Guinea Pigs generates synthetic students that navigate your online courses and surface exactly where learners get confused, drop off, or fail. Fix courses before they break.
Used by instructional designers to test courses before launch — catch confusion, drop-off risk, and pacing issues before real students do.
You spend weeks building a course. Then you launch it, wait for student feedback, interpret vague survey responses, and guess what went wrong. The first cohort is always the guinea pig. What if you could skip that entirely?
Drop in your course text, upload a document, or paste a link. Our AI breaks it into structured modules that can be navigated like a real course.
Select from 10 diverse AI personas — first-gen learners, ESL students, working parents, visual learners, and more. Each navigates your content differently.
Receive a module-by-module report: where students got confused, where they dropped off, and what to fix first. PDF export included.
Test courses across diverse student populations before launch. Especially powerful for institutions expanding to new regions where student demographics shift.
Validate compliance training, onboarding flows, and skill-building programs. Ensure new hires across different roles and experience levels can complete training successfully.
Stop losing students at Module 3. Identify exactly where your Udemy, Teachable, or Kajabi course loses engagement and fix it before you lose revenue.
Quality-assure thousands of courses at scale. Integrate Guinea Pigs into your content pipeline to automatically flag courses with high predicted drop-off rates.
Every adjacent product solves human review workflow — gathering reviewer comments, managing sign-offs, tracking feedback threads. Guinea Pigs does something different: it simulates what learners actually experience.
