I like the concept, thank you for building it. That said.. I'm lost how to use this site and don't think it's really usable as it stands.
Rather than a tutorial/course I arrive at long pages listing dozens of concepts with clearly AI generated language. I have some pre-knowledge, so most is rather clear or at least understandable to me but this is simply neither pleasant to read nor memorable. I'm asked to read a long page that tells me all the things I'm going to learn with 6-8 bullet points what it is and that I can try it on the site. Same language and logic repeated ober and lber. And every page and every section just goes from disjointed concept to disjointed concept and I'm being bombarded with AI-world slang to read and remember (what was zero shot again? Oh right just asking a simple question - do I need that term? Why do I need that term?).
More generally from the >30 minutes I spent so far I am not sure where it's leading me or if this is training me to use the specific site or more generally concepts. I'm in section F4 and still not sure if I'm in the introduction or the course (where's the promised interactive part?). If I get later to the agents part, will I learn to just do it on this site? Somehow I'm also expected to connect my personal API keys... All rather baffling and it doesn't match in any sense or form the AI-generated copy advertising the course and enticing me to sign up. I'm not even sure how to give good feedback as it feels just like an unfinished dump of ideas that hadn't been tested or reread. I'm sure learning all this would be useful but I don't think I can learn it by simply reading a list of 11 "prompting techniques" with an example and use case each. Maybe it's me misunderstanding how to use the site or a layout issue (android/Firefox with ublock).

Thank you for your feedback. It's really important to see the curriculum and what we are trying to achieve from your point of view to identify the gaps. We are trying to make the lessons more navigation friendly and structured and we will insert links to the labs where you can quickly try out the learnt concepts then and there so that you do not forget as you progress. As far content - yes it's AI generated but verified manually after every lesson is generated. We need to adjust the orders and how it's being taught. Please do check out our interview questions section within the lab to get some idea what questions are being asked in case you are preparing for a career change in AI, in that way you will be able to relate to the content more.
Thanks! I think indeed shorter lessons with more interactivity would help a bit. And maybe a bit lighter on the AI summary/introductory sections :-)
Sure we will do that. Thanks a lot!
Looking good but one thing to consider, to a person who doesn't know what agent is, I would update hero section content clearly to display what is the thing you are solving. If you have to scroll down the website why you need this service, then you might be losing users already.
Thanks for the feedback!
This is what I needed. Everytime I got stuck whenever I saw pip install/npm install commands in other courses which did not make much sense for me who wants to get just started playing with agents and learn the basics
Thanks for your feedback. Please let us know how we can improve!
This is incredible. A readily available playground with all the necessary options to try out is game-changing!
Thanks for your feedback!
