Hey fellow Hunters! I am Yasir ,Co-founder and CMO of Kroto. I was going through the traditional path of studying engineering, then pursuing an MBA, and landing a good job through conventional means. But then, one lazy afternoon, my friend Rose called me and said, 'Bro, I need help with sales.' He made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I started in mid-September in sales and tried my best. Together, we brainstormed countless ideas to land our first few customers, and after a lot of effort, we cracked our first deal. This set off a chain reaction of pitches and client meetings. We accomplished so much in such a short time, and I learned a lot along the way. I don't know if I'll ever be as good as Steve Jobs in sales, but that's the target I am setting for myself. I'll end with Brad Pitt's Oscar speech: 'Rose, I'll ride on your coattails any day, man. The view is fantastic.' Here's to the best team I've ever been a part of and will ever be. Cheers to Kroto. Cheers to taking risks. Cheers to innovation.

Hey there, fellow Hunters! I'm Saurabh, the Founding Engineer at Kroto. Allow me to take you back to our college days when I shared classrooms with our remarkable CEO, Rose Kamal (@rosekamallove), and our visionary CTO, Yuvraj Singh (@curiousyuvi). It was during our journey through the world of computer science that Rose unveiled an idea he had been nurturing since our freshman year. Fast forward to May 2023, as I was actively exploring internship opportunities, Rose gave me a call and asked a simple yet life-changing question, "Do you want to work at Kroto?" Without a moment's hesitation, I wholeheartedly replied, "No worries, I'm in." That marked the inception of my adventure with the Kroto team. The three of us, brainstorming tirelessly to birth new features, transforming conceptual ideas into intricate designs, and finally, breathing life into them through code. My time at Kroto has been nothing short of transformative. Not only has it elevated my coding skills to new heights, but it has also broadened my horizons when it comes to tackling challenges. Prior to my journey with Kroto, I often found myself doubting my capabilities when faced with adversity. Yet, with the experiences and knowledge gained here, I've adopted a new mantra - "I am the one who knocks!" Working with this incredible team has truly been the highlight of my life. Together, we are poised to take Kroto to the skies, and I couldn't be more thrilled about what the future holds. The best is yet to come! πŸš€πŸŒŸ

Hey fellow hunters! I'm Rose Kamal Love, founder and CEO of Kroto. Kroto is a platform that makes building and selling interactive courses incredibly easy. Creating courses is as easy as writing a notion page thanks to our Block Editor and AI Features. We are a team of 3 engineers and 1 sales guy and have been working iterating hard for the past 6 months to build the best course creation platform on the market. Why I made Kroto: I have always been learning skills through creators and educators online, who helped me get to my first internship and the next 3 after that and I realized the Universities are mostly dead and these creators and educators are the ones filling the gap between the industry needs and fresher's skills. But when I decided to build my own YouTube channel and start creating educational content I faced a lot of problems which I am trying to solve using Kroto. What you can do with Kroto: With Kroto, you can create the best courses on the planet with the highest retention rate there is, not only that you can also create events, ebooks, and live 1:1 as well as cohort-based coachings to take the retention through the roof! We handle payments, auth, hosting, and more so that you can focus on the thing that matters. Making great content. On the marketing side, we help authors by letting them do a presale and generate money before they commit many hours to making their course. And we also give free marketing and sales guidance to incoming creators! We have many ideas on how to make Kroto better in the future but we're excited to get it out in front of you all today!

@rosekamallove Hi Rose! Kroto seems like an excellent platform for content creators and educators. Simplifying course creation and providing tools for courses, events, ebooks, and coaching is fantastic. Could you share more about the AI features that assist in course creation and how Kroto differentiates itself from other e-learning platforms in the market?
Rose Kamal Love
@divyanshu_rajput1 Thank you so much man!
Rose Kamal Love
@tornike_tsiramua1 Thank you so much, man, here are the ways that Kroto differs from other players: - Normal video courses are not gonna cut it because only 13% of the courses bought are ever finished, Creators need to add interactivity to the course and it has to be frictionless otherwise the effort is not worth it. Currently, creators would need to resort to multiple platforms to add interactivity. - AI is being used by creators to generate content, but the traditional way of creating courses doesn't align with this workflow, our block editor makes the generation of the whole chapter with simple text prompts possible. This makes the process insanely fast and creators need insanely fast. - MCQs and Text content after a video is not the way interactivity is done, interactivity in coding courses means writing code and something outside of the chapter flow is not the solution, students should be able to do stuff and right where they are learning stuff. This is not limited to coding courses, design courses should allow users to submit designs and get them reviewed, and so on...

Congratulations on the launch team. It is an amazing product in making and as a content creator I can not be happier than this to get a product like Kroto in my use… more to come guys. πŸ™Œ
Rose Kamal Love
@tapasadhikary Thank you so much man, I remember you being there telling us our problems when we were going in a completely different direction, you are the best. You are as much a maker of this product as anyone else in the team!
David Neira
First and foremost, congratulations for the launch @rosekamallove Your story of transitioning from a learner benefiting from online courses to creating Kroto to solve the problems you faced is inspiring. It’s evident that Kroto is not just a platform but a solution born out of real-life experiences and needs in the online education sector.

Rose Kamal Love

Julien Ergan
The course outline generated by AI looks great to help getting started with the backbone of a structure. And as you include more generative AI in other parts of your product (lesson content, videos, screenshots, etc), it's insane to imagine how quickly anyone can create a course. With the massive amount of courses already available on the internet, sometimes it's hard to know which one to choose. Seeing how quickly anyone will be able to create a course on Kroto, users might face the same sense of being overwhelmed with too much choice. What you are thoughts to deal with this? Congrats on your launch.
Rose Kamal Love
@julienergan Thank you for your feedback and congratulations on our launch! We're aware of the potential issue of overwhelming choices as more users create courses on Kroto. To address this, we are implementing: Curated Recommendations: We'll provide expert-curated course suggestions. User Reviews and Ratings: Users can rate and review courses to help others make informed choices. Search and Filtering: Improved search and filtering tools to refine course options. Diverse Content: We'll ensure a wide range of course topics and teaching styles. Personalized Recommendations: AI-driven personalized course suggestions. Quality Assurance: Quality control measures to maintain high standards.
Julien Ergan
@rosekamallove thanks for your detailed answer. You've definitely thought it through, sounds like great measures to address that potential issue. All the best for the next steps.
Yasir Parvez
@julienergan Thanks for the praise, Julien. As far as being overwhelmed by the grandiosity of creating so many courses so quickly is concerned, I view it as a blessing in disguise for the creators. They can now apply trial and error on a grand scale, i.e., churn out more courses with way less effort, and see what works for them and what doesn't. They can hedge their risks and efforts accordingly. With the presale feature and the ability to produce a variety of courses in way less time, the creators can win in the long run.
Viswanatha Reddy
Congrats on the launch. I have thinking to launch a course on No-code automation, done some research, prepared the outline but couldn’t finish it. I would like to launch it soon. Does it help end to end course creation process ? All the best, Yuvraj.
Raj Gautam
@vijayatech_labs Yes , it helps in end-to-end course creation. We will be happy to onboard you on our platform.
Yuvraj Singh
@vijayatech_labs @raj_gautam1 As Raj said our platform is well desgined for end to end course creation and comes packed with almost all the things you'll need to launch your course right now, we would love to onboard you.
Rose Kamal Love
@vijayatech_labs Would love to get on a call and give you a walk-through of the product!
Congratulations Team Kroto-AI on the successful launch on Producthunt! Amazing work! Your tool truly positions creativity and interactivity in the heart of course creation. As a suggestion, it would be fantastic if we could also see an option to crowdsource course content or allow collaborations to make course creation even more dynamic and diverse. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what you do next!
Yasir Parvez
@manmohit Hi manmohit,thanks for the appreciation and we do have a collaboration feature when you join in as a creator on kroto.

@rosekamallove, Congrats on the launch of the Kroto team! I tried to create a course on Udemy once before, and thinking of the course structure was one of the most difficult parts. Kroto's ai based structure generation is wonderful, and I like the Starwars-like loading screen:) Do you plan to support multiple languages in the future? (For example, Japanese.)
Rose Kamal Love
@atsuhiro_teshima Hey, it's so nice to hear that the AI Course Structure is useful and the Star wars start screen is @curiousyuvi 's idea Kudos to him! Yes, if we have a customer requesting support for multiple languages we'd love to add that!
Hiro - Atsuhiro Teshima
@rosekamallove Probably, this is on your roadmap already, but if creators can add videos and images to the course description area. The course landing page would be even better. I'm looking forward to seeing how Kroto is going to evolve:)
Yuvraj Singh
@atsuhiro_teshima finally someone noticed the Starwars reference 😁.
Rose Kamal Love
@atsuhiro_teshima This is a great idea, we were a staying away with this one because the creators can mess up the design a bit, but I think there has to be a way to allow this and keep the design good!
Rose Kamal Love
@atsuhiro_teshima @curiousyuvi What do you think?
