I believe this was in a pre-AI world. With AI you don't expect developers to dig through thousands of websites to find out why something isn't working. I will just ask ChatGPT because it saves me time. In the context of learning, students usually look at answers directly because they don't have a lot of other options currently. with Edmigo, we're trying to give them hints instead of telling them the answer directly so they can learn to solve on their own.

I totally agree that passive learning is not useful. So Edmigo uses a hands-on learning approach where students solve problems on their own alongside an AI guide

Interesting points. but not very student can afford or has access to group studies or human tutors right?

Agreed. But LLMs are pretty good at answering questions and helping students understand concepts from fixed datasets ie. courses. That is what we're trying to achieve at Edmigo

I feel Programming is more about learning how to think and break problems down in smaller parts. That skill should always be useful

Yeah this is something we also experimented with. We realized we needed to configure the LLM for very specific use cases for it to work as expected

We have provided LLMs with reference materials we created ourselves. Additionally we are running validators to check the output. I agree that the LLM will still not be 100% accurate but it should work pretty well

We have high quality materials that the learner's can learn from, very similar to CS50. The LLM is there to resolve doubts and help learners if stuck which is currently impossible to do with static resources like CS50. Thoughts?

Very valid points. We've controlled these issues by providing content which we created ourselves and running other pipelines to validate the tutor's answers

We're starting with DSA. But we are planning to expand to other programming concepts soon

We've tried to fix these issues with Edmigo. You can give it a try!
sayonidroy

Haha! That's an interesting way to look at it

Thanks for the feedback

Agreed! That's why Edmigo is backed by content we hand-crafted

we totally agree that AI giving you coding solutions doesn't help. So Edmigo never provides solutions unless explicitly requested. Instead it gives hints to help learners think

Oh! Can you please share the error?

Online courses have stayed the same for decades. You read blogs, watch videos and you learn. That's it! But god forbid if you have a doubt --- brace yourself to sift through endless comments and discussions.

We at Edmigo deeply believe that this should change!

So, we've built an AI-tutor powered comprehensive DSA course at edmigo.in

In addition to quality materials, you get a personal tutor that can resolve all your unique doubts and help you code in LeetCode.

This is our first attempt to figure out if we can simplify online education. If you also believe that learning should not be this difficult, please check Edmigo out and give us some feedback.

Thanks :)
