• Added a new AI Course Outline and Quiz Builder feature.
• Integrated MemberDash directly into the platform for built-in membership management.
• Introduced "Group-based enrollment" for selling course seats to organizations.
• Added front-end course creation tools for instructors.
• Updated social proof metrics: 100K+ installs and 25M learners taught.
