Playground

Try things, see what happens.

A real open-source AI guide runs in your browser. It can explain lessons, improve prompts, quiz you, help plan projects, and remind you when to keep thinking for yourself. Open the chat in the corner →

The chat is right there ↘

See the orange bubble in the bottom-right corner of your screen? That's the real chatbot: Llama 3.2 1B running entirely in your browser, no signups, no API keys, free forever.

Click it. Then click "Load guide →" the first time (it downloads the model once, ~600MB, then it is cached). After that, every prompt you send can get a coaching note AND the model's real answer streamed back to you.

How it works

Every time you send a prompt, the widget does two things at once:

  1. Guide note appears after the answer and tells you what's working and what to improve. (Orange-bordered box.)
  2. Real AI answer streams in below, generated by Llama running locally.

So you don't just get an answer: you get better at asking, every single time you use it. That's the point of this whole site.

Starter prompts: click to send them to the chat

Want to see the difference between a weak prompt and a strong one? Click any prompt and it runs in the chat: coach + real answer.

Weak prompts (the coach will push back)

Strong prompts (the coach will celebrate)

About the model

The chat runs Llama 3.2 1B Instruct: an open-source model from Meta. It's small (1 billion parameters), so it makes mistakes more than the giant frontier models. But it's completely free, requires no signup, no API key, no payment, and nothing you type leaves your computer. That's the trade.

Want to try a bigger open-source model? These run open-source LLMs (Llama, Mistral, Mixtral, etc.) on someone else's servers. All are free, with no account required for basic use:

  • DuckDuckGo AI Chat: anonymous, no signup, runs Llama 3.3 70B + Mistral Small + more
  • Hugging Face Chat: hosts dozens of open-source models, free
  • LM Studio: free desktop app to run open-source models on your own computer
