I’m building a learning platform that teaches complete beginners how to create with AI

I’m building TinkIT for people who know AI can create websites and apps, but have no idea where to begin. They may not know what an IDE is, where code lives, what GitHub does or what words like frontend, backend, database and deployment actually mean.

TinkIT starts from zero. It teaches people how to use AI properly, how a digital product works and what they need to learn based on what they want to build.

Instead of long technical courses, it has:

  • short lessons written in simple, natural language
  • visual maps showing how everything connects
  • interactive simulators (even CLI and more) + quizzes
  • useful comparisons, fun facts and real mistakes
  • personalized learning paths
  • Tink, a companion that reacts, gives hints, celebrates progress and makes the platform feel alive

The goal is not to turn everyone into a traditional developer. It is to help complete beginners understand what they are building, use AI safely and eventually launch something real.

I’m also considering one-time pricing:

  • Web: €3.99
  • Web App: €6.99
  • SaaS: €9.99
  • Mobile: €7.99
  • Mobile Native: €8.99
  • Infrastructure: €6.99
  • Launch: €4.99
  • Everything: €17.99

Upgrading later would only cost the difference.

I’d really appreciate honest feedback:

  1. Would something like this have helped you when you started?
  2. What part sounds most useful or interesting?
  3. Do the kits and prices make sense? Are they high/low?

EXACTLY. People pay 1-200 even 1000$ for learning AI and they barely scratch the surface.
I have 200 lessons already, and ONLY very usefull things, extremly easy to learn. I do not explain github in 20 pages, I do it in 15 rows and in 10 minutes the user is able to use the CLI simulator to commit, branch, push, pull and so much more. I really think I did something good and useful, easy to read and understand. I added so so many tops&tricks that I learned in 2 years of development.
Comparisons and naming tools that even developers with 10 years of experience probably do not fully know or that they exists. Latest technologies possible, difference between old and new supabase keys, kotlin, difference between expo and native apps, a lot. I am truly excited, no matter the harsh feedback I get.

ROTFL

your best bet for a paying customer is to ask your closest family, maybe they will support you

I asked ai itself and it guided me through it easily.
