I build AI systems for instructional design.

For 15+ years I’ve worked in eLearning.
Now I’m automating the parts everyone secretly hates:
• SME brain dumps
• Storyboard → Rise workflows
• Course media production
• AI-indexable SPAs

If you’re building with AI in L&D, we should talk.

@URRACO1982 @Jalopnik Have you driven one?

Right now Instructional Designers be like:

We just built a tool to extract all the content from a SCORM package so that you can quickly rebuild your course in any tool. We even have an MCP if you are building with AI. Great for moving off your current tool 😄

@jmarrapodi Im on twitter still :-) would love to hear your live thoughts

@sama How about you save the money from the party and use it to increase token limits

A fourth carrier with small cells in the plan is overdue. Band 70 for D2D and rooftop cells is an old densification playbook, and it works. I believe that’s the part to watch. https://t.co/iXmFb8wGgg

I couldn't resist, the Claude mascot reminds me so much of the old space invaders game.

Welcome to the party.

No matter where you built your course, #Claude, #Lovable, #Bolt, #ArticulateStoryline, #AdobeCaptivate

@Forbes @StevenBartlett Great podcast, congratulations!

SCORM was a necessary evil. After years of wrangling completion statuses and data silos, xAPI finally fixed the structural problem of LMS state tracking. The legacy process is the hardest bug to patch. #eLearning #LND

[James Kingsley @onEnterFrame]

Moving beyond SCORM. Modern learning pipelines need flexible data models—not rigid wrappers. The future is open standards and composable components. #InstructionalDesign #EdTech

We almost quit https://t.co/ba5emQohuj last month. We tried to be everything to everyone—AI image tool, course builder, video editor. It was a mess. Reality check: focus on the single highest-leverage thing. Build that first. 🧵 #StartupLife #Product

[James Kingsley @onEnterFrame]

Lesson learned: Don't over-engineer based on what *might* be a problem. Solve the core user pain point until it’s a solved, repeatable friction. Building for complexity debt is a sunk cost. Keep it simple. #StartupLife #EdTech

[James Kingsley @onEnterFrame]

The biggest gap in L&D isn't building the course content; it's forcing application. You can quiz people a thousand times, but actual ugh moment learning — the hard, unskippable moment of use—is the bottleneck. Focus on friction, not finesse. #eLearning #LnD #StartupLife

[James Kingsley @onEnterFrame]

Stop trying to build a generalist AI for #LnD. Focus on solving one single, nasty process problem first. That's where the compounding, repeatable value lies. Generalists sell features; specialists sell workflows. #EdTech #AI

[James Kingsley @onEnterFrame]

We spent a week optimizing the sign-up flow, only to find the real bottleneck was the initial user psychology. Turns out, a simple 15-sec tutorial beats a perfect funnel every time. Simplicity > complexity. #StartupLife #LnD
