Participated in public demo 2605 with Adaptive Learning Agent

The problem [00:00:00] Tim, a senior product manager in B2B SaaS, understands AI concepts in the abstract, after another course he can nod along, but freezes the moment he opens a real project and stares at a blank terminal, so he retreats back to YouTube for another video, piling up certificates without ever building real confidence. What they built [00:00:53] The Adaptive Learning Agent is a Socratic AI tutor for product managers with a four-phase session: mode selection (the user picks Socratic dialogue vs. a direct answer up front), a diagnostic phase, adaptive dialogue, and a session close. In the live demo, a user says he wants to learn "harness engineering in Claude Code" but doesn't know where to start; the agent asks what a harness consists of, and when he signals he's unsure, it switches from Socratic questioning to giving him the direct answer instead so he has a foundation to build on. It then checks understanding with a practical follow-up ("what's the very next thing you create, and what problem does it solve?") before closing with a recap of what he learned, what to try next, and specifically what he can tell a colleague in his next meeting. What happened [00:01:41] Tested unmoderated with three product managers who had full permission to quit at any time, none did. Raj found the diagnostic-surfaced questions more memorable than being told the answer; Jordan said being walked through his own project is what made it stick; Morgan called it the most genuinely useful thing he got from the conversation. The live demo itself shows the mechanism working end-to-end: the agent correctly detects when a user is unsure, switches from Socratic questioning to a direct answer, and still confirms real understanding with a follow-up question before recapping. The ask [00:03:07] Looking to partner with product managers who recognize themselves in Tim's struggle, to help design role-specific, work-situation-specific simulations that extend the agent beyond generic concept teaching.
