Getting an answer today takes seconds — but answering fast is not the same as learning. Students read an answer and a week later it's gone. Aprendia is a platform that turns any topic into a complete, playable course built on real learning science, so knowledge actually sticks. Every topic becomes a campaign: chapters and missions with a final challenge you only clear by mastering the content. Aprendia has 13 interactive exercise types — ordering, matching, image hotspots, diagram completion, video that pauses and quizzes you, even open answers graded by an AI judge with feedback. Reviews are scheduled with FSRS spaced repetition; give it your exam date and a Readiness Index predicts how prepared you'll be, with full mock exams. A RAG tutor answers using only your course material and shows citations — if something isn't in the sources, it says so. Courses can anchor to your own material: PDFs, links, YouTube videos, audio transcribed locally, or a cited web-research pass. Gamification is ethical (XP by mastery, never screen time) and an assisted mode makes every screen narrated and fully keyboard-driven. All of Aprendia's AI runs on AMD hardware through one provider-agnostic layer: Fireworks AI serves open models (GLM, gpt-oss) on AMD GPUs to generate full courses in ~20 minutes for ~$0.25, while our self-hosted Gemma 3 27B — vLLM + ROCm on an AMD Instinct MI300X in AMD Developer Cloud — powers the live judge and tutor with no rate limits. The full code is open (MIT) on GitHub, and one command seeds a complete demo: 7 campaigns, demo users, real progress — no AI key required.
