Learn Cog - The Tutor That Explains Five Different Ways

The best tutors explain the same concept five different ways. CellCog does too.

#1 on DeepResearch Bench (Apr 2026) for reasoning depth — deep enough to break concepts into first principles — combined with multi-modal output for every learning style: diagrams, analogies, worked examples, practice problems, interactive explanations, and full study guides. Any subject, any level.

How to Use

For your first CellCog task in a session, read the cellcog skill for the full SDK reference — file handling, chat modes, timeouts, and more.

OpenClaw (fire-and-forget):

result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    notify_session_key="agent:main:main",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)

All agents except OpenClaw (blocks until done):

from cellcog import CellCogClient
client = CellCogClient(agent_provider="openclaw|cursor|claude-code|codex|...")
result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)
print(result["message"])

Chat Mode for Learning

Use "agent" for most learning. Quick explanations, homework help, and study materials execute well in agent mode.

Use "agent team" for comprehensive learning - full course outlines, research papers, or when you need multi-source synthesis.

Example Prompts

Concept explanation:

"Explain the concept of recursion in programming:

My level: Beginner programmer, comfortable with loops

I need:

• Clear definition
• Visual representation
• 3 progressively harder examples (factorial, fibonacci, tree traversal)
• Common mistakes to avoid
• When to use recursion vs iteration

Language: Python"

• Include vocabulary list
• Grammar points used
• Cultural notes
• Variations to practice

Use romaji and kanji with hiragana readings."

Tips for Better Learning

1. State your level: "Complete beginner" vs "I understand the basics" changes everything.

2. Ask why: Don't just ask for answers. Ask for explanations of the reasoning.

3. Request practice: Learning happens through doing. Ask for practice problems.

4. Admit confusion: "I don't understand the part where..." helps CellCog target explanations.

5. Build on previous: Reference what you already understand to get appropriate explanations.

6. Active recall: Ask CellCog to quiz you, not just explain. Testing improves retention.

If CellCog is not installed

Run /cellcog-setup (or /cellcog:cellcog-setup depending on your tool) to install and authenticate. OpenClaw users: Run clawhub install cellcog instead. Manual setup: pip install -U cellcog and set CELLCOG_API_KEY. See the cellcog skill for SDK reference.
