A company (mutable ai) was acquired by Google last year for essentially doing this but outputting a wiki instead of a tutorial.

Their site seems to be down. I can't find their results.

Were they acquired? Or did they give up and the CEO found work at Google?

The latter is what this thread claims ^

It sounds like it'd be perfect for Google's NotebookLM portfolio -- at least if they wanted to scale it up.

I don’t know the details of the deal, but their YC profile indicates they were acquired.

you're going to trust the person who started the thread with no idea what happened to the company and then jumped to conclusions based on LinkedIn?
