Where you spend your time

Your time is money

We know how your week actually goes

Most course creators are not short on knowledge to share; they are short on hours to run the business around it. Student onboarding, drip emails, community moderation, affiliate tracking, and refund requests fill the week before a single new lesson gets recorded.

Actionist builds AI agents for Course Creators that handle the operational work, so you can spend your time on the content and community that actually grows your audience.

What matters to you

Students who feel welcomed
The first hour after enrolment sets the tone for completion rates.
Drips that actually land
Lesson sequences sent at the right pace keep students progressing.
Community that stays active
An engaged community drives word-of-mouth and reduces churn.
Launches that convert
Every webinar, waitlist, and email sequence needs to run on time.
Revenue tracked cleanly
Refunds, chargebacks, and affiliate payouts handled without a spreadsheet mess.
Built around your team
These are examples. Build a custom agent for any job you repeat.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Course Creators team's day.

Triggers and Reactions

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

WhenA new student enrolsfires within about a minute

The agent automatically

The moment a new enrolment arrives from Kajabi, Teachable, or Stripe, the agent picks it up within about a minute, sends the personalised welcome email, sets up the student's Skool or Circle community access, and logs them in your Airtable student tracker. Every message and access change waits for your one-pass approval before anything reaches the student, so every new member gets a first-class welcome without you remembering to send it.

Trust & control

You stay in control

An AI agent works inside your real course platform, your community, and your payment processor, so staying in control matters. Actionist is built to be supervised: you decide how much each agent does on its own, you approve what reaches your students, and every step is recorded for you to check.

You set the supervision

Choose how much each agent does on its own, from drafting for approval to handling trusted routine work. Anything destructive, like revoking access or processing a refund, always asks first. That cannot be turned off.

Approve from your phone

Agents can reach you over Telegram or Slack, so you approve a student reply or a refund decision with one tap, from wherever you are.

Every run is logged

Each run is recorded step by step, with screenshots and a full transcript, so you can see exactly what the agent read and did with a student's details.

Your data stays yours

Credentials are encrypted in a vault and never shown again, memory stays on your own machine, and you can self-host Actionist on your own server.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will it really welcome my students fast enough, and how does it know what to say?

Speed is the whole point. The agent watches for new enrolments in your course platform and picks them up within about a minute, whatever the hour. It reads the student's name, course, and any intake form they filled in, drafts a personalised welcome email using your tone and template, and logs them in your tracker. You teach it your voice and key details once, and until you trust it, every welcome waits for your approval. A student welcomed in minutes instead of hours starts the course with the right first impression.

We use Kajabi and Skool but nothing connects them. Can Actionist still automate across both?

Yes, because Actionist operates your tools the way a person does, by reading the screen and clicking, typing, and navigating. It reaches software with no API at all: your course platform back-end, your community, the membership settings your students access every day. Where an app offers a clean connection it uses it; where it does not, the desktop agent simply works the screen with your approval. You do not need to wait for a native Kajabi-to-Skool integration to be built. Screen automation runs on the desktop app.

Will it email my students or post in my community without me seeing it first?

Not unless you decide it should. By default every reply, email sequence, community post, and refund decision is drafted and waits for your approval before anything reaches a student. Approval Modes let you move at your own pace: from suggest, to ask each time, to a guarded auto for trusted routine jobs like freebie delivery. Anything that affects a student account or sends money always asks first, and that cannot be turned off. Agents reach you on Telegram or Slack, so you can approve or reword with one tap from anywhere.

What about student questions that come in at night or over the weekend?

That is when most students have time to reach out. On the desktop app an agent works while the app is open. To handle student support, community replies, and failed payment alerts unattended overnight and on weekends, you move those agents to the hosted cloud runtime on a paid plan and they keep working while your laptop is closed. You stay in approval mode, so nothing reaches a student without the sign-off you have configured.

Is this going to replace my community manager or course support person?

No. It takes the repetitive admin off their plate, not the relationship work. The hours saved are the ones spent reading every community post, answering the same login question again, manually matching affiliate links to enrolments, or assembling the monthly numbers by hand. With that overhead gone, your team can focus on the things that actually drive retention: deep engagement, real coaching conversations, and content that makes students succeed.

Can I build an agent for the specific way my course business runs?

Yes. The teams and jobs shown on this page are examples, not the limit. You can build a custom AI agent for course creators around any task you repeat: sending a mid-course check-in survey at the halfway point, posting a community win digest every Monday, chasing coaches for session notes each Friday, or generating a certificate as soon as a student hits 100 percent. You describe the job in plain English, connect the apps you use, and tell it when to run. Most creators start with one agent on their biggest weekly time-sink and add more as they see the hours saved.

Is my student data and payment information kept private?

Your data stays yours. Credentials for Stripe, Kajabi, ConvertKit, and every other tool are encrypted in a vault and never shown again. The agent's memory of how your business works stays on your own machine and your students' information is never used to train models. Every action the agent takes is logged step by step with screenshots, so you can see exactly what it read and did with a student's details or payment data. If you need everything on your own infrastructure, you can self-host Actionist.

Do I need to be technical, and how long before my first agent is running?

No code required, and most course creators have their first agent running the same day. If you can write a brief for a virtual assistant, you can brief an agent: describe the job in plain English. Connecting ConvertKit, Kajabi, or Stripe is a guided one-click approval that takes about a minute. You keep the agent in approval mode while you build confidence, then hand over the routine work once it has proved itself. The most common first agent is student welcome emails or refund-request triage.

What does it cost, and will it save more than it costs for a small creator?

It is designed to pay for itself in hours back. A single agent typically lifts five or more hours of admin off a solo creator or small team each week, and the speed-to-welcome alone tends to improve student completion rates. What you pay scales with how many agents you run and whether any run unattended in the cloud, so most creators start with one agent on their biggest time-drain and add more as it proves out. Book a free demo and we will map the time and admin it would save for your specific creator setup.
