What you are building

A tutoring or coaching assistant used over weeks or months by individual learners, sometimes with an instructor overseeing a cohort.

Why memory decides whether it works

  • Without memory, each session restarts from a placement question.
  • Mastery changes: a misconception corrected last week should stop shaping explanations.
  • Instructors need a view across a cohort; learners shouldn’t see each other.

What Auld provides

  • Per-learner private memory plus a cohort audience for instructor notes.
  • Dated progress facts that supersede as skills improve.
  • Recall with history to show progression over time.

Getting there

  1. Record session outcomes

    A short summary per session: what was practised, what improved.

  2. Store goals separately

    Goals as their own records so they can be updated.

  3. Recall at session start

    Recall progress and goals, then plan the session.

  4. Give instructors an audience

    Instructor notes visible to instructors only.

Frequently asked questions

Should we store full transcripts?

Summaries are usually enough and cheaper; keep transcripts elsewhere if needed.

Can progress be shown as a timeline?

Yes: list memories with history for a learner and sort by validity.
