LessonFolk is a collection of open-source AI courses designed to be taught by an AI. Connect your AI chat (Claude Code, ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Cursor…) to LessonFolk, say "let's start", and it guides you through lessons in a conversation: explaining, asking questions, adapting to your level, and saving your progress.
How it works
LessonFolk is a website and an MCP server (Model Context Protocol, a standard way for AI apps to use tools). Your AI chat connects to it: it gets the courses and the tutor's instructions, and saves your progress there. The website shows your courses, your path and your progress.
The tutor asks about your level and interests, recommends a path of courses, and teaches one short lesson at a time. Courses are grouped by theme: Understanding AI, Using AI tools, Building with AI and AI and society. The full list, in the recommended order, is courses/en/index.yaml, or ask your tutor "what can I learn?".
Coming soon: Projects. Real projects to practise what the courses teach: a subject, a few milestones to reach, and your tutor as a coach who gives hints instead of the solution. Some will close a course, others will stand alone.
Quick start
Pick one of two ways:
Hosted (lessonfolk.com): sign in with GitHub or Google, open its Connect page and add LessonFolk to your AI chat (in Claude Code, a plugin does it for you). Your progress is saved with your account.
Self-hosted: private, on your computer, no data sent to us. With Docker running:
git clone https://github.com/CGSeb/lessonfolk.git
cd lessonfolk
docker compose up -d --buildOpen http://127.0.0.1:4321 to see the dashboard. Then start your AI chat in this folder:
- Claude Code: run claude and approve the lessonfolk MCP server when asked.
- Other apps: follow the dashboard's Connect page.
Then say:
Let's start learning AI.
The learner guide has the details.
Contribute
LessonFolk grows with its courses, and writing one needs no code. Open your AI agent in this folder and say "create a course about…": it interviews you, proposes an outline, writes the lessons with you and checks them. You are credited as the author on the dashboard.
