@ryonatan Thanks for the support Jonathan. Right now you're able to use the app on mobile and we're working on a native app version!
The onboarding process looks simple! Well done to all! Excited to see more creators sharing knowledge. Can you explain a bit more about the support?
@zammitjames Hey James! Our Course Manager and "AVID Coach" will lead you through a step-by-step guided process to creating your course, where you will shape your course concept, generate a teaser, create a course structure, and more. The Manager will guide you through every step of the way, it's like having a personal coach.
I LOVE this idea! It’s not just audio courses (great in itself) but also the ability to crowdfund your course and start selling before it’s finished. Honestly sounds like a well-thought out and useful platform for creators and learners alike. If the in-platform course discovery is robust enough, it’d be pretty much perfect.
@anna_0x Thanks Anna for your comment Anna, so pleased you like the idea. The crowdfunding feature is unique and means you can test ideas quickly and pre-sell before producing your course.
@jason_cooper3 maybe you could even take it over step ahead by letting learners suggest and vote on course ideas. Then course creators can take it upon themselves to fulfill the learners’ wishes and create the courses they want.
@andreatoso Thank you! We are super excited to be innovating within the online learning space :)
This looks great! Might have been answered before already, but what's the difference between a podcast and an audio course?
@franz_schrepf Thanks Franz, great question! You can ask similarly how are video courses different to Youtube videos :). The depth of content and curation is the real differentiator. And also a dedicated learning and engagement space amongst the learners and creators.
@new_user_76df56ca9c Thank you :) For us, it's important to make the process smooth and UX friendly and easy to navigate. So happy you can feel it! Do let us know how you get on when you test one of the courses :)
This might have been asked before... but is there a community element around the platform? I always find it easier to stay motivated if i know other learners.
@cedric_lam Hi Cedric! Great point, and the answer is yes :) Especially with cohort-based courses that have the same start and end date from a group of learners! The best of asynchronous learning
This is brilliant! AVID.FM brings the ability to co-create with an audience that much closer. Looking forward to testing the platform out for an upcoming project from our podcast.
Might just be what I needed, very cool and congrats on the launch!!
Do you have some examples of courses / topics that work well in audio vs others that would be better as video?
@thomas_mckinlay1 Hi Thomas, great question! There are course ideas that intuitively with audio first - important to highlight it's audio-first, not audio-only. But from our experience, you can even teach photography through audio-first approach! It's more about making sure the learners engage with their imagination :)
@vicky_e Our learners achieve up to 83% completion rate. Let us know how you get on :)
This looks great! Do you have a plan to open this up for businesses as well or only creators for now?
This is exactly what I need!
@manav_c Hi Manav, Thanks for the question. Yes we are going to make this available to businesses. Drop us a line via chat on the site and we can follow up!
Hi Product Hunt 👋
Charlotte here, founder of AVID.FM 🚀 I am excited to celebrate with the Product Hunt community the launch of AVID’s Creator Studio!
Looking at my own experience, I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for audio learning - back then even with cassette tapes 🙈🎧 I learned languages and even how to code.
That’s why we built AVID - the best platform to create and listen to audio course 🎧
Through loads of trial and error, we developed a framework for more effective learning AND 5x faster course creation by going audio first!
The best part is that our audio-first courses have achieved up to 83% completion rate, compared to 5% for traditional online courses.
So how does AVID help creators share their knowledge? We make sure you produce content that learners love by crowdfunding courses at the idea stage. Through our creation & launch method, you get to enjoy results 5x faster. On the flip side, learners get to influence how a course is shaped, and engage with learning anywhere without being restricted by screen.
AVID empowers anyone to share and be rewarded for their knowledge.

Your AVID Team 🎧
@charlotte_zhao this looks awesome! New thing to take the place of podcasts on my tube rides :)
@charlotte_zhao Audio sounds intriguing, but do you also have an option to show slides or diagrams in case something is a bit more technical?
@thijl_klerkx2 Hi Thijl! Yes, we are audio-first, not audio-only. So if you need to add supplementary materials, you can! And learners love the asynchronous approach. It becomes a bit of a fun puzzle - what a learner might have visualized at first vs what's on the diagram created by the teacher :) The wait before seeing allows more introspection and imagination.
@charlotte_zhao 79% of audio consumption takes place in places visual media can't reach - that just says it all for the opportunity available! 🙌
Great product! The visuals are very unique and the overall user experience is very smooth. Well done to the team for bringing this to market.
