Oboe

Getting Started Guide

A quick four-part walkthrough of Oboe — from finding your way around to sharing what you've learned. Each part has a short video; hit play to follow along.

Part 1

Navigating the UI

Get your bearings — here's how the app is laid out.

  • The home screen is where every lesson begins: type what you want to learn, or pick one of the suggested topics.
  • The left sidebar holds New Chat, your Skills, bookmarked lessons, and your full chat history.
  • Inside a chat, the top bar shows the Sources Oboe used and a Share button; the … menu lets you rename, bookmark, download, or remove a chat.
  • The Skills page tracks everything you've learned so far and levels up as you keep interacting.

Part 2

Starting a Chat

Kick off a lesson in three quick steps.

  • In the “I want to learn…” box, type any topic — anything from “basics of negotiation” to “hand stitching to fix a button” — and hit send.
  • Oboe asks a quick calibration question so it can pitch the lesson at the right level. Just answer honestly (e.g. “I'm a complete beginner, keep it super basic”).
  • It builds you a step-by-step learning path using plain-language analogies to make the concept click.
  • Keep going by tapping a suggested follow-up or typing your own question in the “Ask a question” box.

Part 3

Artifacts

Turn any lesson into something you can see, hear, or study from.

  • Type / in the question box to pull up artifact commands — /diagram, /podcast, /song, /studyguide, /flashcards and more (or just ask, e.g. “make me a diagram”).
  • A diagram renders inline as a clean visual — great for comparing ideas side by side.
  • A podcast comes with a play button and a full transcript; a worksheet / study guide has a Printable and an Answers view.
  • Every artifact opens in its own panel where you can play, download, print, or expand it.

Part 4

Sharing your Chat

Send a lesson to a teammate or friend in seconds.

  • Open the chat you want to share and click the Share / Public button in the top-right corner.
  • Switch the chat from Private to Public so anyone with the link can view it.
  • Copy the link with one click, or share straight to Email, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, X, Facebook or Instagram.
  • Prefer to keep it offline? Use the download icon to save the chat, or the … menu to rename or bookmark it.
