Quite interesting; love the UI. The content of the courses, however, seems to be below the configured level. I tried with a software engineer profile on the app, but it still gave me a very high-level module. I'd like it if the content started off extremely technical, given that I put in software engineer as my profession. Either ways, all the best on this release.

super fun! does look and feel like an evolution of NotebookLM!

the podcast format is what got me, most "learn anything" apps assume you're sitting at a desk staring at flashcards, but the stuff I actually want to learn (history, how some industry works, why a technology got built the way it did) is exactly the stuff I'd rather absorb on a walk. curious how it decides when to break something into a short lesson versus a longer audio piece, is that something you tuned by hand or does it just follow the topic

I think it's important to assess the user's current level of knowledge first. Do you have a way of doing that?

Congrats on the launch!!!

Honestly, it looks quite impressive, the idea is awesome!I gave a quick try to the one of the existing courses and then tried to create my own For learning Serbian language. What I noticed in the process - that if you asking to improve the structure of the course it rewrites it completely, but what if I want add/replace only one tiny section. Maybe I hadn`t find that option or it is not exist?

@hcwxd This looks interesting! I’m curious - are the lessons and podcasts created natively inside Wondering, or are the learning paths built by curating and organizing external resources?

The Friend Streak is a nice detail. Learning the same topic with someone else could make this feel less like another solo course. Learning alongside someone is a lot harder to ignore than another solo streak. Congrats on the launch!

Played the game for a couple of rounds. Really great potential! Could be the learning app of the future😍

Hey Cheng-Wei, congrats on the launch! We met at a Blue Bottle in SF last year, you pulled up Wondering on your phone and showed me the early build. I won't pretend I remember every detail a year on, but I remember walking out thinking it would work."Structure, not endless chat" is the line that stuck. Most things in this space optimize for getting you to an answer faster. Optimizing for what happens after the answer is a harder sell and a better product.I am also launching my new product, Nuphos, here next week, so I'll be watching today closely 🤣Congrats to you both!

I liked it enough to actually sign up and try it, which is more than I did for most launches today. Two bits of honest feedback, since you asked.The questionnaire is too long before the first taste. I wanted to see it work in about ten seconds and instead I was filling in a form. I'd cut it to one question, or skip it and infer from whatever I type first.Then I ran a deliberate test. I told you I'm a product manager, gave you my goal and my plan — then asked for a course on travelling to Sanya, China. Completely unrelated to everything I'd just entered. I got a perfectly good course. Which is the moment I wondered what the questionnaire had bought me.Angelica's reply to Nika says the path is tailored to current knowledge, experience and goals. I believe that's the intent, but I couldn't see it in my output. So either the profile does shape the course and you're not showing your work — "because you're a PM, we're starting here" would fix that in one line — or it shapes it less than the form implies, in which case you're asking for trust before you've earned any.Which is it?

Congrats on the launch! Really loving the idea of creating custom courses with AI. Just gave it a try and it worked super smoothly!
[Redacted] • Aug 4, 2026
How "deep" can the knowledge for each topic be? Because Duolingo is specialised in many languages. But this is even more complex.

Heyo Product Hunt! I’m Cheng-Wei, co-founder of Wondering

I left NotebookLM a few months ago to solve a bigger problem in learning. Today, Angelica and I are excited to share Wondering with the Product Hunt community ☺️

We kept noticing that our tools were becoming more capable, while people were becoming more dependent on them. Most AI tools are built to hand you an answer. Very few are designed to help you develop the knowledge and judgment.

We are getting more answers, but understanding less.

So, we built Wondering for the people who still want to understand and think for themselves.

A few things we care deeply about:

📚 Structure, not endless chat
Instead of dropping you into a blank conversation, Wondering creates a clear roadmap from where you are to where you want to go.

🧠 Understanding, not just information
Lessons help you make connections, practice retrieval, and turn information into knowledge you can remember and apply.

✨ Personalization with purpose
The learning path, explanations, examples, and depth adapt to your background and goals.

🎧 Learning that fits into your busy life
Lessons are designed to take only a few minutes, and every course can become a podcast you can listen to while walking, commuting, or doing chores.

👯 Motivation that feels human
You can build a daily learning habit on your own or start a Friend Streak to learn alongside people you care about. And no, we won't guilt trip you like a certain green bird.

We are very grateful for our early users 🫶. We are still a very small team, and there is so much more we want to build for learners.

We would love to hear:
1. What is something you have always wanted to learn but never found the time for?
2. Anything in Wondering that frustrated, confused, or delighted you?

You can start learning anything for free at https://wondering.app.

Thank you for checking out Wondering. We’ll be here all day answering questions and listening to your feedback ☺️
