Product

What is Iro AI?

Iro AI is a gamified app that turns learning AI into a daily game: pick a path, complete 5-minute lessons, practice real prompts, earn XP and streaks, and build a visible skill profile, your Operator Build. It covers ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, prompt engineering, AI agents, automation, and creative AI across 25 learning paths and 2,050+ exercises. iOS-first, with a web app at app.tryiro.com. Free to start.

What is Image Lab?

Image Lab is a prompting playground inside Iro's Create tab. You write an image prompt, get an image back, and iterate, with Ask Iro able to critique your prompt and suggest what to change. It is built to teach you what actually changes an image, not just to produce one. Image Lab is part of Iro Pro, with up to 10 images a day.

Can Iro turn a TikTok or YouTube video into a course?

Yes. On Create-a-Path you can paste a link to a TikTok or YouTube video and Iro builds a full interactive learning path on that topic, with lessons and exercises. Instagram links are not supported yet.

How does the free tier work?

Every learning path is open on the free tier. A battery gives you one full charge every day, spent when you start a new lesson, recharging overnight. You can bank up to two extra charges: one from the Daily Challenge each day, one for inviting a friend each week, or one for 300 gems. A charge is spent when you start a lesson and you always get to finish it, so mistakes never cost you anything mid-lesson, and replays, review sessions, the Daily Challenge, AI News quizzes and onboarding never use a charge. Free also includes the Daily Challenge, weekly AI news briefings, a free taste of Ask Iro, and all streaks, XP and ranks. Iro Pro adds unlimited lessons, the Prompt Lab, Image Lab, AI duels, the prompt library, unlimited Ask Iro, unlimited custom and community paths, and certificate claiming.

What is the Operator Build?

Your visible AI skill profile. Iro scores your ability across areas like prompting, tools, automation, creative AI, and work skills, rolls them into an Operator Build with a power level, and tells you what to train next. It lives in the Progress tab alongside stats, achievements, and certificates.

How is the app organized?

Three tabs: Learn (your paths and 5-minute lessons on a Duolingo-style map), Train (Prompt Lab, prompt practice, and live AI duels), and Progress (your Operator Build, stats, achievements, and certificates).

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. Finishing a path earns a shareable certificate with a unique credential ID that you can add to LinkedIn in one tap. It is honest proof of practice and progress, not an accredited certification.

Do I need prior AI experience?

No. Beginner paths start from zero on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. Advanced paths cover AI agents, automation, and vibe coding.

Does Iro have a prompt library?

Yes. The in-app prompt library is part of Iro Pro, alongside the Prompt Lab. Iro leads with active prompt practice and AI-generated feedback rather than only handing you static templates. There is also a free prompt library on this site, open to everyone.

Comparisons

How is Iro different from a video course (Coursera, Udemy, YouTube)?

Iro focuses on active practice in short sessions. Users write prompts, evaluate outputs, spot hallucinations, and duel opponents, not just watch.

Is Iro a "Duolingo for AI"?

Yes. Iro applies Duolingo-style gamified microlearning to AI fluency. See /duolingo-for-ai.

Is Iro a substitute for a CS degree or AI certification?

No. Iro builds practical day-to-day AI fluency. It is not an accredited certification.

AI IQ test

What is the AI IQ test?

A free 10-question quiz at /quiz that takes about 2 minutes, ranks your score Bronze-to-Diamond, identifies your weakest topic, and recommends a learning path.

Do I need an account to take it?

Can I share my score?

Yes. The results page supports share links and friend challenges via a score URL parameter.
