Short plans (30 days) are perfect for focused topics like "Raised Bed Gardening Basics". Longer plans (100+ days) suit broader skills like learning Python or mastering chess.

The AI auto-detects whether your topic is better suited for a vocabulary-style path (one concept per day) or a progressive skill-building curriculum, or you can manually choose your preferred path.

Lessons are designed as microlearning — each one takes approximately 5-10 minutes to read. Vocabulary-style lessons are ~800-1000 words (a deep-dive into one concept), while progressive lessons are ~500-700 words focused on daily skill-building.

MicroLearn offers three simple subscription tiers — no hidden fees:

🎁 Your first 3 lessons are free — no credit card required to start. After that, choose a plan:

Plan	Price	Savings
Monthly	$2 / month	—
6 Months	$8 / 6 months	Save 33%
Annual ⭐	$15 / year	Save 38%

All plans include up to 3 active learning paths running in parallel.

Every subscription includes up to 3 learning paths running in parallel. You can pause, resume, or cancel individual paths at any time from your Dashboard. Once a path is cancelled or completed, that slot opens up and you can create a new one.

Yes — everyone gets 3 free lessons to experience MicroLearn before committing. No credit card is needed. After your 3rd lesson, a paid subscription is required to continue receiving daily emails. During this beta pilot, all payments are processed via email invoicing. Subscriptions start at just $2/month. Email us to subscribe.

Yes! Every account includes a unique referral link on your Dashboard. Share it with a friend — when they sign up and subscribe to a paid plan, you'll receive 1 month free added to your account. There's no limit to how many friends you can refer.

You can cancel your subscription at any time from your Dashboard. Cancelling stops future billing — your existing lessons and history remain accessible for the remainder of your current billing period.

When you sign up, you provide your background (context) and current role or goal. The AI uses this context to:

• Choose analogies from your domain (e.g., explaining APIs in terms of restaurant ordering if you have hospitality experience).
• Connect today's topic to what you learned in previous lessons.
• Adjust complexity based on your feedback history.

The more detail you provide in your background, the better the personalization.

Every lesson email includes feedback buttons: 👍 Helpful, 🤔 Too Complex, 😴 Too Simple, and ❌ Not Relevant.

Your feedback automatically adjusts future lessons. If you click "Too Complex", future lessons will use simpler language, more analogies, and smaller conceptual steps. "Too Simple" triggers deeper, more technical content.

Yes! Log in to your Dashboard to see all your learning paths. Click View Full Plan to see every lesson in the syllabus, and click View on any completed lesson to re-read it.

Every lesson goes through a multi-layer quality pipeline before it reaches your inbox:

• Rule-based checks — hallucination indicators, relevance, and length validation.
• AI safety review — a separate AI evaluation for accuracy and professional tone.
• Automated recovery — if a lesson fails any check, our Andon Agent tries to automatically fix and re-generate it.

If quality standards can't be met, the lesson is held back and an administrator is notified.

From your Dashboard:

• Click Pause All to pause every learning path at once.
• Click Pause next to a specific path to pause only that one.
• Click Resume to restart at any time — you'll pick up right where you left off.

You can also click the Pause Emails link at the bottom of any lesson email.

Yes. Go to Profile Settings on your Dashboard and select a new Delivery Time (EST). Any hour of the day (midnight through 11:00 PM) is available. Changes take effect starting the next day.

Yes! Your subscription includes up to 3 learning paths running in parallel. Scroll to ➕ Add Another Learning Path on your Dashboard and enter a new topic. Each path runs independently — you can pause, resume, or cancel them individually. Cancelled or completed paths free up a slot for a new one.

Yes! Open the full plan view for any active or paused path (click View Full Plan on your Dashboard). You'll see a ⏩ Skip ahead… option above the syllabus. Enter the day number you want to jump to and click Skip. Lessons before that day are bypassed and your next email will start from the day you chose. This is useful if you already know the earlier material or want to focus on a specific part of your curriculum.

You receive a congratulatory email celebrating your achievement. Your completed lessons remain accessible on your Dashboard while your account is active. You can start a brand-new path at any time to continue growing.

You can cancel individual learning paths from your Dashboard. To fully deactivate your account, pause all paths and contact support. We do not delete your lesson history automatically so you can always come back.

Yes. Your data is stored in a secure database and is used only to personalize your lessons. Passwords are hashed with industry-standard algorithms. We never share your information with third parties.

MicroLearn uses Google Gemini (cloud) or can be configured to use a local Ollama model for on-premises deployments. All AI-generated content passes through multiple safety and quality checks before delivery.

MicroLearn supports up to 50 users per organization. Each person signs up individually and gets their own personalized learning path.

Terms / Vocabulary — Each day covers one key concept or term with a deep-dive explanation, analogies, and assessment questions. Great for learning industry jargon.

Progressive / Skill Building — Each day builds on the previous day's lesson in a structured curriculum, moving from fundamentals to mastery. Great for learning a new skill.

Our Andon Cord Agent automatically detects the failure and attempts to resolve it using alternative generation strategies. In most cases, the lesson is recovered transparently. If the agent cannot fix the issue, your path is temporarily paused and an administrator is notified to resolve it manually.
