The challenge
- Static question banks bore learners and produce poor retention.
- UK theory test covers a long tail of edge cases hard to author by hand.
- Solo learners drop off without competitive, social mechanics.
Approach
- Adaptive engine that re-weights questions based on a learner's miss pattern.
- OpenAI-backed explanation generation, gated by author-reviewed prompts.
- Gamified leaderboards and daily streaks to drive repeat sessions.
- Stripe-powered subscription with a friction-light free tier.
Outcome
- Launched a full AI SaaS end-to-end as a solo engineer.
- Daily-active retention driven by streaks + leaderboards.
- Author time per new question cut dramatically by AI-assisted drafting.
