This week’s updates focused on making project generation more reliable, responsive, and easier to recover when something goes wrong.
💯 More reliable project generation
Project generation now runs on GPT
We’ve moved the project generator’s core workflows from Claude onto GPT models. This gives us more capacity to support learners generating projects at the same time and creates a stronger foundation for improving project quality.
Better handling when generation gets busy
The generator now responds more gracefully when demand exceeds available model capacity. Instead of failing immediately, it retries model requests with smarter delays.
Failed generations are easier to recover
We fixed cases where a project could fail near the end of generation and the Try again button could not resume it.
Long project plans no longer freeze the browser
Generating a detailed project outline previously risked slowing down or freezing the page for several minutes. Outline updates are now processed more efficiently as they stream in.
🏎️ Smoother generator conversations
No more repeated questions
We fixed several cases where the generator could ask the same question twice or repeatedly return to questions the learner had already answered.
Broken conversations can repair themselves
Malformed or unusually long chat histories could previously break a generator conversation. The generator can now clean up recoverable chat issues before continuing.
Clearer feedback when the chat runs into a problem
Instead of silently failing or leaving the loading spinner running forever, our generator now shows an error and gives the learner a way to continue.
🐛 Bug Fixes
Fixed long task and quiz content overflowing outside its card
Fixed project content containing `
{{`breaking the chat.Fixed long Learnlist titles overflowing their available space
Fixed some generated chat messages appearing as gibberish.
⭐ New projects
Give Hermes Agent Powers with MCP
Connect your Hermes agent to GitHub and your local filesystem through MCP servers, then watch it pull live data from both to summarize a real repository in a single conversation.
Build and Brew projects:
❤️ Community
Released an #inspirational-stories wall highlighting a mix of career switchers, uni students and lifelong learners in the community
Released #pick-a-project to make it even faster for members to find their next project within the community.
We’ve also set up a Mac Mini in the office that is now taking on tasks, from carousel generation to bug fixes, day and night!
