Hi, I'm Neuron, your learning coach. What are you working toward?

Achieve your dreams, one step at a time.

Tell Neuron your goal. Neuron finds what you already know and builds the path from there.

Why it feels hard

You're not bad at it.
You're missing a step.

Everything you learn builds on something you already know. Find where that is, and anything is within reach.

  1. Your line

    Below the line is what you know. Above it is what you don't know yet. Try to learn something too far above your line and nothing makes sense. That isn't you being bad at it. The steps in between are missing.

    NeuronSo we start from what you know, and build up one step at a time.

  2. 01

    Find your line

    Before teaching anything, Neuron asks you a few questions. You start where you are.

    NeuronWho would buy from you, and how would you tell them about it in one line?

  3. 02

    Remember where it is

    Oli keeps a map of everything you've shown you know. Your next session picks up right at your line.

    OliYou know your customer and your message. Next time, we start with social posts.

  4. 03

    Move it up

    Neuron teaches one step above the line, built on what you already hold. You do the thinking. When you're stuck, Neuron asks you a question back.

    NeuronPeople scroll past a hundred posts a day. What would make them stop at yours?

  5. 04

    Keep it from slipping

    Days later, Pyra asks you again. If an idea slipped, it goes back to learning until it holds.

    PyraQuick one, no notes: what makes someone stop scrolling at a post?

  6. 05

    See where it gets you

    Each idea you learn is a step toward your goal. Marketing is one part of starting your business, and Neuron keeps the whole plan in view.

    NeuronMarketing is coming together. Next on the way to your first sale: breaking even.

  7. 06

    What does a lesson look like?

    One step, one lesson

    Breaking even is your next step. Open it and Neuron starts a short lesson, right from your line.

  8. 07

    Does it use my own material?

    It reads your material

    Add slides, a book or notes. Neuron teaches from them and shows you the exact page.

  9. 08

    Can it show me what the lecture showed?

    It shows you the slide

    When a picture explains it best, Neuron cuts it straight from your slides.

  10. 09

    What if I learn by doing?

    Instruments you can use

    Neuron hands you a tool for the idea in front of you. Drag the point, then press Check.

  11. 010

    How do I know I'm getting it?

    Quick checks

    A quick question when that's all it takes. Tap an answer.

  12. 011

    Will I remember it?

    Pyra checks it later

    Days later, Pyra asks again and marks your answer line by line: what's right, what's wrong, and why.

Say your costs are $600 a month, and each sale brings in $12 more than it costs to make.

How many sales before you stop losing money?

Every business has costs it pays whether it sells or not.

Your break-even point is the number of sales where the money coming in equals the money going out.

Below it, you lose money. Above it, each sale is profit.

No notes: what is a break-even point?

You9:15 AM

It's the number of sales where money in equals money out, so you've made a profit.

Answer checkPartly correct
CorrectMoney in equals money out at break-even.
IncorrectAt break-even your profit is zero. Profit starts with the next sale.

The shortcut

The answer was easy.
It just wasn't yours.

You look something up. The explanation is clear, so you nod and move on. Then the moment comes when you need it: on the exam, in the meeting, explaining it to a friend. And it isn't there. You didn't forget it. Someone else did the thinking. Chatbots are built to hand you the answer and keep you coming back. Neuron is built around your goal, so you do the thinking, with help when you're stuck.

Certainly! The Pythagorean theorem is one of the most famous results in all of mathematics. It states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. This is usually written as a² + b² = c², where c represents the hypotenuse and a and b represent the two legs. The theorem is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras, although there is evidence that Babylonian and Indian mathematicians knew the relationship centuries earlier. Hundreds of different proofs exist, including geometric proofs that rearrange squares and algebraic proofs that use similar triangles. The theorem has countless applications in architecture, navigation, physics and computer graphics. Let me break this down step by step with some examples and intuition…

Clear, long, and gone by tomorrow.

Does a²+b²=c² work for every triangle? Which side is c?
