Build Week Demo

Future Paths

Compare how different weekly worksheet plans may change a learner's progress toward advanced learning goals in Japan.

Based on a real family workflow across Japanese, Math, and English.

Anonymized real-world sample

This sample is derived from a real learner's progress. Names, identifying details, and exact dates have been removed or altered.

One current progress point, worksheet cards, and three branching paths leading to different future destinations.

Study plan

Learner and study plan

Change the weekly worksheet total for each subject and compare three possible future paths.

Japanese weekly workload
Math weekly workload
English weekly workload
Planning anchor

Goal benchmarks

Goal benchmarks in Japan

The sample uses published 2026 Japanese reference benchmarks to explain what the learner is trying to reach.

Three-subject goal is a planning label used by this project, not an official Kumon award title.

Reference benchmarks are based on the published 2026 Japanese criteria. Future criteria may change.

This percentage is not an award probability. It shows how much of the remaining worksheet distance is projected to be completed by the target date.

Future paths

Three future paths

Each path uses the same target date and current worksheet levels, but a different weekly worksheet plan.

Progress history

Progress history

The chart shows the sample learner's worksheet history and the current worksheet point used for planning.

Background

How it works and real-world origin

Future Paths began as a private planning tool for a family using Kumon in Japan. It compares worksheet progress and weekly study plans as several possible future paths.

Independent project. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Kumon.

The benchmark names are shown to explain the real Japanese use case. Future Paths does not calculate official award eligibility.

Build method

Built entirely through natural-language direction

The creator did not directly edit a single character of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript.

GPT-5.6 was used to turn lived experience, product decisions, privacy requirements, and review feedback into implementation prompts. Codex generated and revised all application code and project files.

Codex output was repeatedly brought back to ChatGPT for evaluation. Claude or Gemini were sometimes used for additional perspectives. The feedback was then synthesized with GPT-5.6 into the next prompt and returned to Codex.

The creator's role was to test the application, make product decisions, and direct every revision in natural language.

The application is evidence that a personal planning problem can be turned into working software without direct code editing, then shared so others can continue it through natural language.

AI remixable source

Make it yours with AI

Future Paths is not only a hosted demo. The complete source files are available under the MIT License.

You can download the files, load them into an AI assistant that can read project files, describe your own subjects, curriculum, goals, or workflow, and use a coding agent such as Codex to implement a customized version.

Open by design

Future Paths was not created primarily for exclusive ownership or monetization.

The source files are released under the MIT License so that anyone can use, copy, modify, redistribute, and build upon them while preserving the copyright notice and license text.

The value of this project is not limited to one finished application. A tool born from one person's lived experience can be inherited by others, adapted for new purposes, improved, and passed on again.

For this project, "open" does not only mean that the code is visible. It means that the continuation of the software is open to everyone.

The application is open source. More importantly, the ability to continue creating it is open.

MIT License allows use, modification, redistribution, and commercial use. Modified versions do not have to be published, but the original copyright notice and license text must be preserved.

The creator wants the original attribution to remain so that people can identify who started the project. This attribution is not intended to prevent anyone from using, modifying, redistributing, or building upon the software under the MIT License.

The MIT License applies to the original Future Paths source code and documentation. It does not grant rights to third-party trademarks, logos, curriculum materials, benchmark publications, or copyrighted content.

This public Build Week demo is a reproducible snapshot anchored to July 21, 2026. Customized versions may replace the fixed planning anchor with their own date logic.

How it works
    Make it yours with AI

    Future Paths is not only a hosted demo. The complete source files are available under the MIT License.

    You can download the files, load them into an AI assistant that can read project files, describe your own subjects, curriculum, goals, or workflow, and use a coding agent such as Codex to implement a customized version.

      Software can now be read, rewritten, and passed on through natural language, much like written knowledge. Subject to the license, a tool created from one person's experience can become an adaptable shared resource.

      AI-generated changes may contain errors. Always test the customized version before relying on it.

      Do not upload personal learner data to third-party AI services unless you understand and accept their privacy terms.

      Starter prompt for your AI

      English starter prompt

      Please read all files in this project and explain:
      
      1. How the application is structured
      2. Which files control the interface, calculations, data, and translations
      3. What personal or private data I should avoid adding
      4. How I could adapt it to my own subjects, curriculum, goals, and workflow
      
      Do not modify any files yet.
      
      After explaining the current project, ask me questions about the version I want to build. Then create a complete implementation prompt that I can give to Codex or another coding agent.
