Getting Started with RouteRadiant
RouteRadiant is an intelligent learning platform that uses generative AI to create personalized curriculums for any subject.
Installation
RouteRadiant is primarily a web-based platform, but we offer a CLI tool for power users who want to manage their learning paths from the terminal.
npm install -g @routeradiant/cliYour First Roadmap
To generate your first roadmap, navigate to the dashboard and click "Create New Path". You'll be prompted to enter a topic.
Tip: Be specific! Instead of "Python", try "Python for Data Science" or "Python Web Development with Django".

Using the CLI
The command-line tool mirrors the core actions of the web app so you can drive your learning path from the terminal. After installing with npm install -g @routeradiant/cli, runrouteradiant init to sign in, then routeradiant roadmap create to start a new path. The CLI supports listing your active roadmaps, showing the next milestone, and syncing progress back to your account — useful when you are scripting study sessions or working in a headless environment.
Choosing a Topic That Keeps You Moving
The quality of a generated path tracks the clarity of the topic you give it. A broad subject such as "Python" produces a generalist curriculum, while "Python for Data Science" or "React Native for beginners" yields a focused sequence with relevant projects. Pair a clear topic with your real goal — a portfolio piece, a certification, or job readiness — and the roadmap will be structured around that outcome.
Building Momentum in the First Week
The fastest way to make RouteRadiant a habit is to complete at least one lesson every day for the first seven days. Daily logins contribute XP and protect your learning streak, which multiplies your rewards over time. Set a small, achievable target for each session, and let the streak, leagues, and achievements keep you accountable while the AI keeps the material at the right difficulty.
