Hey! Peer-to-peer learning is really very helpful. Congratulations on the launch
Lorenz Sell
@kavyaaatripathi Thanks Kavya. We're hopeful that this is the beginning of an entirely new wave of peer to peer learning experiences online :-)
Natasha Sell
@kavyaaatripathi Thank you so much for your support. For me it's the best way I learn and retain and integrate my learning, is when I do it with others.

Congratulations on your launch to Product Hunt. The word Conversational course speaks itself. Can't wait to see it in real action.
Lorenz Sell
@mniroula Thanks Mohan. We're super excited to see what emerges with all the real world possibilities. I welcome your feedback. Have you ever created an online course?
Natasha Sell
@mniroula Thanks so much Mohan...yeah we first called them Interactive Journeys, but have settled on Conversational Courses, which is much more clear on what we've created. Thank you for your support!

Really excited to see Sutra hitting PH! The concept of AI-facilitated conversational courses is a total game changer for online learning. Engagement and completion rates have been such a struggle in e-learning, so this approach feels refreshing. Kudos to you, Lorenz and the team! Can't wait to explore the interactive demo!
Lorenz Sell
@elke_qin Thanks Elke. I totally agree, there is so much room for improvement in online learning. We're hopeful that by bringing a conversational, peer to peer dimension, we can change the relationship that people have to online courses in a good way.
Natasha Sell
@elke_qin Thank you so much! We’re on a mission to transform the way that people learn together online 🚀 As an educator myself it was painful for me to see so much amazing content online just be wasted because people weren't getting through it. There is so much value in learning with peers and share ideas with each other as we're going through and experience....I can't wait for people to try this and shift the status quo of online learning.

The idea of AI-driven learning experiences is fascinating, but how does Sutra address potential biases in its AI engine?

Create connections that last right! Congrats on the launch 🙌
Lorenz Sell
@alexdigitalmkt Thanks Alexandre. Learning together is one of the best ways to create connections that last!
Monique Lonardi
@alexdigitalmkt Absolutely! Building lasting connections is at the heart of what we do. Thank you for the support! 🙌
Natasha Sell
@alexdigitalmkt We are constantly thinking about how to create more meaningful connections between the people who participate in online programs. Literally we live and breathe this.... ha ha. Thanks for your support!

Really like the concept of having an interactive course that needs efforts from the student. This should increase course completion by a lot, really interested in how this plays out. Kudos on the launch!
Lorenz Sell
@uttiya_roy1 Thanks for the support Uttiya. We're super excited to see all the ways that people work with this new approach to creating courses.
Monique Lonardi
@uttiya_roy1 Thank you! We’re excited about how interactive elements can boost engagement and course completion. Thanks for your support!
Natasha Sell
@uttiya_roy1 it does take more effort from the learner, but if they are signing up to take a course, it needs to have value and impact on their life, so yes effort is needed, but the reward is so much greater when there are others you're connecting with who are going through this experience at the same time.
Uttiya Roy
@natashasell I actually think it's a great strategy, you become more invested as you put in effort

I’ve been using Sutra for a while now, supporting different creators and their amazing courses, but this new feature really caught me by surprise 😱 Who knew something so simple could make such a huge difference? 🤯 The way it fosters deeper, more meaningful interactions with the content—even just a 3-minute video—and between participants is incredible. It’s no longer just a boring video lesson with some homework; it’s like the learning truly comes alive! You see others engaging, sharing insights you might not have even considered, and suddenly you’re curious, jumping back onto the platform to see more and share your own thoughts. Sutra has always been about connecting people through learning, and this feature amplifies that connection in such a powerful way. Bravo @lorenzsell and @natashasell👏🏻
Lorenz Sell
@natashasell @yanainstructionaldesigner so great to see you here Yana! Sutra is only half the equation. The other half is the creator and you've created so many amazing experiences on our platform. Thanks for your support :-)
Monique Lonardi
@yanainstructionaldesigner We’re thrilled to hear you’re excited about the new feature! It’s fantastic to know it’s making learning more engaging and interactive. Thanks for your support and insights!
Natasha Sell
@yanainstructionaldesigner thank you so much for sharing this feedback here, it truly touches my heart. You are absolutely right, it is a pretty simple approach, or if you think about it, we're just implementing what works well in the world, learning in groups, connecting around shared ideas, sharing how we might apply something in our own context, etc. And it's so powerful to see the experience come alive through these insightful conversation between strangers : ) Thanks for your support today!

Congrats on the launch, @lorenzsell! Sutra sounds like a revolutionary approach to online learning. The high dropout rates in existing courses are indeed a major issue, and your solution to integrate AI for enhanced engagement and peer connection is impressive. The Notion-like editor and the conversational prompts are innovative features that could really drive completion rates. I love the idea of transforming self-paced courses into dynamic experiences. Can't wait to try the interactive demo! This seems like a solid MVP for anyone looking to up their online course game. Wishing you all the best on your journey!
Lorenz Sell
@ema_elisi Thanks for the kind words Ema. We're hopeful this is just the beginning of a new way of amazing peer to peer learning experiences. Really appreciate your support!
Natasha Sell
@ema_elisi Thank you so much for your support. Yes, I believe the self paced online learning space is ready for a transformation where the value of learning from other peers is included in the experience and makes it come alive for people. I can't wait for you to try it and continue talking.
