About Thinkific
Thinkific is layering AI tutoring and B2B commerce onto its course platform.
Thinkific is shipping along three coherent axes: an AI Teaching Assistant called Thinker (Plus-tier only) that answers learner questions grounded in course content, AI-generated summaries across analytics dashboards, and B2B commerce tooling for group orders, seat management, invoicing, and instant payouts. The mobile app got a substantial redesign in April — bottom-bar navigation, faster library experience, mobile community and direct messaging. Each release is small but the AI-plus-B2B pairing is a clear strategic frame.
