Why AI Mentorship Beats Guess-and-Check Coding

In a world where AI can write code, learning to code isn’t about memorizing syntax—it’s about understanding how to think like a developer. Rigobot the AI mentor, created by the 4Geeks Academy team, isn’t just another chat-bot. It follows you everywhere you are learning (phone, laptop, coding environment, learnpack…), watches every line you write, and gives you real-time, personalized feedback that grows with you. Whether you’re debugging a Python script or building a React app, Rigobot’s got your back—day or night.

Imagine this: you’re working on a JavaScript exercise, and your loop’s not behaving. Instead of hours of frustration, Rigobot highlights the exact line, explains the logic error, and suggests a cleaner approach. It’s like pair-programming with a pro who never gets tired. And the best part? It’s built into every 4Geeks course, so you start learning with Rigobot from day one.


How Rigobot Works — Step by Step example

  1. Launch a LearnPack exercise with one click (no setup).
  2. Code like a pro in VS Code; Rigobot silently watches tests and commits.
  3. Ask for help via the Get Feedback pane ‑ or wait for Rigobot’s proactive nudge.
  4. Instant explanation: highlights the bug, explains the logic, suggests a fix.
  5. Adaptive learning: remembers your patterns and tailors advice every session.

You stay in a real developer workflow from day one—no browser sandboxes, no toy editors.
