Kajabi?

KINDAYou can build the valuable core, but the established product has meaningful operational complexity. Pick one narrow promise for v1.

BUILD FIRST

One specific customer type and one primary use case
A vertical slice that completes the main job without manual workarounds
Visible limits, review steps, and a fallback when an external dependency fails

LEAVE FOR LATER

Broad third-party integrations
High-scale collaboration, syncing, and permissions
Automation that can cause harm without human review

RESEARCH NOTES

What this tool actually does.

Checked 2026-09-06

Kajabi is an all-in-one creator commerce platform for knowledge businesses. It bundles course creation (video, audio, text, downloads), coaching (1:1 and group), membership sites, communities, newsletters, podcasts, and digital products. Built-in tools include landing pages, email marketing, checkout with subscriptions/upsells/downsells/order bumps, automation, funnels, and analytics. Courses support modules/submodules, quizzes, paywalls, drip/schedule status, certificates, live sessions, and evergreen or cohort formats. Content can be delivered via web, the Kajabi mobile app, or a branded mobile app. An AI assistant ('Cofounder') generates outlines, lessons, transcripts, translations, dubbing, and marketing assets. Kajabi takes no revenue share; creators own their audience, branding, and customer data. Pricing is tiered by plan features.

RESEARCHED BUILD PROMPT

Give this to your coding agent.

Build a self-hosted 'Creator Commerce Hub' that replicates the core Kajabi workflow without copying its branding or UI. The workflow: a creator signs up, creates a product (course, membership, or digital download), structures content into modules/lessons with video and PDFs, sets a price (one-time or subscription), builds a landing page with an email capture form, accepts payments, automatically enrolls buyers, sends drip-scheduled lessons or grants membership access, and runs email campaigns/automations. Admin can view analytics (revenue, active members, email open rates). User-facing requirements: creator dashboard for content management; member portal with progress tracking and certificates; checkout with Stripe subscriptions; email delivery via Resend/SES; landing page builder with templates; role-based access (admin, creator, member). Technical requirements: Next.js or React front end, Node/PostgreSQL backend (or Supabase), Prisma ORM, Stripe webhooks for payment events, Redis or a job queue for drip scheduling, AWS S3 or Cloudflare R2 for media, JWT auth. Implement a minimal WYSIWYG for landing pages and a drag-and-drop module builder. Explicitly out of scope: native mobile apps, AI content generation (Cofounder), advanced analytics, multi-currency tax automation, CRM, A/B testing, and an enterprise-grade email builder. Do not use Kajabi's logo, colors, layout, or marketing text; create an original design. Deliver a README with setup steps (env vars, migrations, Stripe test mode, seed data) and important limitations (single-tenant, no marketplace, no cohosting, email rate limits, webhook security).

Do not copy the original brand, proprietary assets, or UI; create an original visual system.
