Tomo

Tomo is an AI-powered learning app built by Lucid Mayhem, the company founded by Mohannad Ali. You type any topic, pick a teaching style, and Tomo generates a course with sections, levels, and quizzes in about two minutes. Lessons are played as short daily games on iOS and Android, and Tomo is also available as a ChatGPT plugin.

What It Is

Tomo is a gamified microlearning app, pitched by its makers as "Duolingo for everything." Instead of covering a fixed catalog like languages, it uses AI to build a course on whatever subject the user names. The result is a course map of levels that the learner plays one at a time, answering questions, getting feedback, earning XP, and keeping a streak. The site also lists hearts and leagues as part of the game mechanics.

How a Course Is Built and Played

The workflow has three steps: type a topic, receive a generated course, and play about five minutes a day. Users choose from five teaching styles: Bestie, Professor, Explain Like I'm 5, Storyteller, and Pirate, which change how the same material is presented. Tomo says generation usually takes under two minutes and sends a notification when the course is ready.

Browsing Existing Courses

Tomo hosts a public catalog that it says contains 1,500+ courses across 17 categories, including Arts, Business, Health, History, Language, Math, Music, Science, and Technology. Each course page lists its number of levels, estimated duration, difficulty, and teaching style. The site says these courses were built by people on the platform.

Tomo in ChatGPT

Tomo also works as a ChatGPT plugin. Users can ask for a Tomo course on a topic or turn the current chat into one, then play quick questions with instant feedback, hearts, and stars inside the chat. The site says no sign-up is needed to start, and connecting a Tomo account carries the streak into the app.
