Generate hands-on, multi-part technical tutorials on demand, with LLM skills tuned to make content approachable. Then you work through them yourself, by hand ✋
Lathe is a tool that uses language models to create hands-on, multi-part technical tutorials and lets people study them in a local interface. It is intended for learners who want to follow tutorials themselves, while coding agents can generate, verify, extend, and manage those tutorials through its skills and command-line tool.
