Case study: Project Academy - A course platform for building with AI, still in the studio

Mellofattura’s course platform: build real digital products with AI, from prototype to publication, lesson by lesson. Two courses are written and more are in production.

Project: Project Academy

Overview

From prototype to publication, lesson by lesson

Project Academy is Mellofattura’s course platform for building real digital products with AI. Two courses are written, a third is in the studio, and every lesson sits on the same five-phase loop. The public site is offline for now, so the screens below show the platform as it was last published.

Five-phase loop

The method

One cycle, five phases

The loop you repeat until the product is live. Every Academy course is built on it — AI Product Builder opens with this map.

Prototype

Make the idea testable before it gets expensive. A sketch, a flow, or a clickable loop — whatever answers the real uncertainty.

Generation

Hand the scoped brief to the model. The creator still owns the constraints; the agent writes inside them.

Refinement

Read what came back, cut what does not serve the first version, and send the next pass with a tighter contract.

Collaboration

Put the work in front of people. Separate observation from opinion, then decide what actually changes.

Publication

Ship the smallest version that delivers the value. Feedback from the live product starts the loop again.

Curriculum

Start here, more in the studio

Two courses are written. A third is locked while it is being written. Lessons mix reading, quizzes, isolated practice, and a project that carries through the module.

01Available

AI Product Builder

The full cycle of making a digital product with AI, from prototype to publication, without needing to be a senior engineer. Two modules, three lessons.

02Available

Introdução ao Pensamento Agêntico

How to think, delegate, and work with agentic AI: goals instead of steps, clear limits, and the human in command. Three modules, seven lessons.

03In the studio

Next course

A third course is in production, and the platform grows around the curriculum.

Product

The platform, frame by frame

Landing, course cards, the five-phase method, and a lesson with its module map — the surfaces a student actually moves through.
