What this skill does

Teach treats learning as a process that can continue across sessions. It keeps the reason for studying, reference materials, lessons and learning records. The agent can then prepare the next explanation using what has already been covered and the difficulties still unresolved.

This supports iabot's aim of extending human capabilities: the AI employee helps a person understand and practise, rather than simply delivering a final answer. In a business, it can help someone learn a tool or procedure. Check its usefulness by applying the lesson to a real case and reviewing what support is needed next.

When it can help

  • Learn a tool through short lessons.
  • Prepare internal training with team examples.
  • Resume a topic while retaining goals and difficulties.

A task to get started

Help me learn to use spreadsheets for our budget tracking. Prepare a practical first lesson, save what we covered and adapt the next lesson to the mistakes I make.

What you need

  • A learning goal and examples appropriate to the person's level.
  • An authorised space for storing lessons and notes.

Limits and result review

  • Tracking depends on the quality and continuity of the records.
  • Review explanations and exercises when the topic requires specialist knowledge.
