The Opportunity

Problem

Edtech founders suffer massive user churn in small business marketing courses as users sign up but abandon without completing, obliterating LTV.

Solution

PathPilotAI monitors user struggles and dynamically adjusts course content, skipping/suggesting modules based on quiz performance and time spent. It rebuilds LTV by ensuring relevant learning for small business owners. Edtech operators deploy in minutes via API.
