Why You’ll Love This Issue

Because every tool here helps you:

• Cut course design time from days to minutes

• Simplify your behind-the-scenes work — from automations to publishing

Grab your coffee — let’s explore what’s new.

Tool Spotlight

1. Oboe — The AI Course Builder for the Curiously Minded

Overview:
Fresh from launch, Oboe is an AI-driven platform that builds structured, bite-sized courses from simple prompts. It outputs lessons, quizzes, slides, audio summaries, and even quick games — all designed to help you experiment and iterate faster.

How It Helps:

• Prototype courses in minutes — not days

• Repurpose lessons into multiple formats with zero extra effort

• Draw inspiration from shared course templates and examples

Try It Like This:
Type in a short prompt (e.g. “5-lesson mini-course on storytelling for coaches”).
Pick your preferred formats (slides, audio, quiz).
Export the materials and refine in your LMS or editor.

Use Case:
A solopreneur builds and publishes three mini-courses in one weekend, using Oboe to test audience demand before committing to a full program.

Other Tools Worth Your Attention

2. Google Classroom + NotebookLM (Gemini for Education)

What’s New: Google is now blending its NotebookLM and Gemini AI features into its education suite — meaning smarter lesson drafting, better analytics, and “AI Gems” that turn text into study guides or audio lessons.

Why It Matters:

• Auto-generate lesson drafts and quizzes in seconds

• Spot where learners get stuck with built-in analytics

• Make content accessible with audio summaries

Quick Example: Upload a reading list, prompt the AI to “draft a 45-minute lesson,” tweak the output, and sync it directly to your LMS.

3. Udemy Innovation Studio + AI Pathways

What’s New: Udemy’s Innovation Studio continues to roll out AI-driven features like scenario-based learning (“AI Role Plays”) and adaptive course pathways.

Why It Matters:

• Build interactive practice exercises with ease

• Combine short modules into complete career-ready paths

• Scale your courses to enterprise clients faster

Quick Example: A corporate trainer builds a negotiation simulation where AI plays the “client,” and learners practice responses in real time.

4. LearnWorlds + The Rise of AI Course Creators

What’s New: LearnWorlds and competitors like Heights AI are launching assistants that draft entire course outlines, assessments, and learner prompts for you.

Why It Matters:

• Instantly generate high-quality lesson structures

• Free up your time for refinement and coaching

• Create professional-level courses without the burnout

Quick Example: An expert turns a single idea into a full outline and test in one afternoon — then launches to a pilot audience.

5. Kajabi — Automate, Publish, and Engage Faster

What’s New: Kajabi’s latest update brings streamlined publishing and community automation tools to help creators scale without more manual work.

Why It Matters:

• Automate onboarding and member engagement

• Publish courses faster with improved workflows

• Run communities and funnels from one dashboard

Quick Example: A coach launches an evergreen course where new members are automatically welcomed, onboarded, and guided through week-by-week content drops.

Quick Hits — 5 Fast Headlines to Know

• Coursera expands its professional certificates and runs new seasonal promos.

• Platform Rankings 2025: Thinkific, Kajabi, and Teachable remain the top all-in-ones; Podia and Systeme.io shine for indie creators.

• OpenAI Teacher Training is spreading prompt-engineering programs for educators.

• Micro-platforms are emerging for “AI-first” course sharing and rapid prototyping.

• Verification is the next frontier — creators and institutions are building systems to fact-check AI-generated course content.

Wrap-Up: This Week’s Big Takeaways

• AI builders like Oboe are making course prototyping almost instant.

• Google and Udemy are leading the charge toward interactive, adaptive learning.

• Kajabi and LearnWorlds are reducing tech friction for independent creators.

• The best creators will still win on trust, quality, and creativity — not just speed.

Keep experimenting, stay discerning, and remember — every innovation starts as someone’s side project.

Make yours the one worth learning from.

Keep building boldly,

— Valentine.
