The Future of Online Courses is Here

Dec 14, 2025

For years, I’ve built Kajabi courses the traditional way:

  • Video-based lessons with workbooks
  • Downloads
  • Clear action steps

And that still works - to a point.

But no matter how much effort you put into production, a standard course delivers the same outcome for everyone who takes it.

That’s fine if all your learners have the same needs. But they don’t.

Some get stuck on a specific step and drop out. Others skip parts they think don’t apply, then miss something critical.

And for those with unique goals, generic content can feel like it’s not speaking directly to them.

So I started blending my course creation with AI - specifically, a custom-built ChatGPT tool.

Here’s how it works:

  • The traditional Kajabi course gives structure, personality, and clear instructions.
  • The custom AI coach asks each learner targeted questions, drills into their biggest challenges, and guides them step-by-step toward a solution that’s unique to them.
  • One system directs the user to the other when needed.

Instead of everyone finishing with the same generic plan, each learner leaves with a personalised outcome that fits their exact situation.

The benefits are clear:

  • Learners get tailored answers to their problems.
  • They keep moving when they hit a sticking point - no more disappearing after Lesson 3.
  • Completion rates go up because they feel supported every step of the way.
  • They get the experience of having me “on call” 24/7, without me needing to be in the room.

 

For my 30-Day Coach course, this approach has been the perfect fit.

The videos give high-value, instructional content, while the AI ensures every learner can apply it directly to their own business.

It’s the best of both worlds - the structure and authority of a polished course, with the personalisation of a 1:1 coaching experience.

And in the world of online learning, that’s the difference between “another course they bought” and “the course that changed everything.”

 

In summary

Most courses give everyone the same experience. Yours doesn’t have to.

With the right mix of video and AI, you can make every learner feel like the course was built just for them.

Which means, more completion rates, more recommendations, more business.

If you’d like help implementing this in your business, book a call with me.

AI Tip of the Week

Make your Kajabi videos fully searchable in minutes.

Kajabi doesn’t let you search inside videos, but you can make the text under them searchable.

Here’s how I do it:

  • Record your lesson video as normal.
  • Create captions/transcript using Descript, or similar.
  • Paste the transcript into AI (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) and ask it to create:
    • A concise, benefit-led lesson description.
    • Key takeaways or bullet points.
  • Add this text under your video in the lesson description.


Why it works:

  • Students can search course text to find exactly what they need.
  • Gives them a clear, quick summary of each lesson.
  • Improves accessibility and user experience.

Our Kajabi Life: When you end up in the mosh pit...

Carlos Santana on Stage

 If you’re old enough to remember Santana, we can stay friends...

If you’re not, well, let's just say I’m jealous.

I believe that when opportunities come along, you have to grab them before they’re gone.

So when we heard that the legend was playing in Seville, we were all in.

However...

By the time we booked, there were no seats left, so we ended up front-stage in the mosh pit.

I'll be honest, it had been a while, but we gave it out best moves.

The (slightly fuzzy) next day, we were saying how lucky we are to have this on our doorstep, and how Kajabi gives us the freedom to do these things. 

Because we’re not building businesses for the sake of it.

We’re building them to create a life we don’t need a holiday from.

Here's to more irresponsible adulting while we can.

It's a Kajabi life!

What I’m taking into 2026, and what I’m not
If the Christmas season feels like it’s dragging on, you should try living in Spain. Here, the Three Kings roll into town with parades on 5 January, and the main gift day on the 6th. Talk about stretching it out. Talking of stretching things, if I eat another polvorón or mantecado, my new wetsuit will be getting chopped in for an XL. Anyway, back to the waves before Jules comes home (see below)...
ChatGPT 5.2 + Nano Banana, and Why the Small Stuff Wins
Bad news. Santa Claus isn’t coming this year. See below 🙃 And don’t blame me, I was happily minding my own business when it happened... I’m trying a slightly different format this week using Kajabi’s Newsletter Product. So bear with me if the formatting looks like it's had a few too many Sherries, we’ll blame the tech and crack on.   What’s inside: ChatGPT 5.2 + “the banana”, a fruit bowl made...
The Coaching “Gold Rush” Is Over. The Specialist Era is Here
I’m not the most festive guy in the world, but I do have an early Chrimbo pressie for you… If signing clients feels harder than it used to, you’re not imagining it. The coaching market has shifted. What worked in 2020 won't work in 2026. The early boom is behind us, and we’ve entered a phase where clarity, specialisation and structure carry more weight than hustle. 🔎 The Three Pillars You Need ...
