We're all told to go to college, get a desk job, and rack up a ton of debt... all while AI is getting ready to eat those jobs for lunch.We are building the alternative.Today, the Rambam's Ladder website has been completely overhauled to become our "Living Pitch Deck." It makes our mission crystal clear as we prepare for our Kickstarter and seed round.The new site tells the full, focused story:The Market: The massive "AI Revolution" labor shift and the failure of the 4-year college path. The Solution: Our scalable, proprietary "virtual trade apprenticeship" platform. The Model: How the Jolt app (our proof) funds the Jolt Academy (our mission). And this isn't just talk. The countdown is on.Our first app, Jolt, is in its final closed test. We are just days away from it going public on the Google Play Store.We're not waiting for permission. We're building this now.<figure id="figure-20v8axbva1mi2ioltf"><img id="20v8axbva1mi2ioltf" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/0VsGCmucvFVNWpBcMcp7npAkXUzeiN8VUaP21XaJMpAwp9IOOtEA0VSxmMGD1GC2.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure>

We're Building the Alternative to the AI Revolution

We've been listening to feedback from our beta testers, and we're excited to roll out a fresh update packed with improvements. This is how we get better—by listening to the pros in the field.🔧 What's New in v1.0.1:✅ Smarter Navigation Fixed the back button! Now when you're browsing through the Meter Guide or Field Hacks, the back button takes you exactly where you expect—no more jumping back to the main menu.✅ Ohm's Law Calculator Redesign This has been completely rebuilt from the ground up. Choose what you want to calculate (Voltage, Current, Resistance, or Power) from a simple dropdown, and the calculator does the rest. It supports all the formulas you need with clear error messages.✅ Better AI Assistant ("Sparky") We've upgraded our Gemini API access to ensure unlimited, stable connections. No more connection issues. Sparky will also give you clearer error messages if something goes wrong, so you know exactly what's happening.✅ Improved Typing We've enabled autocorrect and predictive text when chatting with Sparky, making it faster and easier to get answers in the field.💙 Thank You! A huge shoutout to our 12 beta testers who helped us identify these issues. Your feedback is making Jolt the best tool for electricians... and maybe even a few electrical engineers, too.<figure id="figure-hys5ewi90emi2j0bui"><img id="hys5ewi90emi2j0bui" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2c2bRbfFB1SPDce8ssTd1zON0cg3HfpDTY5UXsDkFkAhniEhKbBSwrkww8dVzJKF.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionX="null" data-positionY="null" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure><figure id="figure-zn9lgcz5gjmi2iza94" class=""><img id="zn9lgcz5gjmi2iza94" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/2dbDbBRGVXYEMrKfxovT9t4HivnCC3hjJOB5chEZMEe0zFdbVtWm30sn2UnXFoeI.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/2dbDbBRGVXYEMrKfxovT9t4HivnCC3hjJOB5chEZMEe0zFdbVtWm30sn2UnXFoeI.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>

Jolt v1.0.1 Is Live: A New Ohm's Law Calculator and Smarter AI

We believe in transparency, especially when the path gets tough.Since our last update about Jolt's completion, we've been deep in the trenches, working to get the app into your hands. And we hit an unexpected challenge with the Google Play Store.The process of submitting an app to Google is, to put it mildly, more complex than building the app itself. The latest requirement before official submission? We needed to conduct a closed test with a minimum of 15 unique Android users for at least 14 days.This is where we needed your support... and the response was incredible.We are thrilled to announce that we have successfully filled all 12 of our required beta testing slots. The 14-day "clock" has officially started.Our private test build is now officially live and hosted by the Google Play Store, which you can see right here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rambamsladder.joltPlease note: Access is currently restricted to our 12 approved "Key Holder" testers as part of the official review process.Seeing our app on Google's platform is a massive milestone, and it was only possible because of this community. To our testers, thank you.The next update you see will be "We are live."<figure id="figure-yvjeqfu2ncmi2ifac2"><img id="yvjeqfu2ncmi2ifac2" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2d3TdzIYbL4QTBXVIrzYNCGPllU47X9hoJHPOtuNkeqsX0zPSCBbXxHZobnLqmY6.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure>
