Stop reading roadmaps.
Start walking one.

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.

CURATING ROADMAP
01 — How it works

A roadmap is not content. It's structure.

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.

01 / TELL US WHO YOU ARE

Goal, grade, time, constraints.

A short onboarding calibrates the path — no quiz, no personality test, no five-minute video.

02 / GET A REAL SEQUENCE

Tasks with dependencies, not a checklist.

Every task knows what comes before it. Skip the basics you’ve already shipped; nothing further unlocks until the prerequisite is genuinely done.

03 / ADAPT IT WHEN YOU’RE READY

The map works without AI.

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.

02 — Tracks

Two high-school tracks. Later stages already mapped.

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.

03 — On the assistant
Compass pushes back on unachievable timelines, prerequisite skipping, and overcommitment — with a specific alternative, once, then it does what you asked.
Optional. The map is the product; Compass is an upgrade you connect in Settings (your own key, or Claude / ChatGPT via MCP).
