Is Glassy Learn free?
Yes — every lesson on Glassy Learn is completely free to read and watch. The content is licensed CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
Do I need a Glassy account to follow lessons?
No. You can read any lesson without signing in. A Glassy account unlocks progress tracking so you can see which lessons you've completed.
How long are the lessons?
Most lessons are between two and eight minutes long. Each pairs a short video with a written summary so you can skip the video if you prefer reading.
Which browser / OS does Glassy support?
Glassy is a web app — it runs in Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox on any modern desktop OS. Local AI features use WebGPU and work best with a recent GPU. The Glassy Capture browser extension is available separately for quick capture.
What is the "window.glassy" API?
When you open a Glassy Learn lesson inside the Glassy app, the workspace injects a window.glassy global that lets the lesson page navigate you directly to relevant features — no copy-pasting paths needed.
How do I request a new lesson?
Open an issue on the glassy-learn GitHub repo or email [email protected]. We prioritize requests by upvotes.
Can I use lesson content in my own materials?
Yes, under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 — credit "Glassy Learn (learn.glassy.fyi)" and link back to the original lesson. Non-commercial use only.
What is the "local AI" track about?
It covers how Glassy runs AI models directly in your browser using WebGPU — no cloud required. You'll learn how on-device summarization, tagging, semantic search, and Q&A work, and how to switch between local and cloud models depending on the task.
What is Glassy Clear?
Clear is a membership, not just a plan — a private community that lives inside Glassy. Members share with members in a feed inside the app, get new tools and AI features first, help shape the roadmap, and include the Zero Reliance Pair while active. The first 2,000 Clear members are Founding Members, with a permanent Pair grant and member number. Glassy Self-Host itself is free with any Glassy account, including Free.
