Your own audio course, in your podcast app

Name a subject and Gnothi writes a course on it, one narrated chapter at a time. Each chapter runs about half an hour and shows up in your podcast app, so you learn by listening on a walk, a drive or the dishes.

Take it straight, as a course, or carried inside a story you want to keep hearing. It keeps a syllabus of what it has taught you, so chapter twelve builds on chapter eleven.

How a course works

Pick a subject, choose segments, subscribe. Rust, sourdough, the Peloponnesian War, Claude Code: subjects like these work well.

A syllabus that remembers

Every subject gets a syllabus tree, and each item records the date a chapter covered it. You can read it and edit it to skip ahead or go back, and the next chapter won't circle over ground it already taught.

Lessons that read the source

Turn on research for a lesson and it searches the web before writing. Paste a URL into it, such as a syllabus or the docs you work from, and that page is read first. Only the lesson's brief goes out with the search.

Try It, then the next chapter

Teach Me shows the next thing to grasp in use. Try It gives you one concrete thing to do before the next chapter. Write a line about how it went, and the chapter after picks it up.

On your schedule

Make the next chapter when you want it, or set a daily, weekly, biweekly or monthly cadence and let new chapters arrive in the feed.

Story-based learning

A story that teaches

Same subjects, same syllabus. The lessons happen in the plot.

If a straight course isn't what keeps you listening, put the lessons in a world instead: a cyberpunk thriller, a fantasy campaign, a slow-burn mystery. Each lesson is marked literal, adapted or metaphorical before a word is written, and ordinary education leans literal, so a cyberpunk founder learning Claude Code still hears Claude Code named. The lessons can take at most 60% of a chapter, so the story always keeps at least 40%.

The first customer

A founder brings a dazzling demo to a noodle shop just as lunch goes wrong.

Building a business

Nia's sales demo filled the noodle shop with holographic koi. They swam through the steam, arranged themselves into revenue charts, and passed straight through a delivery rider who was shouting about the missing dumplings. Nobody looked at a single chart.

Behind the counter, Sol lifted an empty bamboo steamer. “Can your fish warn me before this happens?” Nia swept three weeks of beautiful dashboards off the display. Her agent checked the stock sheet and prepared a rush order. It could draft the purchase; only Nia could send it.

She corrected the quantity, tapped Send, and pulled up a much smaller demo: tomorrow's shortages, before the lunch rush. Sol leaned over to read it. For the first time all morning, he stopped shouting. One forgotten koi drifted through his head.

Common questions

Is this a microlearning app?

Not in the five-minute-card sense. A chapter runs about half an hour and goes deeper than a flashcard can. The microlearning part is the pace: one chapter at a time, on a cadence you set, in the podcast app you already open on a commute.

How is it different from other AI course generators?

Most AI course creators build slides and modules for you to hand to a class. Gnothi writes chapters for you to listen to, with a title, teaser and show notes, and it keeps going: the syllabus records what each chapter covered, and what you write between chapters steers the next one.

Can I build one for my kid?

Yes. Write the term's topics as the subjects and pick a story for them to follow. It runs on your account, and your kid listens through the feed on a speaker or an old phone without a login.

The full setup, step by step, is in the learning use case.
