Goal, grade, time, constraints.
A short onboarding calibrates the path — no quiz, no personality test, no five-minute video.
NextStep turns “I want to be a doctor” or “I want to work in AI” into a sequenced, dependency-aware path. The map works on day one — no account, no API key.
Most learning tools hand you a pile of resources and call it a path. NextStep treats the next decade like an engineering problem: ordered tasks, real dependencies, durable progress — on your machine.
A short onboarding calibrates the path — no quiz, no personality test, no five-minute video.
Every task knows what comes before it. Skip the basics you’ve already shipped; nothing further unlocks until the prerequisite is genuinely done.
Skip, complete, and walk the graph today. Compass can edit the path later if you add a key — or talk from Claude / ChatGPT, with no key at all.
Pre-med and CS/AI start in high school and look a decade ahead. Four shorter career maps (ML, data science, full-stack, clinical informatics) ship alongside. Empty later stages are the nested arc, not missing product.
Compass pushes back on unachievable timelines, prerequisite skipping, and overcommitment — with a specific alternative, once, then it does what you asked.
