Here in Australia, magpies do something similar but in a bad way. During nesting season they'll swoop you, remember your face, and keep targeting you. My daughter got attacked two weeks ago.
Agreed. An always-on agent focused solely on improving your knowledge/skills could ask you questions daily, build a picture of the gaps in your understanding and learn where to push you next.
I started with a curated backbone across several fields, drafted with frontier models and reviewed by hand. The automatic (and fun) part happens when you pick a goal and a quest gets generated with its own prerequisites, mapped onto that backbone.
It's def not as robust as Math Academy's graph yet, they spent years hand-building and testing it on real students. But I bet a few more iterations of frontier models get there, especially once there's learner data to correct it.
That's a good point, but if you have an always-on agent focused solely on helping you improve your knowledge/skills, it can ask you questions every day and gradually identify gaps in your knowledge and it gets really good at knowing where to push you.
