Boots
You may have already figured this out by now, but below the lesson explanation (or in the Boots tab on mobile), there's an adorable bear-wizard named Boots.
His job is to help you when if you get stuck. Here's how:
- Boots is an AI chatbot, like ChatGPT, that's been trained on our lessons. When you ask him a question, he already knows:
- The official solution
- What you've been asked to do
- The changes you've made to the code in the editor
- He's been trained to not give you the answer (that's bad for learning), but instead to use the Socratic method to help you figure it out. He asks you follow up questions and explains fundamental concepts to keep you moving forward.
- Chatting with Boots before you've completed a lesson costs a Baked Salmon (he's a hungry guy), or, if you don't have one, 50% of the XP that you'd earn from completing the lesson. You only need to pay once per lesson to start the conversation.
- Chatting with Boots after you've completed a lesson is free. Use this to ask follow up questions, review the concepts, or ask for more examples.
