Gradūs placement → a path through official AI courses

I kept finding the same problem: beginners can find hundreds of free AI courses, but not the first sensible door. I built Gradūs to make the starting point explicit: a free ~15-question placement (~4 min) maps learners to L0–L4, then suggests a short PATH of official free courses from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and others. It links out; no affiliation/rehosting.

Try it: https://gradus.fyi/start

I’d value feedback from IH: does the placement feel fair, and does the PATH feel more useful than another course list? The placement stays free; an optional Desk subscription ($19/mo or $149/yr) funds keeping the map current.

    Two feedback lanes I’m hunting:

    1. People who already use ChatGPT weekly — does L-level undershoot/overshoot?
    2. People earlier on — is the first PATH door actually doable in a sitting?

    https://gradus.fyi/start — free; Desk only if you later want a living map.

    If anyone tries the free placement — curious: does the L0–L4 band feel fair after you finish, or still like another course list?

    Roast welcome on PATH order especially.

    Really good writeup, thanks for sharing it. What's the next thing you're planning to try here?

      Appreciate that.

      Next thing I’m testing in public: whether people who already use ChatGPT weekly land on a fair L-level after the free placement — and whether the first PATH door is actually doable in one sitting (vs another course list).

      Curious after: did L0–L4 feel right, and would you pay $19/mo (or $149/yr) for Desk to keep that map current — or is free placement + PATH enough for now? Either answer helps.
