Oboe is the world’s first generalized AI-powered learning platform. Oboe lets anyone instantly create educational courses to learn about any topic in a more personalized, efficient, and fun way than ever before.
Hello, Product Hunt Community! This is Nir Zicherman, CEO of Oboe. A while back, my cofounder Michael Mignano and I launched our first company, Anchor, right here on Product Hunt. The feedback from the community was incredibly helpful. Through rapid iteration, we scaled Anchor to become the world's biggest podcasting platform, and sold the company to Spotify.
Starting today, we're back with our brand new company, Oboe, the world’s first generalized AI-powered learning platform. Oboe makes it really easy for anyone instantly create educational courses to learn about any topic in a more personalized, efficient, and fun way than ever before.
Our mission with Oboe is to make humanity smarter. We're racing towards a future in which AI never stops gaining intelligence, replacing our agency, and growing ever more powerful. In this version of the future, humans exist to feed the AI, making it smarter, while we get stupider.
But that’s only one possible future. Humans have gotten this far by staying curious, soaking up knowledge, and educating ourselves and others. We now have access to possibly the greatest technology ever for learning. And so we imagine a different future: one in which the AI feeds us, and the power of AI is harnessed to democratize a love of learning across the globe.
Courses in Oboe are designed to be lightweight, beautiful, and fast. And when curiosity strikes, it’s easy to follow rabbit holes of discovery, letting you scratch your intellectual itches. We offer personalized recommendations that match your interests so you can easily decide what to learn next. In other words: You’re not guided by ad-supported algorithms. You are the guide.
Everything you experience in Oboe is rooted in the core belief that technology should make humans smarter. We accomplish this through our several core product principles. Oboe is:
* Personalized, continuing to get better the more you use it.
* Approachable, because no one should be intimidated by learning new things.
* Flexible, allowing you to learn how you want, when you want, without preconceived notions about the right way to do so.
* Fun, because that’s what learning should be.
Oboe is available to everyone in the world, starting right now. You can create up to 5 courses for free. After that, Oboe offers two paid tiers to let you continue your journey.
We'll be responding to feedback on here all day - let us know what you think!

Congrats on the launch! Such a cool approach to education, and the design looks really sharp.
Nice one! I do like how the courses are separated out into different sections and styles (short vs long, audio vs text). Will you guys be introducing videos as well? Options to change the tone to suit what people are more receptive towards (funny vs casual vs formal)?
Personalizing education is a huge unlock. Excited to see where this goes!
Most platforms feel like they’re just trying to grab attention, not actually teach anything. What’s been the most surprising course someone has created so far?
Love this idea! Congrats on the product, I bookmarked it to give it a test later.
Really impressed with the idea of Oboe! A generalized AI-powered learning platform sounds like a game-changer, making personalized courses instantly available for any topic is super powerful. Excited to see how learners and educators adopt this!
Congrats on the launch! I think you’ve nailed something really important — only genuine curiosity drives real education, and Oboe seems designed to nurture exactly that.
Love the idea of AI actually feeding our curiosity for once! The personalized course recommendations sound awesome—my reading list is always way too random. Super excited to dive in, Nir and team!
Congratulations on the launch! That's super interesting! As a life-long learner, I'll definitely try it. I just wonder, how to be sure that this knowledge is free from hallucinations/disinformation/wrong takeaways?
Really love this idea — it feels like when I ask ChatGPT to teach me something, but way more structured and organized. The interface also looks super clean and easy to follow.
Two small suggestions though:
1. After generating a course, the main content area on the right feels a bit cramped compared to the left-side outline. It might be more comfortable to read if the content took up more space.
2. For sections with audio, I often scroll ahead and then lose track of where the audio is currently reading. It’d be great if the part being read could be highlighted or styled differently so it’s easy to follow along.
Congrats on the launch! Really like the idea of using AI to make learning more accessible and curiosity-driven. Looking forward to seeing where you take it.
Obeo is a boon for life-long learners! The ability to create personalized lessons on any topic with just a prompt is revolutionary. AI will also generate learning outlines, voices, quizzes, etc. Whether you're curious about science, history, or pop culture, Obeo makes learning fun and accessible. I wonder if Obeo will crack down on bloggers who rely on monetizing their knowledge and selling courses🤣
