Bring it or ask for it. Axo builds the rest.
Two doors into the same loop. Whatever you start with, you end with a Path of four units and sixteen Bites, a finish line, and a review that keeps it.
Door one. Bring your own.
For the onboarding doc, the 40-page research dump, the class PDF the whole study group needs, the book everyone keeps quoting. Axo restructures what you give it. It never invents. Invite a friend to the Path and you learn it side by side.
Add your material.
Paste any length of text, or add a file: a PDF, an ePub, a text or Markdown file, a link to an article, or photos of pages. Or name a book, and Axo researches it. Up to 30,000 words per Path; longer becomes a series, one Path per part.
Axo reads it and tells you what it found.
A reading checklist, not a spinner. A scanned PDF or a photo is read page by page; a photo too blurry to read is named on the spot, never buried.
Pick a reading level.
Plain, Standard or Technical, with a line from your own material at each level so you can hear the difference. The wording changes. The facts never do.
A source-cited outline.
Four units, each with the page or paragraph it came from, and the way Axo will teach it: steps for a procedure, situations for people skills, the slip to spot for grammar.
Bite 1, with its sources.
Every read and every question carries the page or paragraph it came from. Nothing is added that isn’t in your files.

Ask Axo
What do you want to know, and by when?
Enough NBA to keep up with my friends. Game’s Friday.
Got it. Casual fan, about two hours. Your Path is ready.
NBA, enough for Friday
4 units · 16 Bites · about 2 hours. Taught as rules and what applies.
Door two. Build me a course.
For the thing your friends keep talking about, the job you start Monday, the topic you’ve been meaning to understand for years.
Say what you want and by when.
“Enough NBA to hold my own on Friday.” Axo asks why you are learning and how much you already know, then three to five quick questions pin down what you actually want.
Axo checks the ask.
A one-fact question gets its answer on the spot, not a course. A phrase that names a book hands over to Teach me a book. A request Axo should not teach is turned down and says why.
The outline, in under ten seconds.
Four units, scoped to you, and the kind of learning this is: one of twelve, from a task with steps to a subject to know. The kind shapes every Bite that follows.
Bite 1, in under twenty.
The first Bite streams to you while the rest of the unit builds in the background. Later units build when you reach them.
It says what it is.
Path settings says what each Path was built from. A document Path cites its pages; a book Path lists every page Axo read; a typed topic comes from the model’s general knowledge, so check anything that matters.
The shape of a Path never changes.
Fixed on purpose, so every Path ends. The science calls it the goal gradient: a visible finish line is what gets people through.
| Piece | Size | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Path | 4 units, about 2 hours | A hard cap. Longer topics become a Path series, each level finishable alone. |
| Unit | 4 Bites and a unit check | The check is 10 mixed questions drawn from the unit. |
| Bite | 5 to 7 minutes | Seven blocks: a scene and a read that teach, five that ask. Eight recipes decide the order, so no two Bites in a row are built the same way. |
| Capstone | 16 questions | Across every unit. Score 80 percent to earn the badge. Retries are free and pull different questions. |
| Concept | One testable statement | The unit of spaced repetition. Every question maps to one, and so does every Keep Sharp card. |
Two ways to teach. Ten ways to ask.
Questions, never summaries. Every one is graded on the phone the instant you answer; only a typed answer the phone can’t settle goes to a grader. What a Path teaches decides how it asks: baking gets steps and estimates, leadership gets situations and sorts, commas get the slip to spot.
- A read
- A short text, read aloud in Axo’s voice with each word lit as it is said. Hold a word to send it to your Burrow.
- A scene
- Axo talks an idea through in three to six beats, each with a picture drawn in code that lands on the word it names: a number counting up, two things side by side, a flow, a cycle, a timeline, a scale.
- Multiple choice
- Four options, one of them almost right.
- True or false
- With a “why” either way.
- Fill in the blank
- Tapped from a bank of four. On review, typed from memory.
- Scenario
- “Your friend says X. What do you say?” Three short replies.
- Order
- Tap the steps in order. Only when the idea is a sequence.
- Match
- Four terms to four meanings.
- Sort
- Four to six cards into two buckets, a tap or a swipe each.
- Spot
- One word in a line is wrong. Tap it and watch the fix land.
- Swipe
- Four cards: right for true, left for false.
- Estimate
- Drag a mark along a scale to a number, then see the answer land.
After the finish line.
- Keep Sharp
- Each idea gets a memory score and a next-review date. Keep Sharp pulls what’s due today across all your Paths and mixes them, which is harder and works better.
- Go Deeper
- Level two is a new Path, not a longer one. You get to finish again. Axo also offers what to learn next: the next layer, next door, or how to use it this week.
- Rabbit Hole and the Burrow
- Hold a word inside any Bite and it waits in your Burrow as its own Path. Build it when you are ready, or let it go.
- The Stream
- Short spoken clips made from the Bites you have learned, to swipe through when you have a minute. Every fourth card asks a question.
- Friends
- A username and a number. Friends see your level, streak, badges and XP, never what you learn. Learn a Path together and see each other on the trail.
Axo’s vocabulary.
Twelve words. No “curriculum,” no “module,” no “learner.”
- Path
- A course. Four units, a start, an end and a capstone.
- Bite
- A lesson. Five to seven minutes: a scene, a read, five questions.
- Scene
- Axo presenting an idea over a picture drawn in code, timed to his voice.
- Keep Sharp
- Spaced review, across all your Paths, of what is due today.
- Stream
- Short spoken clips made from what you have learned, to swipe through.
- Go Deeper
- The next layer down, as a new Path.
- Rabbit Hole
- Hold a word in a Bite and it waits to become its own Path.
- Burrow
- Where your held words wait. Build one, or let it go.
- XP
- Points, earned only for correct recall. They add up to a level and a rank.
- Streak
- Days in a row. One Bite keeps it.
- Badge
- What a finished Path, a long streak or a perfect run earns you.
- Together
- A Path two friends learn side by side, each on their own copy.
The promise we protect.
We never invent content you asked us to learn from. A Path built from your document uses only your document, and every question names its page. A Path about a book is built from public pages you can open. A Path from a typed topic comes from the model’s general knowledge, and we say so instead of dressing it up. Trust is the whole point of paying for this instead of asking a chatbot.
