You want to learn a topic, not look up a fact
A work skill, a subject you are curious about or something you need for a decision coming up. Cadence builds a course around it.
A personal tutor for any topic
Cadence is a learning app with a personal tutor, on iPhone and Android. It does what a good tutor does, without you having to run it: it asks about your goal and starting point, plans a course, teaches one idea at a time, checks what landed, steps in when an answer misses and brings earlier ideas back before you forget them.
“Give people the conclusion first.”
A chat answers. A tutor keeps track.
A chat assistant can explain almost anything, but you plan the curriculum, ask for the quiz and remember what you got wrong. Cadence does that part for you. Your goal and setup answers shape the course, each lesson teaches one idea and checks it, your tutor gives a hint when an answer misses and asks review questions on earlier lessons, and Today leads with the one next step that fits. For example, a new manager can ask for help giving feedback when deadlines slip, and Cadence plans the lessons, checks them and returns to the ideas that did not stick.
Use a tutor when you want more than answers.
You want your understanding checked
Lessons include checks. A wrong answer brings a hint about why that choice does not hold, then a second try.
You forget what you read last week
Short reviews bring back ideas from finished lessons before they fade, one question at a time.
You want a clear next step every time
When you open Cadence, Today leads with the one thing worth doing next: the next lesson, a review or practice.
How the tutor works.
Tell it what you want to learn
Type a topic or goal and answer a few setup questions about where you are starting and what you want to be able to do.
Learn one idea at a time
Read or listen to each lesson, ask about a line that has not clicked and answer the lesson check.
Get help at the moment you miss
Your tutor explains why a choice does not hold and points back to the lesson. Try again or ask a follow-up right there.
Come back to a plan that keeps up
The next lesson takes what you got right and what slipped into account. Reviews return before ideas fade, and the tutor can add a short stop to revisit an idea that slipped.
See the course before you begin.
These example outlines show where a course could start. Your tutor builds yours from your goal and setup answers.
Choose the kind of tutor that fits.
Different tools can serve the same learner at different moments. The useful question is what kind of structure, source, and practice you need now.

| Option | How it usually helps |
|---|---|
| Chat assistants such as ChatGPT | Excellent for open questions, working with your own files and a study plan you manage yourself. You decide what to ask next and keep track of what you have covered. |
| Subject-specific tutoring apps | Strong when your subject is a language or school math and science, where a structured curriculum already exists for it. |
| Human tutors | The best choice when you need a person's accountability, accredited exam preparation or feedback on hands-on work. |
| Cadence | A strong fit for adults who want a tutor for a topic of their own choosing: a course planned around the goal, checks with hints when you miss, reviews before ideas fade and one clear next step, on iPhone and Android. |

When Cadence may not fit
A tutor in an app has real limits.
- Lessons and hints can contain errors. Check high-stakes claims against reliable sources.
- Cadence is not a live human tutor and does not provide accredited degrees or professional certification.
- It does not judge hands-on technique such as lab skills, drawing or a sport.
- If you only need one quick answer, a chat assistant may be faster.
Before you choose.
What is a personal tutor app?
A personal tutor app teaches you a subject over time instead of only answering questions. A good one plans what to learn next, checks your understanding, explains mistakes and brings back what you are likely to forget. Cadence does this for any topic you choose, on iPhone and Android.
How is Cadence different from using ChatGPT as a tutor?
You can ask ChatGPT to assess you, plan a curriculum, quiz you after each lesson and track your weak spots, but you write and manage those prompts yourself. Cadence does those steps by default: it plans the course, checks each lesson, gives a hint when an answer misses, brings ideas back for review and shows the next step. ChatGPT remains a good choice for open-ended questions and your own documents.
Can Cadence tutor me in any subject?
You can enter your own topic, from a work skill to history or personal finance, and answer setup questions about your level and goal. Unsafe or unsupported requests may not produce a course. Languages and hands-on skills are usually better served by a specialist app or a human teacher.
Is the tutor a separate chat?
No. The tutor works inside your course. It stays quiet while you learn, speaks up with a hint when an answer misses, runs your review questions and points to your next step. There is no separate chat to manage.
Can I trust the tutor's explanations?
Treat them as a strong study aid, not an authority. Lessons and hints can be incomplete or wrong, so check medical, legal, financial and other high-stakes information against reliable sources and qualified professionals.
