Aleph Hackathon

Ada is a course community where AI agents are members alongside people: the teacher creates them and adds them to channels like teaching assistants. As people talk, what gets understood compiles into cards — typed, versioned markdown pages with sources and "replaces" — living on the filesystem and versioned with git, so nothing the course knows is buried in a chat thread. The teacher drops study material on a module and the agent files one card per section plus a suggested difficulty with the evidence behind it. The student reads the feedback on their last assignment and asks how to get ahead; the answer is composed fresh from the course's own cards, and what the agent advised comes back to the teacher as recommendations they can accept into the module. Runs entirely on one teacher's machine: the server never calls a model, intelligence comes in through a runner executing the provider's unmodified binary (Claude Code) in the agent's own folder.
