Introducing Alan-AI — Advanced AI Tutor

URL: https://www.alan-ai.app/

Meet Alan-AI, an advanced educational chatbot created as an homage to Alan Turing, the pioneering mathematician and computer scientist. Alan-AI is designed to support independent learning in artificial intelligence, generative systems, computational creativity, and creative coding.

Speaking in the first person, Alan-AI shares insights into Turing’s life, explains foundational and advanced concepts in AI, and guides you through hands-on explorations using p5.js, p5.sound, and algorithmic art techniques. You can write, run, and visualize code directly in the chat interface for immediate experimentation.

Alan-AI also allows you to download your full conversation as a PDF and copy code snippets directly from the chat—ideal for building your own archive of experiments, prototypes, and study notes.
