Skool is the right product for a creator selling video courses + community access. We're the right product for a creator selling an AI skill, something that lives in your buyer's daily workflow, not a tab they remember to open. If your offer is video → stay on Skool. If your offer is a skill your buyers want running in the background → switch.
