With the aim of aiding learning, Cosmo assists users by providing personalized guidance.At its launch, CodeSignal Learn offers a diverse array of courses encompassing introductory programming, language tutorials, data analytics, and machine learning. Moreover, the company envisions expanding into non-technical domains, such as management skills, to facilitate career advancement. Currently, access to CodeSignal Learn is available through a waitlist, where Cosmo formulates a tailored learning path for users based on their preferences and skill levels.
