When new technologies emerge, they often follow a predictable pattern: first, they're toys; then, they're tools. LLMs have traversed this path faster than most.
At UChicago (where some of us are based), you can observe this transformation in real time. Students everywhere—libraries, coffee shops, campus quads—are engaged in dialogue with their AI companions. What was science fiction five years ago is now mundane reality.
The implications for education are profound. For centuries, we've operated under a fundamental constraint: intelligence was scarce and had to be rationed. This led to the standard model of education: one source of content distributed to many students.
But that constraint has vanished. With LLMs, we now have effectively unlimited intelligence available to almost anyone. At Kojo, we're building for this new reality. We're creating personalized lessons that adapt in real-time to each student's capabilities and goals. The system grows with you, becoming not just a teacher but a true educational co-pilot.
These challenges are an early sneak-peak into what we're building. Every challenge is LLM-generated. We're still in early beta, so expect some rough edges.
