Welcome

Welcome to the homepage for matz.

matz is an experiment to see how we can use AI for education. It is a console-based application designed around that concept. Unlike AI applications that are focused on automation, matz is focused on helping the user improve their own knowledge and skills.

The knowledge that matz has is limited to the mruby programming language, so the use-case is specialized to a particular topic. Questions that are not related to mruby will provoke a response that is equivalent to "I don't know". On-topic questions are answered by searching through authorative sources like the mruby guides, mrbgem index, and mruby source code.

Quick start

SSH

Anytime you have an mruby question, you can ask matz via SSH.
This service is free to use and open to everyone.

$ ssh matz@r.uby.dev

Features

AI as a SSH service
matz is available for anyone to use, for free, over SSH.
Designed to teach
matz is designed to help you learn mruby.
Authorative sources
matz treats mruby guides, source code, and mrbgems as first-class reference material.
Console app
matz runs in your terminal as a small mruby-linked binary.
Read-only by design
matz only uses mruby reference material available over HTTP.
He can't read from or write to your local filesystem.

matz chains these read-only tools against hosted mruby guide, source, and mrbgem data.
