Expert Knowledge into Elevated Learning Experiences

The challenge - Turning expert knowledge into premium courses is slow, long-form work most creators can’t sustain.

The innovation - An AI Course Designer, trained on story-centered design, remixes long-form content into mobile micro-learning with a creator-voiced chatbot.

The impact - Shipped a full first course - modules, context-aware AI chatbot, media library, and community - as one mobile-first product.

The Challenge

How do we help experts turn their knowledge into premium, AI-augmented learning experiences? Courses have become a primary way creators monetize their expertise - a market projected to reach $150 billion within a few years (Grand View Research / Market.us).

Creator courses, however, are typically long-form content libraries that take significant time to build and bring to market.

Interactive knowledge checks — Knowledge Checks

Multi-format resource library — Resource Library

The Approach

I set out to “remix” a creator’s existing content into a mobile-first microlearning experience - paired with an AI chatbot in the creator’s own voice and expertise.

To accelerate production of these courses, I trained an AI Course Designer on my story-centered learning design approach - ingesting long-form creator content (e.g. podcasts) and converting it into modules consisting of text, video, audio, and interactive cards.

Bodhi Grove is end-to-end - generating course marketing pages, processing payments, delivering analytics, and managing a creator’s full catalog.

Bodhi Grove course experience - learner card, AI chatbot, and discussion space — Every course is fully branded to its creator - their colors, fonts, and imagery, and their AI companion’s voice - across the whole mobile experience.

The Build

Bodhi Grove is built on Next.js, React, and Supabase, developed largely through Claude Code. The authoring surface pairs a precise card editor with a live phone preview, so the creator always sees exactly what the learner will see.

Under the hood, an AI layer turns an expert’s raw material into structured, on-brand cards, and a retrieval-augmented assistant is grounded in each course’s own knowledge base.

The Impact

Bodhi Grove’s first course launched in June for a creator in the wellness and coaching space. The course spans 8 modules, a context-aware AI chatbot, a media library of audio meditations and journaling practices, and a community discussion forum.
