal before opening its first lesson, all of it comes back.
- Will it just hand me the answer?
- It's built not to. When you get stuck it looks for the thing you've misunderstood and teaches that instead of pasting in a fix. It isn't flawless at this, but it's what the whole tutor is tuned around.
- Do I have to install anything?
- No. Lessons run in the browser. The editor, terminal, and files open when a lesson needs you to write code. A refresher does not open an editor.
- How much time does it take?
- One lesson at a time, and it holds your place exactly. Come back a week later and the tutor picks up mid-thought instead of asking you to explain your project again.
- What's still rough?
- It's early. Some courses go deeper than others, the tutor gets things wrong now and then, and the coding workspace still needs a laptop, though lessons and the tutor work on a phone. You'd be an early user, with everything that means.
