I built an AI course builder that helps you create hands-on course materials, interactive tutorials, exercises, and automatically checks the work submitted by students. It should feel like Claude Code or Codex for building courses.Most AI course generators stop after producing a syllabus or a collection of text. I wanted the agent to work on the actual course. After giving it a prompt, learning...

We did a couple of tricks to get good suggestions from the model (although some of them were changed later):

1. We tried to generate several explanation + code samples with the model. After which the code was parsed and evaluated with the judging system. Finally, only the code that would yield a correct result after the evaluation would be shown to the user. This was actually modified in the latest release we made.

2. We prompt different types of responses - suggestions on how to modify the code, suggestions of completely new ideas, and suggestions on which parts of the code to fix exactly.

Thanks! We're currently using the GPT 3.5 version with some hacks to make it produce good outputs. It would be great to try this with the ChatGPT as soon as they release a public API

This course focuses on the core concepts of Python and introduces each of them in an intuitive manner. To make the process more fun and engaging, the concepts are organized into levels, and passing each level means you’ve mastered a new concept. The main concepts covered in the course include: Input/Output, conditions, loops, built-in data structures (list, set, tuple, dict), utility functions to work with data structures, functions, and how to work with files.
