Skill
Refinery

The first platform that converts expert IP — books, courses, frameworks — into AI-native skill cards delivered through Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot via MCP.

The Build Story

AI companies got trained on expert knowledge.
The experts got nothing.

The thesis hit me when I was building AI systems for clients and realized how much expert knowledge had already been fed into these models — books published, courses recorded, frameworks documented — and how zero of that value had returned to the experts who created it.

AI companies were trained on human expertise. The experts got nothing. Skill Refinery was built to close that loop.

The Problem

Expert IP is undermonetized and threatened.

Experts have massive libraries of IP — books, courses, interview archives, proprietary frameworks — that are undermonetized and increasingly threatened by AI that can approximate their expertise without attribution or compensation.

Meanwhile, AI users get generic responses when they could be getting verified expert guidance. The market failure runs both directions.

What We Built

Expert IP in. AI-native skill cards out.
Paid per interaction.

IP Ingestion

Books, transcripts, course content, frameworks — ingested and converted into structured AI-native skill cards.

MCP Delivery

Skill cards delivered directly through Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot via Model Context Protocol. Expert-verified AI.
