Recurse is an AI study partner that remembers how a learner is progressing and adapts how it teaches them across sessions.

I'm a distance learner in South Africa, and I know how frustrating it is to get stuck when there's no lecturer or tutor available. Most AI tutors can answer the immediate question, but a new conversation starts without the context of what the student has understood, confused or found helpful.

Recurse's hackathon prototype focuses on calculus. It offers adaptive practice across a graph of prerequisite concepts, records evidence of understanding and possible misconceptions, and keeps short personal teaching instructions for each learner. If an answer suggests a gap in a supporting skill, Recurse can suggest prerequisite practice before returning to the learner's chosen topic. The learner remains free to choose a topic or return directly.

After each reply, Recurse saves the relevant learning evidence. At the end of a session, a critic reviews the conversation and can revise the teaching instructions using cited evidence. The next session starts with that saved state, so the tutor can change its approach over time.

The prototype also lets learners inspect and correct misconceptions, review the current teaching instructions and reset them. It is designed as an initial calculus pilot; grading and teaching quality still need independent human evaluation.
