Codo Voice: Interactive Python Tutor

Learn Python inside VS Code with a live voice AI tutor, audio-synced Ghost Cursor, and 120 interactive modules in English and Amharic.

What is Codo?

Codo is a voice-first, interactive coding companion built directly into VS Code. Instead of reading through static tutorials or watching disjointed videos, you have an active conversation with an AI tutor that talks to you, points out mistakes on your screen in real time, and guides you through 120 carefully scaffolded Python modules from "Hello World" to advanced data structures.

Key Features

🎙️ Live Conversational Voice

Talk naturally with your tutor as you code. Powered by low-latency bidirectional voice streaming via the Gemini Live API, Codo answers your questions, pauses when you are typing, and provides verbal explanations.

✨ Audio-Synced Ghost Cursor

Never lose your place. As Codo speaks, the Ghost Cursor illuminates and annotates the exact line of code being discussed in workspace.py, creating a synchronized visual and verbal learning experience.

🪜 14-Step Micro-Ladders

Every module follows an interactive pedagogical ladder:

1. Concept Introduction: Brief explanation of the "why" and "how".
2. Socratic Check: Quick conversational check to build intuition.
3. Predictive Challenge: Guess the output before running code.
4. Scaffolded Coding: Hands-on exercises with immediate real-time feedback.

🌐 Bilingual Support (English & Amharic)

Switch seamlessly between English and native Amharic. All 120 modules, exercises, prompts, and spoken explanations are fully translated and localized.

⚡ Bundled Zero-Setup Sandbox

No need to install Python, configure virtual environments, or deal with path issues. Codo ships with a self-contained sandbox runner that executes your code safely with timeout protection and in-memory fast evaluation.

☁️ Cloud Progress Sync

Your progress, completed modules, passed exercises, and learner profile automatically sync securely with Supabase, so you can pick up right where you left off across machines.
