😥 The challenge

Corporate workshops were highly effective in-person, but Collabo wanted to scale without losing the experiential impact. Existing online tools felt passive, rigid, and dull.

🙇‍♂️ The solution

We created an AI-powered learning app (Duolingo for Design Thinking) provides customized content and gamifies learning and uses interactive activities and instant feedback to deliver content like design thinking to non technical people.

🚀 Outcomes

Course completion improved from 40% → 75%
Learner confidence & practical application of skills significantly increased.
Positioned Collabo XD for scalable digital product revenue.
Collabo XD facilitates highly-custom, in-person design thinking workshops for enterprises. With rising demand and a $166B global online education market, they needed a digital channel without compromising interactivity or learner engagement.
Users didn’t just need content, they needed connection. What clicked:
Collaborative Interactive Activities (e.g. Brainstorming, Persona Creation)
The application consisted of interactive activities to practice everyday, other than the instruction material. Learning by practice and making mistakes.
Both the features above and all activities related to the course are tailored to the company material, so that users feel interested to solve a problem and can apply the learnings in real time after they complete the project.
