The teaching layer that explains every line your AI coding agent writes

Real-time learning cards

Every line your agent writes is explained as it happens, covering what the code does, why it was written that way and the intended goal, in the same window.

Works with any AI agent

A VS Code extension brings the teaching layer to Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cline, Kilo Code, Windsurf, Antigravity and more without changing your agent.

Four agent modes

Plan, Fast, Deep and Recursive modes let you propose before writing, iterate quickly, reason deeply, or let the recursive agent plan multi-step work.
