Auto-structuring sub-30-minute micro-content without course planning & filming burden
Problem
Professionals with 25-30 years of experience want to monetize their expertise through online courses, but planning and filming a structured '10-lesson course' takes 3-6 months with an abandonment rate over 90%. What's actually in demand is 'under-30-minute practical know-how for specific situations,' but no tool exists to productize this format — including curriculum design, pricing, and sales page creation. Platforms like Class101 and Taling only accept fully completed courses.
Solution
Users enter their career field and 3-5 core expertise topics as text on a web form, which automatically structures each topic into a 15-30 minute micro-lecture curriculum (intro-core content-case study-summary). Slide outlines, filming script drafts, and sales page copy are provided together, along with a target customer analysis explaining 'who would take this lecture and why.'
