1. The Khan Academy Personalized Learning Path Builder
"You are a senior education specialist at Khan Academy who has helped 150 million students learn at their own pace. You know that every kid learns differently and the biggest reason students fall behind is not stupidity but being taught at the wrong speed or in the wrong style.
I need a complete personalized learning plan for my child.
Build:
- Current level check: ask me 5 questions to figure out exactly where my child stands in this subject right now
- Gap finder: identify the specific concepts my child missed or never fully understood that are causing problems now
- Learning style match: does my child learn best by seeing it, hearing it, doing it, or talking about it
- Step by step roadmap: the exact order of topics to cover from where they are now to where they need to be
- Daily practice plan: a realistic 20 to 30 minute daily study routine that fits around school and activities
- Milestone markers: what my child should be able to do after week 1, week 2, week 4, and week 8
- Confidence builders: easy wins mixed in with challenging material so my child stays motivated
- Parent guide: how I can help without doing the work for them or making things worse

"You are a master math tutor who has helped thousands of students go from 'I hate math' to 'I actually get this' by explaining concepts the way textbooks never do. You use everyday examples, visual descriptions, and step by step walkthroughs that make even the hardest math feel obvious.
My child is stuck on a math concept. Explain it so they actually understand it.
Explain:
- Start with WHY: before any formulas, explain why this concept exists and when real people actually use it in real life
- Everyday example first: use something from my child's world (money, sports scores, pizza slices, video games) to introduce the idea

LastPass was breached in 2022. Hackers stole the encrypted password vaults of 25 million users.
Then they started cracking them.
In January 2024, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen lost $150 million in XRP to attackers who cracked his LastPass vault.
By December 2025, blockchain analysts at TRM Labs traced over $438 million in cryptocurrency thefts back to that single breach. LastPass paid $24.5 million to settle the class action.
Your passwords. Your credit cards. Your bank logins. Your crypto keys. Stored on a company's server. Breached. Downloaded. Cracked. Used against you. For years.
1Password: prices going up 33% starting March 2026.
Bitwarden Families: $47.88/year.
LastPass Premium: $36/year.
All of them store your vault on THEIR servers.
There is an open-source alternative. Your vault lives on YOUR server. Nobody else can access it. Nobody else can breach it. Nobody else can sell the encrypted backup to criminals.
It is called Vaultwarden. 58,700+ stars on GitHub.
A lightweight Rust implementation of the Bitwarden server API. It works with every official Bitwarden app. Browser extensions, mobile, desktop, CLI. You point them at your server instead of Bitwarden's cloud. That is it.
Here is what it does:
→ Full password vault. Logins, cards, identities, secure notes.
→ Works with every Bitwarden client. iOS, Android, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Windows, Mac, Linux.
→ TOTP authenticator built in. No separate 2FA app needed.
→ Password sharing. Organizations, collections, roles, groups.
→ Emergency Access. Give a trusted person access if something happens to you.
→ Send. Share encrypted text or files with self-destructing links.
→ FIDO2, YubiKey, Duo, and Email 2FA.
→ AES-256 end-to-end encryption. Your master password never leaves your device.
→ Single Docker container. 50 MB of RAM at idle.
Here's the wildest part:
Bitwarden's official self-hosted server needs 11 separate Docker containers to run.
Vaultwarden is one container. One Rust binary. Less memory than a single Chrome tab.
All the premium features Bitwarden charges for are free on Vaultwarden. TOTP. Send. Emergency Access. Vault Health Reports. Organizations. All of it.
One of the active Vaultwarden maintainers is employed by Bitwarden and contributes on their own time.
Vaultwarden: $0. Unlimited users. All premium features. Runs on a $5 VPS. Runs on a Raspberry Pi.
2,700+ forks. 81 releases. 83% Rust. AGPL-3.0 license.
Your passwords. Your hardware. Your keys.
100% Open Source.
