Challenge

Getting into UX has only grown harder, and a growing share of the help for newcomers now comes at a price. I already had six or seven books of UX content in a knowledge base, which made the opportunity clear: build my own skills with AI while turning that material into something anyone could learn from, at no cost.

Build

Each lesson follows real instructional design. A prompt to the Books RAG produces the primary and secondary learning objectives, and from those it builds an outline and a script mapped to Bloom's Taxonomy and Gagné's Nine Events of Instruction, so the teaching moves in a defensible sequence. The self-assessment is drawn from those same objectives, so the quiz measures exactly what the lesson set out to teach.

From the finished script, the pipeline produces every format: a text-to-speech podcast, a karaoke-style video rendered in Remotion, and The Fix, a sixty-second piece of microcontent fronted by an AI-generated avatar.

Scoring rubrics evaluate the generated content along the way, holding it to a standard worth a learner's time.

Outcome

When complete, the library will include more than 1,100 lessons, each on a single focused topic, available free at 5mux.com. Each lesson is offered in three formats, an audio podcast, a karaoke-style video, and the full text, so anyone can learn in whatever way suits them. Every lesson also includes a sixty-second Fix for shorter sessions, a self-assessment quiz to confirm what was learned, and the score used to evaluate its own generated content. Publishing that score is deliberate: the quality is visible and verifiable rather than assumed.
