What Grindly is
Grindly is a web platform for experts, coaches and educators who create and sell online courses and digital products. Its AI can investigate possible course directions, then draft lessons, quizzes, supporting materials and a sales page for the creator to review before publishing. Course projects use modules and lessons, with written content, embedded video, tasks, downloads and graded quizzes. Creators can also offer downloadable workbooks, guides, planners and checklists, either as AI-written PDFs or their own files. Paid plans add email campaigns and automated sequences, while Marketing Studio produces campaign plans, advertising copy and graphics. Payments connect through the creator’s Stripe account, with orders and refunds managed in Grindly. Listed integrations include Canva, Pexels, Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, YouTube, Vimeo, Loom and Stripe. Students receive a portal showing progress, the next lesson and a completion certificate. Custom domains include managed HTTPS, and the Stripe checkout is branded and secured by Stripe.
