For students. For self-learners.
I'm self-taught. I remember the isolation of learning without a guide — questions you can't quite articulate, sensing something is wrong but not knowing where to look.
These tools are for you. For students in classrooms. For self-learners working alone. For anyone trying to see their own work clearly.
They don't teach. They don't judge. They surface what's already there — patterns in your thinking you can feel but can't name.
Why free
The real barrier to learning isn't access to information. It's knowing whether you're on the right track. That uncertainty compounds — you second-guess yourself, lose momentum, or charge ahead in the wrong direction.
A tool that shows you the shape of your own thinking costs almost nothing to run. Keeping it behind a paywall would solve the wrong problem. 10 free analyses a day on any tool. No account. No email. No expiring trial. The tools are free, and they always will be.
A cyborg project
Koher is neither human nor AI — it's both. I said what and why. Claude Code offered how. The division of labour — human handles judgement, AI handles synthesis — isn't just what the tools do. It's how they were made.
I couldn't have built this without AI. Claude Code couldn't have built it without me. It doesn't know what matters, when something is good enough, or why one framing serves students better than another.
The architecture is autobiography. The split that runs through the practice is the same split the tools are built on.
Open source: the first three tools under MIT; every new release after April 2026 under AGPL-3.0. Run them locally, or on the hosted demos while funding lasts.
Koher also looks for interesting use-cases and stories — a student sharpening a grant proposal, an educator running a tool with a class, an advocate who finds it useful for a campaign brief. Send stories, or support the runway, at hello@koher.app · support Koher.
