You ship fast.
But do you understand it?
AI agents write your code. You approve, merge, ship — repeat. But when it breaks, can you debug what you didn't write?
ai-in-a-shell teaches the concepts behind AI-generated code through micro-lessons that fit between deploys.
Three ways to learn. One goal: you actually get it.
See it
Swipe through visual concept cards. Architecture diagrams, code flows, mental models — each one lands in 10 minutes.
Go deeper
Ask Synapse, our AI tutor. It doesn't just answer — it asks you back. Socratic method meets on-demand mentorship.
Lock it in
Scenarios, free-text explanations, "defend your decision" challenges. If you can't explain it, you don't know it yet.
Visual learner? Start with cards. Want details? Chat with Synapse. Ready to prove it? Take the quiz.
Built for how developers actually learn
Not video lectures. Not documentation walls. Micro-lessons designed for engineers who learn by doing.
Your AI tutor asks back.
Every lesson includes questions that force you to articulate your understanding. "Why this architecture?" "What breaks if you change this?" Like a senior engineer reviewing your design — except available at midnight.
The gap is growing.
Every day AI writes more of your code. Every day the gap between what you ship and what you understand gets wider. Close it.
