Student AI
Learning Portal
Use AI to understand the work, practice it, and explain it in your own words.
Built for middle- and high-school students, with parent takeaways alongside the lessons. Practice starts with your own attempt. The prompts ask the AI to interview you one question at a time, then help you work through the gap.
A searchable lesson library, practice drawer, local completion tracking and light or dark themes live in one browser file.

Keep it simple
Download. Open.
Put one lesson to work.
The learning tools run locally in a modern browser. No installation, account or server is needed to read and practice in the console.
1Keep your copy.
Download a ZIP and extract it to a folder. It includes a START-HERE HTML file, a README and the companion prompt guide in Markdown. Or choose the HTML-only download.
2Open the HTML file.
Double-click the START-HERE file to open it in your browser. New to AI? Begin with Beginner Guide 01. The Student Portal opens directly from its downloaded HTML file.
3Learn, then practice.
Read a lesson, open its practice drawer and try the next step. In the consoles, Apply, Reflect, Check and Diagnose help you turn reading into something you can use.
The lessons work offline. To try a prompt with an AI assistant, copy it into the AI tool you use. Progress and notes stay in the browser on your device; clearing that browser's saved data removes them.
Before you start.
A few practical details about the downloads.
Are all four editions and the Student Portal really free?
Yes. Every download on this page is free, including Intermediate, Advanced and the Complete Library. The files download directly from this website, with no signup or checkout.
Do I need the individual editions if I get Complete?
No. The Complete Library already includes all 93 guides, 75 companion prompts and three capstones across Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. The Student Portal is a separate download with its own school-focused learning path.
What's the difference between ZIP and HTML?
The HTML file is the working console, with its lessons and practice material included. The ZIP adds the README and Markdown prompt guide as a plain-text companion. Complete includes all three prompt guides. The Student Portal is a single HTML file.
Will my progress sync between devices?
Progress is stored locally in your browser. Keep using the same browser and device to return to your saved place. The files don't create an account or sync your work to a cloud service.
