AI is evolving fast, much faster than any of us expected. But the next era isn’t about chatbots, prompts, or tools. It’s about something deeper: Synthetic Cognition. This is a new kind of AI that has continuity, memory, skills, long-term reasoning, and an evolving sense of identity.
Synthetic Cognition is something we’ve been working on for the past few years. To introduce this category to the world, NeoWorlder created something special: The Synthetic Cognition Challenge. It’s a guided, 75-module learning journey where you explore the future of AI and how NeoWorlder is pioneering it with an AI persona, and you can earn monthly rewards while you learn.
If you’ve been curious about where AI is headed next, this is your chance to experience it from the inside.
What is This Challenge?
Think of it as a learning journey, a personal mentor, and a friendly competition at the same time.
When you join, you’re paired with a NeoWorlder AI Persona. This is a specialized AI Guide built on Synthetic Cognition principles. It’s not a chatbot. It works more like a mentor or friendly guide that explains each of the modules in a way you can easily understand, whether you’re tech savvy or not.
It answers all your burning questions, and at the end, gives a short quiz to assess your understanding of the module, tracks your progress, and helps you understand how this new kind of intelligence works.
How to Access the Challenge
There are 75 learning modules released over 150 days on NeoTimes, the NeoWorlder news source. You can go fast, slow, or somewhere in between. The Challenge adapts to you. In addition to publishing these modules on our blog, we will post them on ur social media as well (LinkedIn, X, and Instagram).
In order to join the challenge, you’ll need to register on our website. Registration links will be found on our social media bios, social media posts, NeoTimes articles, newsletters, and they’ll be regularly shared on our Telegram channel.
What you do inside the Challenge
Each module includes:
- a short article
- a guided conversation with your AI Persona
- a quick 5-question quiz
- a reflection where you share your understanding
- optional social sharing if you want to post your takeaways online
Your Persona learns with you, reasons with you, and slowly builds a picture of your understanding.
How You’re Evaluated
You’re evaluated across three areas, and none require you to be a technical expert.
Understanding: This is about how well you grasp the ideas. Your quiz scores, explanations, and improvement contribute here.
Signal: This focuses on how clearly you share what you’ve learned. Even small social posts or short reflections count.
Engagement Quality: This looks at your curiosity. Do you ask good questions? Do you think about the material honestly? Do you try to refine your understanding?
The Challenge isn’t about doing the most work. It’s about showing real understanding and yes, you can win rewards every month
Each month, your AI Persona recommends the top contributors. NeoWorlder then reviews and confirms the final results. A total of 10,000 MDR is awarded every month:
- 1st place: 4,000 MDR
- 2nd place: 2,500 MDR
- 3rd place: 1,500 MDR
- 4th place: 1,200 MDR
- 5th place: 800 MDR
You don’t need a crypto wallet to start. Winners get simple instructions privately.
Who is this Challenge for?
Anyone who is curious about AI. You might be a beginner, a tech enthusiast, a founder, a student, a creator, or just someone who enjoys learning new ideas. No technical background is required. Your Persona adjusts to your learning style.
Why it’s worth joining
Most AI learning today is passive. You read an article or watch a video. This Challenge is different. You learn through conversation, reflection, and guided reasoning, the way humans naturally learn complex ideas.
You also learn with an AI that remembers you, adapts to you, and helps you develop real comprehension, not just surface-level knowledge.
If you’ve been wanting to understand the next phase of AI evolution, this is a very accessible starting point.
How to Join
- Visit the NeoWorlder website
- Register with your email. This is the only way the AI persona will be able to reach you with the module.

You can join anytime and complete as many modules per week as you want. Your Persona remembers your progress, so you can continue at your own pace.
Why this matters
Synthetic Cognition represents the direction intelligent systems are moving toward. It brings together memory, reasoning, identity, and long-term learning. Understanding this shift early puts you ahead of the curve.
If you’ve ever wanted to be part of something new in AI, this is a meaningful place to begin.
