Learn Programming with your AI Tutor
Companion is your personal AI tutor for learning to code - guiding you through exercises, side projects, and offering real-time help. It’s like having a tutor available 24/7 as you learn, practice, and build.
Unlike typical AI coding tools, Companion won't write your code for you. Instead, it helps you debug, reason through problems, and receive meaningful guidance and feedback — so you can truly understand the concept.
The goal of Companion is simple: to help you think critically and deepen your understanding when learning programming concepts. Learn more here.
We currently offer Companion through the following mediums:
An AI programming tutor that helps you learn to code
Companion is your personal AI programming tutor — built to help you understand what you're doing, not just get you to the answer.
It's not here to write your code for you. Instead, it guides your thinking, helps you break down problems, and gives you instant, personalized feedback so you can truly learn the fundamentals.
You can use Companion to reinforce fundamentals with guided exercises, get help on your side projects, or follow our personalized Python course from the ground up.
It's 100% free to use so feel free to try it out! If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to reach out to me via email.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes—Companion is currently experimental and free to use.
The tutor is available to help you with your exercises and questions, along with providing feedback on your solutions. It is not meant to provide you with the answer, but rather to help you think through your problems and provide you with feedback on your solutions. This way, you develop a deeper understanding of the concepts, along with improving your problem-solving skills.
You start with a short quiz that assesses your fundamentals. Based on your results, you're routed to the right module. From there, you are given notes and exercises. We use ELO-based scoring to determine the next exercise to give you, based on your past performance for that module. Once you have achieved a strong ELO score for that module, you can then move on to the next module.
The VSCode extension offers the AI Tutor which is available in your regular coding environment. It can help you with whatever task or project you are working on, and it is language agnostic.
