I am working to create an online learning community and as part of this endeavor I have became familiar with different online community software platforms.
This lead me to question the features and the value, since a lot of online “communities” fail to engage members and are for the most part dysfunctional.
Meanwhile, genAI provides huge opportunities to create new kinds of learning experiences.
I have created a couple of smaller, standalone learning experiences and now I’m working to bring it all together under a common umbrella.
i started initially building web applications then - for various reasons - switched to building ChatGPT plugins and now GPTs.
I develop the backend functionality in the Wolfram Language, occasionally leveraging AWS services like S3 and DynamoDB.
The overarching mission is to bring learning about the Singularity, exponential progress, emerging technologies and their applications to a broad audience from high school age up.
The set of GPT includes:
-
an AI career advisor: this asks the user what their profession of interest is and then uses the built-in web search functionality to research how various emTechs impact the chosen profession.
-
a longevity advisor: this is basically RAG, using the built-in ability to upload documents and use the contents to answer questions
-
a brainstorming game: using the GPTs built-in image generation and a long master prompt to set a sequence this leads the user through challenges. It uses GPT “actions” that return some pre-written problem statements and provide randomness.
-
a learning com community: last but not least! this GPT implements basic online course functionality: displays lessons in sequence and tracks the user’s progress
All four will set up the same OAuth authentication to a single subscription will grant access to all.
