Any topic becomes your course
Topio turns whatever you want to learn into a short course made for you. Type a topic, choose who it is for – a child, a teenager, an adult or a senior – and the level, and the first lesson is ready in about a minute.
How it works
- Type a topic: anything from volcanoes to Python or personal budgeting.
- Choose the audience, the level and the number of lessons (3 to 20).
- Start the first lesson in about a minute; the rest are written while you learn.
What is inside
- Short lessons with theory in plain words and ten kinds of tasks: choose, type, put in order, match, fill the gaps, sort into groups and more.
- XP, levels, a daily streak, badges and a family league – who learned most this week.
- A helper inside each lesson that explains and gives hints but never gives the answer away.
- Every lesson can be read aloud by a narrator.
- Four ways of explaining: as usual, super simple, as a storyteller, or as a professor.
- "Read more": encyclopedia articles on each lesson's new words.
- Courses from your own notes, a PDF or a photo of a page.
- Printable certificates and children's diplomas.
- Family profiles: a parent makes courses for a child; children cannot create courses themselves.
- A catalog of ready courses whose first lesson opens at once.

Questions
What is Topio?
An app that makes a short gamified course on any topic with AI: lessons, tasks, XP and a helper, made for the learner's age and level.
Is it for children?
For the whole family. A parent creates courses for a child in a child profile; the lessons, words and tasks are written for ages 6–9, 10–12 or 13–17. Children cannot create courses or buy anything.
Can the AI give wrong answers?
Every lesson passes automatic checks: two independent solvers check the answer keys and a subject expert checks the facts; a disputed task is dropped. Mistakes are still possible, and every lesson has a "Report a problem" button.
Does the helper just tell the answer?
No. It explains, gives an example or a hint, but never the answer to the task in front of you.
How long does a course take to make?
The first lesson is ready in about a minute; a course of 5–10 lessons in a few minutes. Ready courses from the catalog open at once.
Which languages?
Courses in English and Russian; the interface in English and Russian.
How much does it cost?
The free plan gives up to 20 lessons a month. Plus costs $9.99 a month or $69.99 a year.
