AI eLearning Course Video Builder

    Inspiration: “eLearning Video Production” is a fast-growing market. Knowledge creators (teachers, coaches, experts) need to turn their know-how into structured video courses.

    Target Customers: Course instructors on Teachable, Kajabi, Thinkific; corporate trainers; paid-content bloggers.

    Pain Points:

    • Fragmented Workflow: Creators juggle PPT, screen-recorders, video editors, subtitle tools—​efficiency is low.
    • Hard to Update: When course content or a UI changes, tons of videos must be rerecorded and re-edited.
    • Camera Shyness: Not everyone is comfortable on camera, hurting overall course quality.

    Solution (Micro-SaaS): An all-in-one course video workstation. Creators supply only a text outline; AI drives the entire production flow.

    MVP Core Features:

    • Outline-as-Course: Write the course outline in Markdown; each chapter can include directives such as “lecture,” “screen demo,” “key takeaways.”
    • AI Virtual Lecturer: Choose a digital avatar; AI turns “lecture” text into talking-head video.
    • Programmatic Screen Recording: For “screen demo,” the system automates browser actions via Playwright, recording them.
    • Smart Slides: AI converts “key takeaways” text into branded dynamic slides.
    • Auto Assembly: Combines avatar, screencast, slides, logo, intro—​one cohesive lesson video.
    • One-Click Update: Edit the manuscript, regenerate the video—​done.

    Development Investment (Technical Implementation): High—​merges many AI & automation pieces.

    • LLM/API Calls:
      • Virtual Lecturer: HeyGen API or Synthesia API.
      • Script & Slide Generation: GPT-4 Turbo or Anthropic Claude 3.
    • Tech Stack:
      • Browser Automation: Playwright for scripted screencasts.
      • Video Composition: Remotion—​code-driven complex video structures.

    Traffic Acquisition & Validation Strategy (SEO Enhanced):

    • Step 1: Market Validation
      • Landing “Build Courses by Editing Text”: Headline: “Create and Update Your Entire Video Course by Editing Text.”
      • Creator Outreach: In Kajabi etc. communities, find posts complaining about production toil; convert one chapter for free to showcase speed.
    • Step 2: SEO-Driven Growth
      • Keyword Strategy:
        • Primary: "AI course creator", "eLearning video generator", "training video maker".
        • Long-Tail: "teachable video production alternative", "create a video course without showing your face", "automated instructional video".
      • Growth Flywheel: Blog posts (“5 AI Tools that 10× Course Production”) → free trial → pay for huge time savings → integrations with major course platforms.

    Potential Competitors & Analysis:

    • Key Competitors: Camtasia, Descript, Vyond.
    • Competitors’ Strengths:
      • Mature Products: Camtasia rules screencast editing; Descript excels at text-based edits.
    • Competitors’ Weaknesses:
      • Incomplete Workflow: They solve only fragments—​no end-to-end automation from outline to final video.
      • Depend on Humans: Users still record screens or voices themselves.
    • Our Opportunity:
      • Generative vs. Editing: We start from text; they start from existing footage—​a paradigm shift.
      • Course-First Design: Every feature targets structured teaching, out-classing generic tools.
