Hello Product Hunt community! I am thrilled to present Heights AI Coach: the first autonomous AI coach that helps entrepreneurs grow. ⛰️ The idea for an AI that can coach you started from the desire to help as many creators as possible and to help them access the knowledge and resources they need to build a thriving business. Since I founded Heights Platform (the all-in-one course creation and community-building software) 5 years ago, I have been in contact with countless creators and solopreneurs. I have learned that creators are so passionate about the products and content they build. However, they sometimes lack the knowledge of how to grow their business, market it and show what they have created to the world. I want to help as many creators as possible and share what I know with them. But with thousands of customers and growing, it is impossible to coach each creator one-on-one. Thanks to AI, this is no longer an impossibility. Heights AI Coach combines all the knowledge that my team and I have accumulated over the years. It lives inside your Heights Platform account - where you can create online courses, membership communities, and sell digital products - and runs 24/7 behind the scenes, learning about the products you build, and asking you questions to uncover your unique goals. After a quick chat with Heights AI Coach about what you are working on + your struggles and wins, your coach begins to automatically generate weekly tasks and recommendations - tailored to your unique situation and goals. Our hope is that Heights AI Coach will help creators and solopreneurs, regardless of their marketing knowledge and budget, to grow an online business that thrives. Thank you for being part of our launch day. Your support is so important. I am looking forward to hearing all of your feedback! 🎁 P.S. We have put together a small gift for our Product Hunt community! It is a cheatsheet of prompts that you can use in ChatGPT and Heights AI Chat! You can download it free here: https://www.heightsplatform.com/...

@jeffrey_davis2 thanks Jeffrey. No discounts right now. Lots of excitement around Heights AI Coach being included free for existing customers, but I appreciate your offer.
Austyn
@bryanmcanulty Does this help with goal setting outside of business?
Bryan McAnulty
@wetalkinbigmoney great question Austyn. While it can, it performs best when the goals are related to your business. This is in part because it can see the digital products, courses, and community you are building in your Heights account, and better understand where you are at and how you are growing, by doing its own analysis. Certainly you could share (as much as you are comfortable) with your coach that some personal challenges or projects might be blocking your progress in business, and your coach will be able to take this into account, as well as help you make improvements around areas like mindset.

Heights Platform simply never stops delivering. I've been with them for over three years now. An AI coach is the perfect companion for my current and future courses. I'm already getting a ton of value from it. So glad to see this here getting so much love from the PH community.
Bryan McAnulty
@paulcolabrain Thank you Paul! I really appreciate your continued support over these past 3 years, and I am glad you see Heights AI Coach as the perfect companion!

@bryanmcanulty When I bought Heights in February 2020 it was one out of three course platforms, I invested in during a couple of months I must admit I believed more that another platform would mature in a way that would make it the best choice out of the three I decided to purchase hoping that at least one would become a solid and mature course platform. Now, three and a half year later I feel I can share my opinion regarding which of the platforms have become the obvious choice. It's without a doubt Heights that is the "winner". I'm impressed by how you have continued to develop Height during these years. Awesome work you have managed to accomplish! :-) I have only quickly looked at Heights AI so far, but based on what I've seen it seem as a great and useful addition to a platform that already was amazing! Keep up the splendid work with Heights!
Bryan McAnulty
@danielnordmark wow, I’m so glad to hear that Daniel! Glad to have you with us for 3+ years now.

I'm interested in trying your platform and just signed up, but I'm concerned about something I'm seeing from the beginning. Your UI puts a lot of emphasis on "courses." My concept is a fictional fantasy world. My products will be characters, stories, associated merchandise, and eventually bigger products like novels and visual media. Where do "courses" fit into this plan? (To be fair, I've seen an emphasis on "courses" in other business-management products marketed to creative people such as authors.)
Bryan McAnulty
@jay_bienvenu thanks for signing up Jay! Depending on what you have to offer, using our digital products and bundles feature might be more appropriate. I understand the desire and wanting to fully customize the language used for what different types of products are called though. Actually, this is something other creators have requested as well and is a planned feature coming soon! I can't share an exact ETA or make a promise to a specific timeframe, but I do expect it in the next couple of months as we have already began work on it. The idea would be that you'll be able to write in your own language customizations to rename "courses", "lessons", etc, to whatever wording you choose to fit most appropriately with your brand, and this would apply throughout your program. I've noted your request for this as well, but if you want we can notify you as soon as it is ready if you send out support an email so we know how to get in touch with you. Thanks again!
Christal Wang
Appreciate this use case so much, because it's not just a narrow vertical but actually has thought through a lot of the elements a creator or solopreneur actually needs—e.g. generating the task list, keeping you accountable, etc. And visualized in a non-overwhelming way! This has lots of legs and I'll be sharing with our community (we do ADHD coaching so lots of solopreneurs) for sure. Adding it to our list of resources. Best of luck!
Bryan McAnulty
@christal So glad to hear that Christal, and I'm glad that you recognize the thought we've put into it! Thank you, and yes, that sounds like a great match with what you do!

Congrats on this launch, Bryan & team! We're working with lots of coaches, so I'm definitely sharing this.

Sanjay Sharma
Creating a course is difficult; but with Heights AI, the task becomes a step easier. The AI helps with brainstorming ideas, creating outlines, and generating some content for your class.
Bryan McAnulty
@sanjay_sharma11 thanks Sanjay. That's some of what Heights AI Chat can do. You can think of Heights AI chat as a copilot assistant, whereas Heights AI Coach acts as your personal coach, constantly learning about your business and automatically generating tasks and recommendations.
Harris Cheng
Hey @bryanmcanulty , congrats on the launch! Wondering why did you pick creators as the early target audience? Thanks!
Bryan McAnulty
@harrischh thanks Harris! A couple of reasons why: 1. As a creator myself selling online, I wasn't satisfied with what was available at the time, lots of marketing tools, nothing that offered a good learning or community experience. (This was back when I started building Heights on the side of my other businesses in 2015. We launched in 2018.) 2. I'm passionate about learning, and I believe that more and more people will turn to learning from creators who are masters of a specific skill over traditional education. The problem is those creators need the tools to succeed in building an online knowledge business, and they aren't necessarily master instructional designers, so they need a tool that is designed to help their students learn.
Joshua Kubicki
Thoughtful founder. Great product. Very creator-friendly with limited friction in the course creation and delivery experience. This is one more advancement that removes even more friction and helps 10x your creativity and productivity. Great work!
Bryan McAnulty
@joshua_kubicki so glad to hear that Joshua, and glad you are creating on Heights!
Nathan Lively
Looks amazing! The first question that came to find after seeing the summary: Is the coach for me or my students? Is it helping me build my Heights school or helping my students get through their courses?
Bryan McAnulty
@nathandofrango thanks Nathan! This is helping you build your Heights program and products. In the future, we think it would be neat to be able to create something similar that you could offer your students to help them learn, but that is a whole different challenge because of the vast differences in creators and what they teach and offer. We are considering something like showing AI-generated action items or tasks related to your lesson that you could choose to include for your students, and we'll be exploring more ideas like that in the near future!

This is pure innovation! Great job, team! 🌟

@imlindsay thank you Lindsay!
David OBrien
Sometimes creating new courses from scratch can seem like an insurmountable task. I've used the preview version of Heights AI, it's a amazing and makes course creation achievable. I used it to tease out course ideas, target audience, marketing hooks and then it sets up weekly tasks. It's not just a bit that does tasks but an expert consultant to guide you. 5 stars, game changer!
Bryan McAnulty
@iamasuperuser glad to hear you've had success creating with our Heights AI Chat features already. Looking forward to seeing how you grow with Heights AI Coach!

This looks interesting. I gotta try out the tool
