First AI Class is built on RetenzAI's FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler) engine - the same algorithm used by top learning platforms worldwide. It's not magic; it's cognitive science.
Traditional courses dump information and hope it sticks. FSRS tracks what you know and what you're about to forget, then schedules reviews at the optimal moment. The result? You study less, remember more.
- Schedules reviews right before you forget
- Adapts difficulty to your performance
- Maximizes retention with minimal study time
- Proven by cognitive science research

AI systems.
Dr. Stephen Ronan is a board-certified plastic surgeon who became obsessed with AI infrastructure. He doesn't just teach AI literacy - he builds AI systems on NVIDIA DGX hardware, runs production LLM deployments, and develops the spaced repetition engine that powers First AI Class.
That rare combination - deep medical expertise, real AI engineering experience, and a passion for teaching - is what makes First AI Class different. This isn't theory from a textbook. It's practical knowledge from someone who lives at the intersection of AI and professional practice every day.
