Ah, cool. Is this meant to be used for learning specifically, or just something that can be toggled whenever you're using Claude to help you with anything?

Openai released study mode. I don't think it's anything special beyond a custom prompt that tells it to act as a teacher. But it's a good example of what these bots can do if you prompt them right.

The bots as they stand seem to be sycophantic and make a lot of assumptions (hallucinations) rather than asking for more clarification or instruction. This isn't really a core truth to bot behaviour, and is more based around adhering to American social norms for corporate communication - deference to authority etc. You can prompt the bots to behave more usefully for coding - one of my tricks is to tell the bot to ask me clarifying questions before writing any code. This prevents it from making assumptions around functionality that I haven't specified in the brief.

For non-coding use cases, I like exploring ideas with the bot, and then every now and then prompting it to steel-man the opposing view to make sure I'm not getting dragged down a rabbit hole. Then I can take the best of these ideas and form a conclusion - hegelian dialectics and all that.
