The problem
Turn a vague goal or a pile of materials into a learning path that actually makes sense.
Studying on your own usually starts with dozens of tabs, saved videos, and notes that never connect. An off-the-shelf course rarely matches the learner's exact goal and level, and a general-purpose AI chat answers questions without ever walking anyone through a program. The job: take one topic, or the learner's own materials, build a personal course from it, and stay with them from the first lesson through to actually remembering it.
The approach
A course from a single prompt
The learner names a topic and their level, and the AI breaks the goal into modules, short lessons, quizzes, and flashcards. The first lesson is ready in about two minutes.
Learning from your own materials
Added uploads for PDFs, links, and YouTube videos. Instead of a generic program, the learner gets a course built from their own sources.
The mechanics of remembering
Built in active recall and spaced repetition. Quizzes lock in each lesson, and flashcards bring the material back before it fades.
AI study partner
Built an assistant that knows the context of the course: it explains a topic another way, gives examples, and checks understanding by voice or text. Practice is available 24/7.
Progress and the business model
Added weekly goals, streaks, and progress analytics, and split access into Free, Pro, and Team — from the first three courses through to unlimited learning and team onboarding.
Business impact
Going from a topic to a finished first lesson now takes about two minutes — with nobody piecing a program together out of dozens of sources.
Before the project
Learners built the path themselves: dozens of tabs, videos, and notes that never added up to a coherent program.
Entry point
A topic, a PDF, a link, or a YouTube video.
Where it broke down
A general-purpose AI chat answered isolated questions, but never walked the learner through a program or brought material back for review.

The result
We launched a bilingual landing page at ielts.school and the product itself at app.ielts.school. Learners pick any topic or bring their own materials, get a structured course, and run the whole cycle — lesson, quiz, review, and AI practice — in one place. The product keeps growing inside the studio.
