What’s New

Lower API costs with the same output quality

Transcript extraction now fetches YouTube video metadata only once per request, reducing repeat calls and cutting overall YouTube API usage by ~50%.

Higher uptime under rate limits and transient failures

LearnLens Studio

What’s New

Stronger search visibility with richer results

LearnLens Studio now includes course schema markup to power rich search results (ratings, descriptions, and key details) so courses stand out in Google before users even click.

Complete discoverability foundation for organic growth

We expanded the SEO and indexing foundation with:

Clearer navigation for users and search engines

Breadcrumb navigation is now available across pages, including breadcrumb schema, helping users understand where they are and helping search engines better interpret site structure.

Page-specific metadata that stays accurate at scale

Metadata is now dynamically generated per page (courses, popular content, and key pages) so each page is properly optimized with the right titles, descriptions, and social previews.

Instant, polished course-ready notifications

Users now receive immediate, Apple-inspired email notifications when a course is ready—complete with thumbnails, course stats, and one-click access.

More reliable course generation under heavy load

Generation is now more resilient for large courses via smart retry logic and sequential processing, preventing timeouts and improving successful completion rates during peak load.

Improved trust and compliance signals

Dedicated Privacy Policy and Terms pages strengthen user trust and support SEO signals and domain credibility.

Faster loading and improved Core Web Vitals

We introduced next-gen image optimization (including AVIF and WebP) to reduce page weight and improve perceived performance—especially on mobile and slower connections.
