It's tough for a person to teach an old dog new tricks, but the adage doesn't say anything about AI's success rate, so the 'Month to Master' app is putting that hypothesis to the test. The app uses an AI coach to help people learn new skills in just a month, no matter how lofty those skills might seem from the outset.
The concept for Month to Master came from the experience of the app's founder. Late in 2016, he decided to challenge himself to learn a new skill every month, just like the app itself promises. In the ensuing months, he learned to draw realistic portraits, solved a Rubik's Cube in 17 seconds, landed a standing backflip, played a five-minute blues guitar solo, and more. The app essentially automates his coaching techniques, keeping users accountable to practice time and helping them to find the best learning materials available.
