Keet is our new app that uses video to teach you anything. Download it today on the App Store.

My DMs are open for any feedback/questions.

[Keet (YC S24) @trykeet]

We are excited to announce that Keet is available on the App Store.

Keet is an app to generate video courses on any topic. Courses follow a curriculum to ensure that each activity makes progress towards your eventual learning goal.

We are excited to see what you learn!

Voice changed our lives, and we genuinely believe it can change everyone else's too.

That's why we're making @WillowVoiceAI free. We want as many people as possible to experience what we have!

The four biggest claims from the Open AI paper

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model.

We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results.

We generate Vox and 31B1 style videos as the content delivery mechanism for our Keet courses.

Below are some samples, the first explains Kessler Syndrome from a course on Space and the second explains neural nets from a course on Machine Learning.

We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks:

Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better:

Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better:

Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better:

Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work!

In summary:
- As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding.
- Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.

All of these videos sit inside of curriculum which can be seen below. This makes sure that prerequisite topics are covered in the correct order.

@benspringwater @AppStore Yea, you just have to wait for 3 hours. Email support was useless.
