Quick Answer
For search, voice, and "just tell me what to do".
Your experience - the lessons, mistakes, insights, and optimizations accumulated over years - represents a learning curve others would pay to shortcut. AI can help extract this tacit knowledge and structure it into courses, guides, and tools. The transformation makes implicit knowledge explicit, personal insights universal, and hard-won lessons teachable. Your years of experience become someone else's weekend of learning.
Key Takeaways:
- Experience is tacit knowledge waiting to be made explicit
- AI helps extract and structure experiential knowledge
- Courses, guides, and tools serve different learning styles
- Your mistakes and insights have high value to beginners
- Experience shortcuts have clear market value

FAQ
What experience is worth productizing?
Experience that took you significant time to develop, led to meaningful outcomes, or involved mistakes others could avoid. The harder it was to learn, the more valuable it is.
Should I teach everything I know?
Start with the 20% of your knowledge that provides 80% of value. Comprehensive comes later; focused and actionable comes first.
What format works best for experience-based products?
Depends on your experience type. How-to knowledge works as guides, skill development as courses, and workflow optimization as tools. Match format to content.
