Mentora is an AI tutor that lives beside you, inside the real app you're learning.

WHO IT'S FOR
- Anyone learning a software skill: students, job seekers, people changing careers, small-business owners teaching themselves Excel, coding, design or any other tool.
- Companies that need their employees to really learn the software they use at work.

THE PROBLEM
People learn software from YouTube. You watch someone do it, it all makes sense, then you open the app yourself and get stuck on the first step. Watching isn't doing, and a video can't tell you what you did wrong. Company training has the same gap: it checks that people watched the video, not that they can do the job.

WHAT MENTORA DOES
Mentora turns a tutorial into a lesson you do in your own real app. A panel docks beside the app and a mascot points at the exact cell, button or line you need. You do every step yourself. Mentora reads the app's real state and ticks a step only when it's truly done. Get it wrong and you get "Not yet", with the one thing to change. Stuck? It shows you, gives hints and answers your questions.

HOW WE LAUNCH AND GROW
1. Launch: a library of lessons for in-demand software skills, starting with Excel. Meta's Muse Spark makes each lesson from an existing YouTube tutorial for about $1.20, with no person writing it.
2. Grow: every app plugs into Mentora the same way, so the same pipeline makes lessons for any app and any skill that has a tutorial: spreadsheets, code editors, design and office tools. VS Code already runs on it.
3. Companies: a trainer does a task once, and Mentora turns it into employee training that tests understanding, not copying, then shows the trainer who can really do the task on their own.

HOW WE MAKE MONEY
- Learners: free starter lessons, then a monthly subscription for the full library and the AI tutor.
- Companies: a per-employee subscription for custom training and the team results board.
- Creators: tutorial makers turn their videos into interactive lessons and earn a share of revenue, which grows the library at no cost to us.

THE INNOVATION
- The AI teaches, but it never marks you right. Fixed rules reading the real app decide when a step is done, so no step is ever ticked on an AI's guess.
- Every lesson proves itself before a learner sees it: each check must be false before its step and true after, and every mistake the AI predicts is acted out and must be caught.
- Meta's agent then plays the lesson like a real learner, by mouse, in the real app.
- Made as easily as a quiz, but proven like an exam.

WHAT WE BUILT IN 5 DAYS
- The full Learn side in real Excel, and the Teach side for companies, which has run end to end on Muse Spark with a test recording.
- Eight lessons made by Muse Spark from real Creative Commons tutorials, each proven in real Excel. One tutorial became 19 steps, all 19 proven in under two minutes.
- Meta's agent passed that whole 19-step lesson by mouse, three runs in a row.
