Would love to see a learning software that uses autogen/multiple agents to allow you to go down rabbit holes/details in subject material when needed. Or just more effectively branch your learning when needed. That’s a limitation I noticed when using chatgpt

It's a great vid, thanks. One thought: the words flashing on the screen is pretty off-putting. Maybe have them as captions we can choose to see or not? Keep up the good work my man! :)

Thank you very much. I applied, and it worked well. I have tried some similar prompts before, but yours is really efficient.

One thing I'm not sure about is how to identify the first three topics. I mean, I hadn't considered "Fundamentals" in the past.
